Hello Racers and their Crew, Families and Friends,

Thank you for coming and supporting our Club last weekend, because it’s for you that we put the work in to have the events. And therefore a big shout-out to all our hard working volunteers – thank you – we can’t hold these events without you! 😍

It might have been a smaller entry line-up but that didn’t stop the two days of racing fun. It was great to see some first-timers and some old faces returning 👍

Congratulations to all the finalists and here’s the results:

🏁 Motorbikes:
Mick Close from Muswellbrook cut the start juuust too early on the Yamaha R1 with a -0.040 red light to give Brian Vernon from Cessnock a birthday win on the 1993 Triumph Trident, running a 7.891 on his 7.82 dial-in.
🏁 Group D:
Rather different Mitsubishis lined up for the Group D final. Jesse James from Mullaley was giving drag racing his first go in the 1989 Trident Trayback and made it through to the final against the 2005 Evo 9 Wagon of Luke Dangar-Britz from Newcastle. James had to push it all the way to the finish line with Dangar-Britz cutting a great 0.006 light and James just broke out with a 10.231 on 10.250 dial in.
🏁 Group C:
Simon Bestmann from Singleton Heights in the ’73 Mitsubishi Galant lined up against Branxton’s Mark Littlejohn in the 2014 Holden VF Ute. Bestmann ran closest to his dial-in with an 8.666 on an 8.550 and received the first place trophy.
🏁 Group B:
James Allston from Tamworth got the better light of 0.016 in the 1979 Volvo against Dylan Giles from Lake Macquarie in the ’74 HQ Ute, but Allston ran off his dial-in and Giles ran a 7.979 on his 7.90 dial-in to take the win.
🏁 Group A:
There was only 0.043 difference at the finish line in the Group A final between Robert Gardner’s ’72 LJ Torana from Dubbo and Stewart Tinson’s 2024 Tesla from Newcastle. Tinson put a tight package together with a 0.034 reaction and a 7.280 on his 7.20 dial-in edging out Gardner’s 7.841 on a 7.750 dial-in with a 0.066 reaction.

The following trophies are based on any race run during the eliminations, when the pressure is on:
🏁 Best Reaction: James Allston from Tamworth with a 0.001 second reaction time in the 1979 Volvo.
🏁 Closest-To-Dial-in: Brian Thomas from Tamworth ran a 6.146 on his 6.140 dial-in the ’67 Chev Camaro coupe.

Thanks again for everyone’s support in 2026. Next event is the Gunfight at Gunnedah 2 on 7 & 8 November – see you there!

All drivers and crew to attend the Driver’s Briefing, which will be held before any racing starts, approx. 9.30 -10am. Listen out for call out for the Driver’s Briefing.
There is generally no official lunch break on Saturday.

Sunday is Qualifying and Racing/Eliminations followed by Trophy Presentation
You do not need to register again but drivers do need to sign in on Sunday morning and be in the pits by 9am.
Driver’s briefing will be held and then up to 3 more qualifying passes will be offered on Sunday morning – you must make at least one pass on Sunday morning to proceed to racing in the eliminations.
If you have an issue and won’t be running in eliminations, please advise a TDRA volunteer as soon as possible.
Lunch break approx. 12-1pm – this is for TDRA volunteers to work out your groupings for the elimination rounds.
And this is when you work out your nominated dial-in, which you'll need to know when you drive up for your first elimination.
The groups for Eliminations are based on your Elapsed Time (ET) from the morning’s qualifying and will be different to the morning's groups.

Presentation is held off the airstrip, out near the airport terminal building (car park side) and we hope to hold it 4-4.30pm.

Note that all scheduled times are subject to entrant numbers, track set-up/pull down and weather.

Safe travels to Gunnedah and see you on the weekend.
