Close to 180 sportsman racers will converge on Willowbank Raceway for two big events across the one weekend of March 19-21.
The filming of new reality drag racing show 1320x – from the makers of US hit ‘Pinks All Out’ - will be followed swiftly by the all-new Street Machine Pro Street Nationals.
Managing Director of Willowbank Raceway Steve Bettes said the three days had the makings of one of the largest sportsman drag racing weekends in Australian history.
“With 1320x and the Street Machine Pro Street Nationals both taking place at Willowbank Raceway over March 19-21, it is going to be a massive weekend for grassroots drag racing,” said Bettes.
“We have racers like Johnny Wilson, Street Machine of the Year winner Angela Dow, Terri Sander, Christine Kilmister and Collin Willshire all taking part, with a large number of racers entered in both events, so there will be plenty for the fans to see.
“With a Show and Shine also taking place as well as the opportunities for the fans to walk through the pits and see the drivers and cars up close, the March weekend is a great opportunity for the fans of grassroots drag racing to immerse themselves in the action.”
The massive March weekend of racing kicks off on Friday March 19, continuing through to Sunday March 21, with a change to the Friday schedule as indicated below.
Following March’s grassroots spectacular, the major event action continues for Willowbank Raceway with the ENZED Australian Top Fuel Championships (featuring Top Fuel, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Bike) on April 17 and 18, and the season-ending Castrol EDGE Winternationals on June 10-13.
