While most Australians were enjoying some Boxing Day relaxation, American nitro racer Gary Densham was on a plane - on his
way to Australia for the ENZED International Nightfire New Year Series
this Friday and Saturday, January 2 and 3, at Willowbank Raceway.
Touching down in Brisbane over the weekend, the nitro Funny Car legend
will feature at both of the two rounds of Willowbank Raceway's January
Series, taking on four Australian contenders in a USA vs AUS Nitro
Funny Car showdown.
You would be mistaken however for thinking this was Densham’s first
trip to Australia – in fact it is his eleventh trip Down Under, and a
little known fact about the racer is that he was the first to race on
Queensland’s premier drag racing facility – Willowbank Raceway – albeit
with a twist.
