ANDRA is the premier drag racing sanctioning body of Australia, sanctioning races in classes from Top Fuel to Junior Dragster.

Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports and Events Manager Jim Greenleaf experienced what ANDRA drag racing has to offer when he recently attended the Australian Nationals in Sydney.

“I was very impressed with the quality of the racer cars, the level of competition, and the enthusiasm of the racers, teams, and spectators,” Greenleaf said. “The ANDRA organization has an exciting vision for the future of drag racing in Australia. Summit Racing is excited to be the title sponsor of the Sportsman Series as well as being a partner with ANDRA to take sport of drag racing to the next level in Australia.”

“I am excited to be working with a global brand such as Summit Racing Equipment,” said ANDRA Drag Racing CEO Malcolm Bulley. “As we continue to grow, we welcome their input into our premier Sportsman Drag Racing Championship.”

The Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series will expand to 12 classes with the addition of Top Sportsman for the 2015 season. Other classes are Supercharged Outlaws; Super Stock; Super Gas; Super Sedan; Super Compact: Competition; Modified; Street; Competition Bike: Modified Bike; and Junior Dragster.
