race to the finish line.
“In the second round it was the same sort
of thing; really all of the racing over the
weekend was really close and competitive.
Coming into the final I had to chase my
opponent Steve all the way to the finish line,
it was a good race!
“Alice Springs is always a great track and
it was awesome all weekend, I can’t fault
the track or the running of the event, it was
amazing. My thanks goes to all of the great
people, volunteers, ANDRA and everyone who
puts in their time and effort to make the
event what it is.
“I also have to thank my mum and dad,
my sister Carmine, Gawler Mechanical,
Wayne Cleaning Systems, Fresh Fruit For
You, Michael Jennings, Mike Braun from The
Coffee Barun, all of the people we travelled
with and also all of the racers for making the
event what it was.”
ADAM MUNDY
MODIFIED WINNER, DESERT NATIONALS
“The Desert Nationals was a fantastic
weekend. The car was on-song all weekend
and I managed to pull some very good
lights too – some double zeros and a triple-
zero in the last round of qualifying too,”
Mundy enthused.
“In the first round I had a bye with a last
minute withdrawal by Dave Hutchen, and
then I was up against Jess Voigt and we both
broke out – but luckily I broke out less!
ADAM MUNDY
“The track was getting better and better
all day, I was even able to up my launch as
the track was that sticky I didn’t get any
wheelspin.
“In the final it was side by side over the
line and neither Simon (Barlow) or I knew
who won. When I found out it was me,
I was over the moon as this is my first
ANDRA Christmas Tree.
MARK TATTINGHAM
“I have to say a big thank you to my crew,
my dad and crew chief Des Mundy, John
Boundey, Leon and Lisa Davies for all of their
help and Steve and Leanne Braggs for an
awesome car and all of their assistance over
the last 12 months.
“Finally I have to say a big well done to ANDRA
and everyone at Alice Springs Dragway, what
an awesome weekend! I am still floating!”
