Lee Bektash - Pro StockTeam Mopar Australia's main man and mini-me racer, Lee and Leon Bektash, head to Adelaide this weekend in the same transporter at the same time and with the same goal – to clean up at the Spring Nationals.

Bektash senior has had a late season charge with victory at the 2013 Nitro Champs and it's form he is looking to continue with and even share with son Leon.

"I love winning," explained Lee "but I think I would be twice as happy for Leon if he were to take home some trophies."

"Drag racing is very much a family sport and racing with my son is one of the many things that I love about this sport. It's pretty amazing to be able to do this with my boy," explain an obviously proud Lee.

Jason Grima - Pro StockANDRA Pro Stock Championship point's leader Jason Grima will feel the pressure when his PC Group Ford Mustang rolls into Adelaide International Raceway for the second time this season. He has a slight 18-point lead over his nearest competitor and there are just two rounds left!

Back in October 2012, it was at the first round of the Pro Stock championship where vandals had damaged the AIR surface prior to the event. The drivers deemed the track unsafe for competition and were awarded 40 points apiece.

As such the Lady Daly Spring Nationals on September 20-21, will see the Sydney racer make his official AIR Pro Stock appearance on the South Australian track.
