Written by Scott White Racing.

Scott White Win Spring NatsIn what can only be described as a game changing moment, Darwin Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Scott White scored one of his biggest drag racing career wins at the recent Lady Daly Hotel Springnationals.

The Springnationals featured the fifth round of the ANDRA Pro Stock Motorcycle Championship, and as such all the heavy hitters were in the Adelaide International Raceway pits.

White qualified second and then went on to defeat Glenn Wooster, Maurice Allen and Phil Howard in eliminations to earn his second ANDRA Pro Stock Motorcycle victory and 107 valuable points.

“I’m very, very pleased with the results,” said White. I knew a win was coming and felt confident that this could be the weekend.

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

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.
