When the Santo’s Super 3 Extreme Drag Race, presented by Uplift Cranes and Titan Cranes, hits Willowbank Raceway this Good Friday and Easter Saturday it will do so with some Top Doorslammer flavour thanks to TBR and fellow doorslammer racers Bill Goonan and Russ Pavey. >>
>> The four racers will join together to undertake a Top Doorslammer exhibition across both days of the 18-19 April event, which returns in 2014 after a 2013 debut. >>
>> The event will not only supply Victor and Ben Bray with yet another opportunity to put on a show at their home track, but also provide further testing opportunities for the new converter set-up they have introduced to both cars this season. >>
>> “This event at Willowbank Raceway was really great in 2013 and so TBR is very happy to have been invited to be a part of it in 2014” said Victor Bray. >>
>> “Any opportunity to race at our home track is one that we want to take advantage of, and that is even more true when you have such an entertaining line-up on hand at a great time of the year. >>
>> “We can’t wait to get on track and put on a show for all the fans that will come out this Good Friday and Easter Saturday – they won’t be disappointed!” >>
>> For Ben Bray this weekend’s event will see him return to the scene of his first sub-seven second pass at the wheel of his Sidchrome Nissan Altima, although this time he will be taking to the track aboard his Sidchrome Top Doorslammer Monaro. >>
>> “We were on track at Willowbank Raceway’s Easter event in 2013 in the Nissan Altima as part of a three event, three weekend blitz and with a 6.946 second pass set on the second day we became the third quickest four-cylinder in the country at the time,” said Ben Bray, who weeks later went on to become the quickest four cylinder ‘doored’ car in the world running an SR20 motor and the quickest four cylinder car outright (of the time) in Australia. >>
>> “I certainly have fond memories of Easter at Willowbank Raceway, so hopefully we can keep that feeling going this year with some great runs for the fans and more valuable data for our converter testing.” >>
>>
>> Each night of the Santo’s Super 3 Extreme Drag Race presented by Uplift Cranes and Titan Cranes will feature (from 5.00pm to 9.30pm approximately) the Top Doorslammer exhibition as part of a program which includes Top Fuel, Top Alcohol, Top Fuel Motorcycles, Pro Street and three closely-matched categories amid a flurry of on-track light and audio-visual theatrics. Spectator tickets are now available at www.willowbankraceway.com.au with tickets starting at just $35.00 for adults and $30.00 for students/concession card holders with ID, while children aged 13 and under gain free admission. A special pre-purchase only two-day admission pass is also on offer until 16 April 2014. >>
