Records and person bests were the order of the night at Round 4 of the Track Championship Series at Hidden Valley Drag Strip on Saturday with Scott MacLean piloting his Top Alcohol Funny Car to a new track record.

MacLean started the night with a shattering 5.723 second pass 251.20mph but he didn't stop there. He went one better running another personal best and resetting the TA/FC ET and MPH records with a 5.685 second run 251.95mph.

"We have been working on the combination all year in preparation for the national ANDRA round in August and it is coming together well" said Scott MacLean.

When you think Sainty Racing and you think "Top Fuel". However, behind closed doors in the middle of the night whilst most of us are sleeping, the secret Sainty elves have been quietly working on a Top Alcohol Funny Car.

Just Drag Racing can announce today than the new "Blind Obsession" Funny Car car is very close to being race ready and will run the full 2014 ANDRA Top Alcohol Championship season.

At the wheel of the new Funny Car will be Mark Hinchelwood; AKA the driver of the Motorsport Connections crazy 6 second  turbo altered.

New from our friends at Hoolgators...

"Every year we get asked at race meetings wether there is an opportunity to purchases the shirts that we wear.

So this year we have called on the services from Thursday Thunder Apparel to come up with a new design and some thing that was very different to what every other team was wearing.

The next ANDRA Drag Racing Series event will be a historic occasion when Top Alcohol and Top Bike race for championship points at Hidden Valley Drag Strip for the first time.

The venue went through a $4.6 million upgrade from 2010 to 2011, bringing it to an international standard. The work included a complete resurface of the track as well as the installation of a concrete surface to the 330 feet mark, upgraded safety barriers, a new burnout pad, the installation of Australia's largest readout (timing) boards and an improved spectator viewing area.

The concrete launch area in particular won awards for its flatness which allows high horsepower vehicles to get all their power down without having to worry about any bumps along the way.
