30 JAN 2012 - Testing Times at Sydney Dragway
| All week the Weather Bureau had their weather prediction meter stuck on a few showers for the Sydney area, however Saturday turned into a great day for Drag Racing with the mild conditions extending into the night producing ideal conditions for Testing new and updated combinations. |
![]() Bruce Leake had his new GXP out for some more testing and finally got rid of the gremlins that have prevented them from getting much track time in the past. The Team made a bunch of passes and even though they only managed a 7.33 best they went home happy with a heap of data to analyze and tune to next time out. |
![]() Greg Smith was out with his "Stress Relief" Bantam Altered hiking the front end on every run! |
![]() One of the biggest names in Drag Racing, well one of the longest anyway! Kon Michaloudakis has 582 cubic inches of Chevy stuffed under the hood of his Top Sportsman Capri. |
![]() David Campbell grabs every opportunity he can to have a play on his 350 Chev powered Drag Bike with it running well into the nines. |
![]() Another brand new next generation racer hit the track on Saturday with Daniel Mifsud, son of Top Doorslammer racer Sean "Wild Willy" Mifsud, and went well licencing in his Junior Dragster. |
![]() The Welch family are great supporters of Sydney Dragway attending nearly every event that is on and here we have Richard Welch on his Kawasaki Modified Bike. |
![]() Another keen supporter of Sydney Dragway is Andrew Musgrave who has been driving Mark Hinchelwoods Turboed Altered of late, but as they are waitng on parts for Mark's car Andrew dug his own 7 second Altered out for for a bit fun! |
![]() Ex Junior Dragster racer Rocco Romano got a bit more seat time in his Mike Boss built Dragster running a best of 7.73 at nearly 182 mph (292 km/h) |
![]() Bill Perdikaris grabbed the opportunity to get a bit more Data in his ZX2 Escort Pro Stocker. |
![]() When we said Kon had one of the longest names in Drag Racing we think we have found possibly THE longest ... Niki Taube Kulakowski Zakrzewski affectionately known to us all as Niki Z (Zee) had her new Harley Destroyer out for some more testing and got down into the low tens on only her second time out with the new bike. |
![]() Long time VW racer Henry Spicak had his 11 second Vee Dub out for some testing ahead of the VW Show Down here at Sydney Dragway on February 25 |
![]() John Culmone had his Pontiac on rails and bettered both ends of the C/G National Records with 7.98 @ 170.19 mph! Not bad considering he only licenced in the car a few weeks ago. |
![]() Leonard Azzopardi had his Nitro burning Top Bike out for some more testing with the team battling a small misfire in the engine all day, inspite of that he still managed a best of 6.75 @ 195 mph (314 km/h) |
![]() David Franks licenced in his 350 Chev powered Spitzer Altered and went home happy with a 9.79 @127 mph time card first time out. |
![]() When it comes to Drag Racing, no one is keener than Carolyn Tzortzas, her and husband Theo are usually first in line at the gate whenever an event is on here at Sydney Dragway and her 427 Chevy powered Hatchback is no slouch either running mid tens! |
![]() Steve and Wendy Turner had their Black Widow AA/FD at the track with Luke Shepherd at the controls and they also went home happy getting on top of the mechanical gremlins that had plagued them last time out. Look for these guys and bunch of other Nitro burning Dragsters and Funny Cars at The Day of the Drags on the 10-11 March right here at Sydney Dragway. |

Young Lachlan MacCaskell had the throttle stick on this Junior Dragster and had a moment we he rolled it on to the side. We are happy to report Lachlan was not injured at all and will be back racing just as soon as Dad fixes his Dragster! The following is a message from his mum ... "We would like to say a big Thank You to all the Sydney Dragway Staff and Paramedics and Fire crew for their help yesterday with Lachlan. He was up playing as normal today." Many Thanks Craig, Donna, Danielle, Adriana and Lachlan MacCaskell |
