The Australian National Drag Racing Association (ANDRA) is pleased to release the 2024/2025 season calendar for the recently announced ANDRA Regional Sportsman Championship

The calendar has been worked around existing and proposed National Drag Racing Championship (NDRC) and Track Championship level events, to ensure competitors can compete successfully in all three levels of sportsman racing.
The championship for Sportsman competitors will be held over eight rounds beginning with the Desert Nationals in Alice Springs on August 24-25.
Round two will see the Championship visit Mildura’s Sunset Strip in September for the annual Sunset Nationals across September 21-22.
From Mildura, the Championship will make the trek to Western Australia in November for the Perth Motorplex’s Goldenstates on November 22-23, where Gold ANDRA Christmas Tree Trophies will be on offer.
South Coast Raceway will then host the South Coast Nationals two weeks later across December 7-8, prior to a two month break over the hectic summer period.
The second half of the Championship will kick off with back-to-back events at Dragway at the Bend on February 8-9 and the Twilight Nationals back at Mildura’s Sunset Strip on February 14-15.
The penultimate round of the season will see teams visit Whyalla’s Steel City Raceway on March 15-16, before the Grand Final is hosted at Dragway at The Bend on a to be confirmed date, where Gold ANDRA Christmas Tree Trophies will again be on offer.
“I am really excited about what we have been able to put together for our members with the help of our valued ANDRA member tracks,” ANDRA Chief Executive Officer, Tim McAvaney, said.
“ANDRA prides itself on being a member-based and member-driven organisation and our members have been strong in communicating their desire to compete in an ANDRA Championship.
“Our members and our rich history are the most important assets that we have, and this Championship combines both beautifully!
“ANDRA is working with the NDRC to identify a couple of key events in our series that can double as points rounds for the Aeroflow National Sportsman Championship, encouraging racers from all over Australia to participate in our series and chase national points.
“I look forward to delivering a strong season in conjunction with our ANDRA member tracks, with great member support expected at all rounds.”
Andy Lopez from the NDRC said, “any initiative that delivers rewarding racing for Sportsman racers and sustainable events for tracks around Australia is worthy of support! We hope that including NDRC points at select ANDRA Regional Sportsman Championship events will encourage greater participation from those chasing national recognition, and further support the tracks and racers.”
