Nitro Funny Car records blitzed

After the running of Nitro Slam last weekend, Hidden Valley Drag representatives spoke to Meeting Director Ray Treasure about the recent success of our Darwin racers Mathew Abel and Nathan Coles in Perth Western Australia.

Nathan Coles set a new Personal Best of 5.66 sec @ 247mph behind the wheel of Rory Taylor’s Thumper Nitro funny car.

Matt Able blitzed the track record in the Nitro Thunder Nostalgia Funny Car with a ET of 5.427 at 428km/h (266.19mph)

Both racers are super excited to see drag racing return to Hidden Valley in 2021 and can’t wait to see Darwin put on a good show.
