“The car was good and we come up here
with the attitude - especially with Alice
Springs next weekend and the Northern
Territory Government doing an awesome

“For Lucas Oil and Speedflow and everyone
else that helps us, we didn’t back into this

“Race day today was great. We had a bit of

a bit of a Russian roulette type of deal,
but it played out well and every run was
great.”

Burns (Summit Racing Equipment Junior
Dragster), Grant Radcliffe (Modified), Matt
Lisle (Modified Bike), Kim Fardella (Super

Bryan (Super Street) and Adam Murrihy
(Supercharged Outlaws).
