Matt Mingay of Stuntz Inc.Next weekend's on-track action at Benaraby Raceway (29 June) for round three of the 2013 Slamfest Series will not only feature 28,000 horses worth of Top Doorslammer action but also the belief-defying antics of three of Australia's most recognised stunt riders.

Now entering its fourth year, the Slamfest Series sees Top Doorslammer racers from around the country competing across the eighth-mile distance at Australia's regional tracks.

At Benaraby Raceway's round of the Series, eight 3,500hp Top Doorslammer machines will be joined on track by Matt Mingay - one of the country's most famous stunt bike performers – and his Stuntz Inc crew riders Allan 'Nads' Morrisson and Dan Milne.

The 2013 Fuchs Winternationals may have ended in rain but that didn't stop Murray O'Connor getting amongst the quickest and fastest cars in ANDRA's hottest bracket, Top Doorslammer.

After recording back-to-back 5.8-second passes in qualifying and a semi-finals berth at the recent Nitro Champs at Sydney Dragway, Team O'Connor was looking forward to a promising Winternationals campaign.

Despite the team's best preparation, the tune-up saw the car break into tyre shake 100-feet into the first run and move towards the centreline.

O'Connor explains, "I had to give it a quick peddle (modulation of the throttle) and a straighten up before I again nailed the throttle. Unfortunately, the blower belt broke at three-quarter track and the Falcon coasted through for a 6.21-second pass at just over 220mph.

Wet weather has brought a premature end to the 2013 FUCHS Winternationals campaign of Team Bray Racing at Willowbank Raceway today, with the fourth and final day of the event abandoned due to rain.

Team Bray Racing's Ben Bray was set to tackle a record Top Doorslammer field in eliminations today after qualifying seventh courtesy of his 5.937 second effort at 246.35 miles per hour, however the decision was made by track management at midday on Monday to abandon 'finals day' with points to be awarded for completed rounds as per the ANDRA rule book.

For Victor Bray, it is a bittersweet result as while the event is a favourite at his home track, the record bump spot for the bracket – seeing the field declared the quickest in Australian history – of 5.970 seconds did see him on the outside looking in , with championship rivals Peter Kapiris and John Zappia both able to qualify.

Day two of Willowbank Raceway's FUCHS Winternationals has seen an array of high speed passes wowing a bumper crowd at Queensland's premier drag racing facility today.

At the close of today's proceedings Phil Lamattina (Top Fuel), John Cannuli (Top Alcohol), John Zappia (Top Doorslammer), Jason Grima (Pro Stock), Chris Porter (Top Bike) and Rhett Lougheed (Pro Stock Motorcyle) are on top of the timesheets for the ANDRA Pro Series brackets and will return to the track for the continuation of qualifying from 12.30pm tomorrow (Sunday), ahead of eliminations racing on Monday.

In Top Doorslammer, reigning and five-time champion John Zappia blazed through to set a 5.753 second pass at 251.30 miles per hour to secure his spot as the number one qualifier for the bracket which is the quickest seen at Willowbank Raceway with a 'bump spot' (position 8) of 6.033 seconds at the close of today's racing.

If you love your burnouts the 2013 NT Titles Presented by 7mate is where the action is going to be on Friday and Saturday, 12 -13 July.

Taking to the D&M Enterprises Colosseum throughout the weekend will be Burnout Masters Craig Widdett in the CUTSIK VK Commodore and Dave Pendlebury in the PROPSI Hilux.

PROPSI has taken the place of T4TUFF who had to pull out after a family illness. We wish Matt Power all the best.

In what is becoming an annual burnout event for Darwin, this year Hidden Valley is featuring two burnout categories thanks to the support of NT Auto Air. Our V8 and Blown guys go head to head while the emerging 4 cylinders, 6's and rotors get to battle it out for their own cash prize pool.

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."

The stage is now set for Monday's 'race day' at the FUCHS Winternationals, with qualifying concluding Sunday in front of an enthusiastic crowd.

At the close of today's proceedings, top qualifiers had been found for Top Fuel (Mildura's Phil Lamattina), Top Doorslammer (WA's John Zappia), Top Alcohol (Hillcrest's Gary Phillips), Top Bike (Narangba's Chris Porter) and Pro Stock Motorcycle (Aussie-born US resident Rhett Lougheed) while Pro Stock enjoyed its first round of racing with eight racers making it through to Monday's race day – Wayne Daley, Tyronne Tremayne, Aaron Tremayne, Shane Tucker, Rick Chilton, American Brandon Huhtala, Chris Soldatos and top qualifier Jason Grima.

The fourth and final day of the FUCHS Winternationals will kick off tomorrow (Monday 10 June 2013) from 8.30am with the final runs for all brackets scheduled for 2.30pm.

Pro Stock racer Jason Grima of St Marys South (NSW) has top qualified to lead Australia's quickest Pro Stock field at Willowbank Raceway today as day one of the FUCHS Winternationals (7-10 June) roared to life.

Twenty-one Pro Stock racers are attempting to qualify for a 16-car field this weekend at what is the largest championship drag racing event held outside of the US.

After this afternoon's session, Victoria's Ian Brown is on the 'bump spot' (position 16) with a 7.124 second effort - making the field the quickest Pro Stock field ever seen in this country, beating the previous record of 7.125 seconds.
