Mark Sheehan nitro funny car licensing explosion 12.03.2008 Mark Sheehan and his team were out trying to get the final stages of their nitro funny car licensing completed today at the Perth Motorplex. On the first pass for the day, the car smoked the tyres almost instantly, then some fine adjustments were made to try and cater for the hot conditions for the second pass. The car looked to be on a great run this time around getting to the 60' with a .972 short time, followed by a lift before the 330' in 2.59, but when Sheehan had a pedal and got back onto it, then KABOOM! The Mustang body totally blew off the chassis and into the air and lifted the back end of car at least a metre off the ground before a second bounce lifted it up and away again. Then with some great steering, Sheehan managed to tame his ride back to earth, and thankfully escaped the terrifying incident unharmed. We wish Sheehan and his team all the best for their next nitro outing. Tags: Mark Sheehan nitro funny car licensing explosion 12.03.2008 perth motorplex |

Martin Stamatis' top fueller 4.577@329.10 mph in-car video Martin Stamatis and his Read racing top fuel dragster team ran their personal best time at Western Sydney International Dragway (WSID) recently at the 2008 Summernationals held over February 15 and 16. After qualifying third in the strong ten-car field with a 4.616@312.86 mph (503 kmh), Stamatis knocked out Terry Sainty in the first round with a 5.00, which left him up against Darren Morgan for the second round. With a feeling of déjà vu after having Morgan knock him out in the second round held in Perth just two weeks prior, the team were pumped to try and level the score, and with conditions perfect for drag racing, it was Stamatis this time who won with a fabulous 4.577@329.10 mph (529 kmh) blast, which was also low ET and top speed for the event. The run cemented Stamatis a final round appearance, and the team tried to back up their awesome 4.57 run for a new national record in the final, however the blower belt unfortunately came off on their last pass, but their 4.80 was still good enough to win the event. After running the 4.57, Stamatis commented in a post run interview that at half track, he was wondering what on earth "Cav" (Robert Cavagnino, his Crew Chief) was doing to him as the car hauled its way to nearly 530 kmh! Well done to the entire Stamatis team, to Read racing for providing a great car, and to WSID for yet another great memorable pass in Australian drag racing history.

Top fuel round Perth Motorplex February 1 and 2 The Perth Motorplex held its annual top fuel round over the weekend of February 1 and 2, 2008. Four cars turned up for the event including current top fuel champion Phil Read, his team mate and local West Australian Martin Stamatis, Phil Lamattina in his new dragster and Darren Morgan. The strong field ran great times all weekend, and it was Lamattina who won the event in the end with his final round 4.65 (but video of this run was missed...sorry). Martin Stamatis was also kind enough to allow the writer access into his team for the weekend to collect some additional exclusive in-car footage, which is also included with this youtube feature video. The top fuel teams would like to thank the Perth Motorplex, their crews, fans, families and sponsors who make it all possible to go racing including Auto One, Fastlane Software, Fuchs Lubricants, Wicked Quick, Snap On, Wynns, Rocky Lamattina and Sons, Hi Tech Oils and Pavtec.

Martin Stamatis Top Fuel engine blow-up incar cam 01.02.2008 Youtube feature video - Martin Stamatis Top Fuel engine blow-up 01.02.2008, in car camera footage. This is what is was like for Martin Stamatis on Friday night qualifying in Top Fuel at the Perth Motorplex Stamatis was on a flying number when the engine blew up creating a spectacular fire ball. So keep an eye out on Channel 9 for the Speed Machine TV show which shows externally what the incident looked like. The team rebuilt the dragster and burned the midnight oil to make sure the car was fresh and ready for the next day of racing. I think Speed Machine is being shown on Channel 9 this coming Saturday or Sunday, February 9 or 10. Check local guides for details. Tags: Martin Stamatis Top Fuel engine blow-up 01.02.2008 |

Phil Purser's turbocharged VL Calais - 23.12.2007 Phil Purser's awesome "V HELL" 2JZ powered 6-cylinder turbocharged VL Calais was out playing at the December 23 test and tune day at the Perth Motorplex. The car had some wild runs on its way to producing two personal best times for the team recording both 9.11 and 9.13 second times for the quarter mile. Purser would like to thank his crew, fans and supporters, and his sponsors Final Drive Engineering, Fremantle Torque Converters, All Class Rewiring, JB Towing, Turnaround Machining, Intune Performance and Southside Engine Centre. Ed note: When I showed this video to my Wife, she said that it sounds like an aeroplane taking off! I must admit, give the thing a propeller and some wings, and it probably would take off! Great stuff Phil, well done. Tags: Phil Purser's turbocharged VL Calais 23.12.2007 |
