In an Australian drag racing first, IHRA Australia / 400 Thunder are now going to reward the Top 5 point’s scorers after the 51^st Gulf Western Winternationals, with the prestige of running a single digit number for the following season.

With growing numbers across the board in all IHRA Australia / 400 Thunder categories this is an obvious move to reward all competitors from Junior Dragster through to Top Fuel. With prominent national TV Coverage through 7 Mate and International coverage through OVO, drag racing is seeing resurgence in crowd numbers and popularity. We see this as a positive reward for all the dedicated race teams; that put the hard work in throughout the racing season.
