Willowbank Raceway will be full of action tonight and tomorrow for round one of the ENZED International Nightfire New Year Series,
featuring the Nitro Funny Cars USA vs AUS showdown as well as Top
Doorslammer, Top Alcohol and Pro Stock Motorcycle action from the
Australian professional ranks.
With the professional racing action set to kick off from 5.00pm
tonight, US Nitro Funny Car legend Gary Densham was at the track today
with Australian rookie Mark Sheehan, with the pair sounding each other
out before their first runs tonight.
“I have been involved in Nitro Funny Cars since just after they started
back in the 1960s, and this is my 11th trip to Australia with my first
trip at Christmas time of 1974, and I just really love coming back
here,” said Densham.
