(29-30 June) and Benaraby Raceway (22 September) in 2018. It is
expected to attract racers from all over the State who wish to be
crowned the ANDRA Queensland Champion for their class. “The continued support for this series by ANDRA and Summit
Racing is very appreciated by the regional drag racing community
in Queensland.
Summit Racing Equipment Motorsport and Events Manager,
Jim Greenleaf, said supporting the Queensland championship
was just another way the performance powerhouse was looking
to support grassroots drag racing in Australia. “The inaugural Summit Racing Qld Championship was very well
supported by Sportsman racers in 2017 and plans are in place to
offer another great series in 2018, commencing with Round One at
Roma on the 2018 Easter weekend.
“The inaugural Summit Racing Queensland Championship was
a great success and so we are very pleased to be able to continue
our support of this concept in 2018,” Greenleaf said. “This meeting will take place as one of the many events in Roma
over Easter as part of the Easter in the Country Celebrations,
seeing Drag Racing put on show to a very large country audience.
Round two will then be held in Mackay at Palmyra Dragway
in June, before the Final round is held at Benaraby Dragway
in September.
“Regional tracks are very important in the fabric of our drag
racing community, so we are very excited to be able to continue
to support this championship which brings together Queensland’s
drag racers.”
Once again, the three-round championship will be a joint effort
between the committees of Palmyra Dragway, Ironbark Raceway
and Benaraby Raceway.
“It is very welcome news that the ANDRA Queensland
Championship run by the Palmyra, Benaraby and Ironbark Drag
Clubs will again have Summit Racing as the naming sponsor for
2018,” Palmyra Drag Racing Club President, Glenn Cunningham
said.
“Thanks to the points system run by the series, consistency across
all three rounds will be rewarded and we hope to see a repeat of
the 2017 series where all class winners were not decided until the
final round.”
