ANDRA CEO Malcolm Bulley will be attending this Tuesday evenings (2/7) meeting of the Victorian Drag Racers Club to make a statement about the latest information on what is happening in Melbourne.

All current Victorian ANDRA members and members of the Melbourne Drag Racing Club are invited to attend. This is not to be missed.

The meeting will be held at the Williamstown RSL, 128 Ferguson St Williamstown. The meeting starts at 8.00 pm in the function room. A special guest will also be making an appearance.

There will be raffles on the night with some great prizes to be won, thanks to Mark Hinchelwood of Motorsport Connections Australia and Matt Forbes of Fast Time Design.

For the first time in the 14 year history of the Tri-Series Coonawarra will not be part of the 2013 / 2014 schedule.

In his 4th year as the President of South East Drag Racing Association (SEDRA), Alex Van Leuven explains...

"Coonwarra is a temporary facility and once a year we hold a drag race on the local airstrip. It's very difficult to prepare a virgin track and provide enough traction for the cars and bikes. In the last 5 years or so competitors have gotten quicker and quicker and we can't guarantee a satisfactory racing surface."

While traction is a problem so is falling spectator numbers.

Greg Schultz (Photo courtesy Fred Dwyer)After 3 years in the role, Greg Schultz stepped down as the ANDRA Group 1 Liaison Officer on Monday the 10th of June.

Having been involved with ANDRA as a steward since 1992, and the NSW Chief Steward from 1993, Greg decided now was a good time to cut down on some of his responsibilities and concentrate on the family's Outlaw Nitro Funny Car.

"I've really enjoyed my time working with the group 1 racers and it's been an absolute pleasure. I hope I've made a difference to their racing. Sure we didn't agree all the time and I didn't always make the right decisions; but right, wrong or indifferent I hope I was respected and racers know I did the very best job I could."

This week the new Just Drag Racing online shop will open for business. Inside you'll find a range of products for drag racers, drag racing fans and car enthusiasts. To start with we have the following quality products on offer...

• Aeroflex Silicone Hose
• Just Drag Racing Crew Shirts
• Battery Chargers an Accessories
• Diecast Collectibles
• Evans Waterless Coolant
