Although it wasn’t a Blown Car round, we did see a few sneak through in the Supercharged Outlaw and Top Comp classes…. So we still managed to get our fix of the big tyred door cars for the week!

Awesome to see some solid runs from all of the racers, Madi running some serious numbers in the Funnycar, Maurice breaking into the 5’s in the Full Carbon Chassis Commodore and even Jess in the Funnycar had some serious hang time on those front wheels on a few of those passes!

This crazy bunch were at it again, the craziest big tyre cars shy of Blowers hanging out of the bonnet!

Always an awesome field to watch, from Slime Time III and the Gullotto’s Soarer, to Yvette’s always entertaining wheelstanding XE Fairmont… This class has it all!

Some pretty awesome racing and some very tight wins, was also good to see Rocco in the Camaro come out – who isn’t at all afraid to use all of those 358 cubes (and all of the tacho!)

Definitely worth a watch!

All of the Super Street and Sedan action from the Blown Alcohol Allstars round right here! I don’t think there were too many (if any) passes we missed, so all the action of this great mix of old and new cars!

A pretty big standout of this round was Matt and Steph Gullotto who made it all the way through the day and ended up taking out both Super Street in the VN SS and Super Sedan in the VL! That’s a pretty epic effort especially considering Steph being unwell leading up to the event and nearly pulling out!

And ofcourse the cover photo of Grants 363ci HK Monaro! …A bit disappointed we didn’t catch the old girl from the front with the wheels up… but hopefully next time will snag that money shot!

Lots of great action in this one with plenty of the regulars and a few you might not have seen on the channel yet, we hope you enjoy it!

With an opportunity for a handful of exhibition rounds at the Blown Alcohol Allstars Round, we found ourselves a pretty decent field of small tyred radial cars who were keen on getting some laps in.

The weather finally started to resemble what we would expect to see at this time of year over here (and it’s about time too!)…

With plenty of the regulars on the channel and we also finally welcomed Lundy into the Radial family with his SN95 Mustang making it’s debut at the track (and on our channel!). The car performed flawlessly all day with Jeff and the boys giving the Mustang a little more spice each time he came out, by the end of the night Lundy was totally blown away with how far he had already been able to take the SBE Turbo LS1 Mustang and how well the car performed on it’s very first outing.

Was pretty awesome to watch, especially given Lundy is normally the one on the tools helping everyone else out with their cars – to finally see him out on track in his own car mixing it with the best of them was pretty special. Looking forward to seeing what’s next for Lundy and the SN95 that’s for sure!

Was also good to see Jarred’s VL finally get down and start to get back to where he left off with the old combo, hopefully we should see some PB’s out of this one again soon!

Some great races between the Advanced Race Fab XY and UC, Connor had a few zingers in the Tonner but got a handle on it later in the night… and Kev has found the flame thrower button in Mumbo on the new Turbo setup – will be making sure to catch a few more angles of that at the next round!

This little R100 is packed full of the best of the best when it comes to Rotor gear, which is only fitting given the level of detail owner Dave goes to with everything he owns – his RX2 is literally a show car that also runs 8’s (also on our channel if you go looking!)

Check out Cochy in the R100 rip a few test laps down at the test and tune, the car has massive potential and we can’t wait to see it back again soon!

This isn’t your average VT Commodore, and it definitely isn’t LS1 powered either!

With the monster PSI – D series blower and hat sitting higher than the roof line of the car (which I might add is a attached to a full vacuum moulded carbon fibre shell), and that massive blower is bolted to a BAE 521 cube TSP Noonan Headed Hemi, it’s a serious peice of kit!

This is another awesome addition to our field of Blown Cars here in Perth, Western Australia…. Check out a few of the shake down passes in the Slammer from the October Test and Tune, and keep an eye out for this one in our Blown Car Championship Round videos!

Any trainspotters on the Channel probably recognize this pretty unique ute from a couple of years back… (Locals in the radial scene don’t count 😂)! We were set to tee up a pretty epic video of the ute and spent a fair amount of time putting together a trailer video that you can still find on our Instagram and Facebook to hype all the viewers up… Unfortunately the weather had other ideas and we never did get to see it break into the 7’s… or see it wheels up, which it’s renowned for!

The car sat in hibernation for a good while and then out of nowhere found its way back to the track for this event! So yes, we finally were able to get some decent videos of it making a pass… but the Ute had other ideas in the way of those being nice clean A-B jobs… Nevertheless it was just as impressive watching Jesse pedal this monster down the track, we certainly know what it’s capable of doing and we are confident that it wont be too far off next time we see it back at the track!

If you haven’t seen it, or heard it before… Tell us we are wrong in saying this is the most unique sounding Barra that would have to be in existence.

We’re trying to track Errol down to get the nitty gritty on the car but from what we understand it’s a mechanically injected destroked Barra and it sounds absolutely mental!

We grabbed a few clips of the car from the October Test and Tune, unfortunately at the Golden States round on the Friday Night (just a few weeks ago) the car got out of shape up the top end of the track and it all went downhill from there and the car ended up on it’s roof which is almost a replay of a similar crash in 2017 at almost exactly the same spot on the track! Errol walked away without a scratch and hopefully the damage to the car is fixable as we would love to see it back again – It’s definitely one of our favourites!

You can watch the video of that pass on the Friday night here:

An absolutely wild car that sounds as tough as they get.. Previous to that he brought the car down to the test and tune – key word being ‘test’, so no crazy wheelstand action in this one but a couple of nice clean passes and a couple of zingers!

Back at the pointy end, the loudest, biggest, quickest, fastest, most powerful and most violent cars on the premises…. If those select few weren’t aren’t impressive enough for you, how about 7 of them equalling in excess of 70,000hp!

If you haven’t ever experienced Top Fuel for yourself in person, there is no way to describe it that will come close to what actually being near them is like. It’s an absolute assault on every single one of your senses, and to watch these cars accelerate from a complete stop to over 500km/h in less than 4 seconds whie pulling over 5G’s doing it – and in most cases side by side all the way to the 1000ft mark… It is absolutely ridiculous to watch, to the point that your brain struggles to process how that is even physically possible, but it is, and the maniacs who voluntarily jump behind the wheel of these things love it! It’s pure insanity, but we will never get sick of being around them or watching it.

Purely looking at the crowd these Fuellers draw, be it in the stands or in the pits when they fire up after disassembling and reassembling the entire engine after every single pass – there’s no denying that people are in awe and that this is the pinnacle of the sport we live and breathe being Drag Racing.

We hope you enjoy this one, what an absolutely phenomenal acheivement by our local team and close friends in the Putland’s – absolutely inspiring effort from the entire team to campaign a car that was right there with the teams from the East that have been doing this for a very long time now. Can’t wait to watch the Putland’s progress in the Top Fuel Championship this year and we are genuinely proud of all they have acheived to date…. anything from here on out is an absolute bonus!
