No stale performances expected from Price

Written by ANDRA.

Wayne Price - Top AlcoholMelbourne baker Wayne Price will be making his first appearance at Adelaide International Raceway for next weekend's Aeroflow Summer Speedfest, which features the third round of the ANDRA Top Alcohol Championship.

Price's 400kmh Funny Car has been on the improve in recent events, reaching the semi finals at the Australian Nationals at Sydney Dragway and setting a new personal best time of 5.68 seconds for the quarter mile (402m).

With the unique Adelaide event being run over 1000 feet, Price said after getting a feel for the track he would like to begin to see what it can hold.

"I'd like to think we can run into the fours over 1000 feet but not having been on the track before I am not 100% on how the car will react to the Adelaide surface," he said.

Rick Gauci - Top AlcoholTop Alcohol returns to Adelaide International Raceway for the Aeroflow Summer Speedfest in just under two weeks and carrying the Aeroflow flag in a big way will be Sydney driver Rick Gauci.

Since the last time Gauci raced at Adelaide in April 2012, he has upgraded the his Ford Mustang Funny Car with better ignition control as he seeks to tame the 1000 feet distance - unique to the Adelaide strip.

"We had traction issues last time as we didn't have an ignition system that allowed us to take timing out and that saw us getting massively sideways," he said. "Now we can apply the power gradually and take advantage of the track where it is good but be prepared for parts where it is tricky."

Lamattina's win in the final of the Friday round was one of the standout races of the ANDRA Championship season. The Fuchs-powered dragster used a reaction time advantage to help edge ahead of Damien Harris with the carrot king's 4.73-second pass getting the win light over Harris' 4.77 pass.

With the team's first win this season coming after three consecutive finals appearances, Lamattina also took the points lead in the ANDRA Championship chase.

Running the new format for the first time, where two championship rounds are held over two consecutive days, Lamattina proved unstoppable across the weekend. He took victory with a slowing 5.49 over a tyre smoking Damien Harris, who also made the final for the second time in a weekend.

The win extended Lamattina's championship lead over second placed Darren Morgan to 40 points.

"It is a lead but it's only a marginal one, we only have to slip up and Darren could be right on our tail again," Lamattina said.

"It's great for the championship for us to take the points lead, the car is pretty strong so we will see what we can do tomorrow," he said. "The strategy was always to put a tune up in it that would work and go from A to B; the car is just on song.
