Australian Top Doorslammer competitor Maurice 'Fabulous' Fabietti is set to make a return
to competition this Boxing
Day in brand new machinery. Maurice will be once
again supporting the 'lions-den' driving the Holden Genuine Parts-sponsored
Monaro. The Monaro runs a Murray Anderson chassis identical to that used by
fellow competitor Ben Bray.

"The product produced by Murray Anderson is
second to none. For quite some time now Murray has been the leader in
Doorslammer chassis and the future is looking bright for him and his product,"
said Fabietti.

Grudge racing nights are extremely popular in the United States.
Down under at the Western Sydney International Dragway, Full Throttle
Friday nights are extremely popular. 

Since the inception of the Full Throttle Friday night off-street meetings at

Greensboro,
N.C.

Concluding a very successful season, the International Hot Rod Association
(IHRA) honored its drivers Saturday night in Greensboro, N.C., during their
annual awards banquet. IHRA crowned the fifteen professional eMax Nitro Jam™
Drag Racing Series world champions, Mr. Gasket Pro-Am Tour champions, and
recognized several special award winners.

Dale Creasy Jr.,
who won the first IHRA Nitro Funny Car world championship since the sanctioning
body stopped running the class in 1992, accepted his award with thanks to his
crew, family and sponsors. Creasy, Beecher,
Ill., finished the season No. 1 in the point
standings, a mere five points over second-place-finisher Jack Wyatt.

IHRA has announced Summit Racing Equipment as sponsor of the sanctioning body’s
Pro-Am Tour. Mr. Gasket will be the presenting sponsor of the series.

Designed to offer
semi-professional drag racers the opportunity to chase a championship without
extended travel, the Summit Racing Equipment Pro-Am Tour presented by Mr. Gasket
consists of races held in various regions throughout the country. Drivers earn
points towards Pro-Am championships, as well as IHRA eMax Drag Racing Series
championships.
