Summer Slammers Coming to Sydney
Dragway
After the loss of the 400 Thunder
Australian Professional Drag Racing
Series
championship round due to be run
at Calder Park in January, Sydney
Dragway will now host round 4 of the
2017-18 Pro Slammer Championship at the
Santo’s Summer Thunder in January 2018.
Working in close consultation with the
400 Thunder board and 400 Thunder
General Manager, Kevin Prendergast,
Sydney Dragway extended the opportunity
to replace the lost round of the
championship in January.
“Pro Slammer put on an excellent show in
Sydney at the ACDelco East Coast
Thunder, despite the wet weather, and we
know that the category is a fan
favourite”, Sydney Dragway General
Manager Peter Beaumont said today. “ The
addition of Pro Slammer to the Santo’s
Summer Thunder adds another element of
excitement, and with the “All Run
Format” I’m sure that the racing will be
excellent come
January”.
In addition to Pro Slammer, the event
will see Round 3 of the Top Fuel and Top
Bike Championships and Round 2 of the
Pro Alcohol title chase, all running
under the “All Run Format” designed to
deliver maximum
entertainment for spectators.
As a result of the Pro Slammer addition
to the race program, the schedule has
been extended to include qualifying for
sportsman categories to begin on Friday
19th January from
approximately 1pm (depending on entry
numbers). There will also be 2 scheduled
tests sessions available to the 400
Thunder Professional Series classes on
the evening of the 19th
January which is expected to be well
supported by all categories.
Saturday January 20th will
see the “All Run” format in action for
the Sportsman categories, and a
last-chance test session for the 400
Thunder Professional Series categories
with the “All Run” format racing due to
begin at around 3pm.
Spectator tickets are available now at
www.sydneydragway.com.au .
Racer entries for both Professional and
Sportsman categories will be open the
week starting 11th December.
