23 AUG 2011 - Nitro filled NSW Champs Round Two !!!
The weather bureau did it's best to try and turn everyone away from watching Drag Racing on the weekend with predictions of unfavourable weather ... sorry I can't bring myself to say the R word!
The call was made to go for it and do our best to run the event as the Chemical Warfare Nitro Funny Car team had come down from Queensland to match up with NSW's own Chris Stipanovich in a Nitro Funny match race. When the sun came up on Saturday Morning we just knew the right decision was made and the pits were buzzing in anticipation of seeing Nitro Funny Cars return to Sydney and of Round Two of the NSW Championship Series action!

![]() On top of the Nitro Funny Car action there was a strong showing from the local sportsman racers and the run that sent Sydney Dragway and the world buszzing was Robert Campisi's 5.975 at a whopping 254.52 mph!!! (410 km/h) ... |

![]() Golf cart of the day went to Michael Grunbaum's 57 Chevy version!!! |
![]() The Cowin Family had the track hired earlier in the week but the weather just would not let them play so they decided to hang around and give the fans a bit of a show and a 4.656 @ 286.86 mph (461 km/h) off the trailer was pretty exciting to watch!!! |
