• Four Australian Top Fuel drivers are gunning for the world record currently held by BRITTANY FORCE at 3.623s/343.16mph during this weekend’s Spring Nationals at The Bend. The venue has already proven its speed credentials by hosting multiple Australian record runs, making it prime territory for a serious assault on Force’s benchmark.
• While the spotlight’s on the current chase, let’s not forget that KELLY BETTES remains the only woman to capture an Australian Top Fuel Championship – a feat that happened under the Lamattina Racing banner. Her achievement stands as a reminder that women have been making their mark in this brutal category, even as the current field runs entirely male.
• The four contenders bring serious credentials: Damien Harris holds the current Australian records at 3.683s/333.16mph and is the only driver to break into the 3.6-second zone locally. Wayne Newby leads this season’s standings with a 3.719s best, while the Read family operation and Phil Lamattina’s team both carry impressive pedigrees and sub-3.8 second capabilities into the weekend’s record hunt.
