Thanks for Pike Murray for allowing eurodragster.com to share this announcement for The 10th Annual Willy's Wars. Pike says:
"From a couple of suggestions from last year, we're going to try something a bit different this year! We'll dial our cars in for each round (can be changed each run).
For all rounds EXCEPT our final round, red lights and breakouts are not important. We will then submit a minimum of three timing tickets (over or under dial) to the Willy's Wars marquee this will then give us a ladder of closest to average dial in for our final round.
For the final round red lights and breakouts DO COUNT!! We'll pair the cars from the bottom of the ladder to the top, so the winner from the last pair to run will give us the Willy's Wars Winner for 2024.
Any cars not wanting to be laddered can run heads up as before.

Anyone who looks askance at unprepped tracks - conveniently forgetting that lot of the sport’s biggest names made those names big by breaking barriers in the days before prepped tracks – couldn’t do much better than to talk to UK Super Pro ET racer Mark Flavell and son Andy who both blasted Melbourne Raceway’s previous track record for piston-engined cars at last weekend’s XHype Northern Nationals.
On Saturday Mark, driving the Steel River Hot Rod Mustang, broke his own previous track record of 5.06/145 with a best of 5.02/154 but it was a four which the team was chasing and Sunday morning history was made and the barrier broken with Mark’s 4.84/155. Mark then handed the keys to second driver and son Andy who after a ranging pass took the Mustang into the fours again with a 4.87/151.
Congratulations to Mark, Andy, Craig Owen and Steve Metcalfe on the new track record, on the fours, and on a fitting tribute to recently-departed team member Mali Rigg.

Tindra Christensen, 20, from Klagstorp outside Trelleborg, is now starting her venture towards drag racing in the Top Methanol class. Tindra most recently comes from the Super Pro ET class in the European Drag Racing Series, EDRS, where she finished fourth last year. With the help of Bryntesson Motorsport, this summer she will take her A2 license during the Meguiar's Drag Festival at Mantorp Park on July 25-28 to be able to drive Top Methanol in the future.
It has always been a dream of mine to drive Top Methanol, says Tindra. I have followed Tony and Jonny Lagg in A-Fuel Team Sweden for a long time. We talked to Tony and he offered to lend me his dragster so I could get my license. I am extremely grateful to have that opportunity.
Tindra has for several seasons competed against, among others, Isak Lagg, whose father Jonny also drives in Top Methanol.
We have gotten to know Tindra and have been able to follow her development, says Tony Bryntesson. Together with Jonny Lagg, we will support Tindra in her ambition to drive Top Methanol and the first step is to line up with a car and team when she gets her license.
Taking the step from Super Pro ET to Top Methanol means going from 800 to 5,000 nitro-fed horsepower and from eight seconds to just over five seconds on the 402 meter long drag – a huge difference!
It will be great fun and it will be something completely different, says Tindra.
Getting a license is the first step, the next is finding a car. Tindra and her team are looking at solutions for the future but this year she will continue to drive the Super Pro ET in selected EDRS events.
It costs a lot and we have to work with our sponsors before Top Methanol becomes a reality, but we have come a long way. This year I continue to focus on Super Pro ET.
This weekend Tindra and her team compete in Super Pro ET when the EDRS series has its season premiere at Vårgårda Raceway.

Team Brothers planning ahead.
A bit of a wet and interrupted start to the 2024 season hasn’t left the Team Brothers quartet downhearted, far from it. With testing opportunities presented by the UK National rounds at Santa Pod Raceway, the Hungaro-Franco-Dutch collective have managed to get some early season running in ahead of the FIM-E Main Event at the end of May.

Sandro Bellio and team want to be back at their former level.
After two consecutive FIA European Top Methanol Championship titles, Sandro Bellio lost the number one plate last year to Linn Fløysvik. Due to all sorts of mysterious problems, the for many years so dominant driver of the family run Danny’s Racing Team Chevy Monte Carlo didn’t even win a race. Now that the problem seems to be solved, the Bellios hope to be back at their former level, which means winning rounds and races, low ETs and high end speeds.

Many thanks to Nick Brooke-Langham from The Gasser Circus for sending eurodragster.com this report of Round 1 of the Gasser Circus Showdown at the Nostalgia Nationals, Santa Pod Raceway on 4th-6th May.
On the run upto Round 1 of the Gasser Circus Showdown at the Nostalgia Nationals, the weather and previous race weekends at the Pod may have worried a few people, but not in the ranks of the Gasser Circus. The entry list bore testament to that with 20 Gassers entered.
Qualifying was going to be over two days, with Saturday and Sunday hosting these. But as it turned out Round 1 of Eliminations kicked off on Sunday evening due to the forecasts for the bank Holiday Monday.
Getting back to Saturday and the field was already down to 19 as Graham Barton had recently undergone surgery and was not able to race. But being a racer he had lined up a reserve driver in the form of John Hill. However, the seat fitting in his High Anxiety Devon had not gone well as John is a different size to Graham and with part of the roll cage preventing the seat being moved rearward, it was not safe for John to drive. The team still turned up to support the other racers and talked of their plans to redo their roll cage before Round 2.
The field soon dropped to 18 as on a qualifying run Christian Wilson driving Bad Blood for the first time, suffered a mechanical failure at the top end, resulting in the car being winched onto their trailer.
Ray Turner driving his Green Onions 55 Chevy reached a milestone in ownership, as he celebrated owning and driving the car for the past 40 years. Yes Ray is someone who likes to get his money worth and he is certainly achieving that, congratulations Ray on two counts the length of ownership and being the number 1 qualifier at the end of not only Saturday but also Sunday as the class went into eliminations. Ironically Ray running a 10.85 on his first run Saturday on a 10.85 dial in!
Sunday Night Showdown at Gasser Circus
Round 1 of Eliminations
On Sunday night within the Gasser Circus, instead of relaxing, it was time for Round 1 of Eliminations due to the weather forecast for Monday afternoon. Some exciting matchups took place, including battles between the 55’s and Falcons. Ray Turner drove his Green Onions 55 to victory over the Not So Mellow Yellow 55 Chevy of Adam Kruczynski with a time of 10.97 to 11.57. In the battle of the Falcons, Jason Hollamby defeated Pat Hobbs with both drivers just 2 hundredths off their dial-ins. Jason's 04 reaction time to Pat's 06 was the deciding factor.
Other cars that advanced included Chris Layram in his Pop ‘Outa Gas’ beating Andy Cobb in his wheelying Model A. Andy was just pleased to be in the show as he was first Alternate, and with Harvey Turner unable to make the call, Adam slotted in.
Billy Jones in his ‘Grumpy Grizz’ Willys defeated Brian Gibson racing his Identity Crisis Dodge Dart, and Nick Hewison in his ‘Short Fuse’ Fordson taking down John Gibson in his ‘High Roller’ Chevy. Despite this, it was a sense of achievement for John and the crew as they had spent a good part of Saturday seeking a cure to a fuelling issue. They found it, but it was not enough to beat the hard charging Billy.
Sam Glenn raced the families Glen & Glen Austin Pickup, which had a new orange paint scheme with battle scars from a previous test day. Despite both Sam and his opponent Steve Mathews in his Honky Tonkin 57 Chevy breaking out, Sam advanced by breaking out by the least amount.
The ‘Traitor’ Ford Pop of yours truly faced off against Simon Prest piloting his ‘Rocket’, with Simon running perfectly to his dial-in with an 11:00 to my losing 11:64 on an 11.60. The ‘Roarin Rat’ 57 Chevy made a comeback with Keith Bartlett behind the wheel, but Sean Milsom in ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’ edged out the win with a 10:23 to a losing 10:62, the 0.08 reaction time from Sean sealing the win.
Quarter Finals
The battle of the Pops began the proceedings, and it was an exhilarating contest with side by side race, but Chris Layram came out on top against Nick Hewison by a very close margin of 3 hundredths of a second. Ray Turner's Green Onions' 55 Chevy was beaten by Jason Hollamby in the 'Jumpin Jalapeno' Falcon in a double breakout situation. Good friends came to the line next and Sean Milsom defeated Simon Prest with Simon breaking out. Sam Glenn took the win over Billy Jones Willys with a time of 10:51 to Billy's 10:57.
Semi-Finals
In the semi-finals, Sean Milsom in 'Aint Misbehavin' Morris van faced off against Chris Layram in his 'Outa Gas' Pop. Sean had dialled 10.07 and Chris 10.22, when the tree activated Sean reacted quicker which setup his holeshot win with a time of 10:13 at 124 mph.
On the other side of the semi-finals, Jason Hollamby in his Ford Falcon raced against Sam Glenn in the father and son Austin Pickup. The pickup looking resplendent in its new Hugger Orange paint scheme all topped off so brilliantly with Neil Melliard signwriting. Despite the glow coming from the other lane Jason was not going to be put off, and as the tree activated we had a race on our hands, but Sam stumbled off the line and Jason was off, and has he crossed the finish line, the win light went on in Sam’s lane as Jason broke out with a 10.74 on a 10.75 dial in! The Glen family breathed a sigh of relief.
Final
In the final round, Sam Glenn was set to meet Sean Milsom. However, as Sean pulled round and prepared to burnout there was frantic activity taking place in the pairing lanes as the pickup of Sam & Simon Glen refused to join in and would not start. Sean was left to race on his own and gave it his all in a solo run, showcasing the potential and performance of the diminutive van for the spectators and fellow racers.
All that was left to do then was for fellow racers and crew to push the Austin Pickup back to the Pits and hand out the awesome Neil Melliard trophy to the winner along with the winnings also awarded by Neil, the number 1 Qualifier winnings donated by Rocket Racing Team were given to Ray ’Anniversary’ Turner. The Quickest reaction time trophy from the NSRA going to Jason Hollamby with a 0.0091.
The Gasser Circus would like to also acknowledge and say thank you to Serck Services, Tom Margesson, Williams Brothers Racing and the crew at Santa Pod.

Thanks to Remco Scheelings from Drag Racing Europe has sent eurodragster.com this article on Andres Arnover,
Without a doubt, Andres Arnover is the Pro Mod driver with the most runs to his credit so far this season when the FIA European Drag Racing Championship kicks off with The Main Event at Santa Pod Raceway. And next to the most runs, the driver from Estonia also recorded the fastest and quickest runs so far and was consistent as well. After two consecutive number three positions in the FIA European Pro Modified Championship, there is more to come.
After several seasons with great results and records with his blue Ford Mustang in Competition Eliminator, Andres Arnover made his Pro Modified debut in 2021 with his current Fast Ford Racing Team red Turbo ’67 Ford Mustang GT500. The car was built by Jerry Bickel in 2019 for Rickie Smith, but as the American Pro Mod legend was not a fan of a turbo set-up, it was sold to another driver before Arnover got the chance to purchase the red rocket.
Arnover impressed the last couple of seasons with great ETs and high speeds. His personal bests at the end of last season, 5.863 seconds and 251.34 mph, are a testimony of that. Lack of consistency was the only reason that the driver from Estonia was not able to go for a higher position in the championship.
This season, things might be completely different. After visiting Andreas Arthursson’s workshop in Sweden, the Fast Ford Racing Team travelled to England for a test weekend at Santa Pod Raceway. Arnover immediately reset his personal best to 5.82 seconds at only 215 mph. One week later Arnover impressed once again with a string of low 5.8-second runs, proving to be fast and consistent as well. With 252.41 mph he also reset his personal speed record. If he can keep this momentum going, Arnover will be a force to be reckoned with in the 2024 FIA European Pro Modified Championship.
And once again, hard work and dedication are the main reasons for these improvements. “We have new rear shocks and that makes a huge difference in consistency”, Arnover started. “And we have a new converter set-up. The engine is the same as last year, but with many new parts inside. Last year we made good runs, but without knowing why, we also had all kinds of problems and no traction at the same day a few hours later.
For this season we were looking for a much wider tuning window so we could be far more consistent.
That’s why we have been testing at Santa Pod for two weekends and will also make runs at The Doorslammers and maybe the test day before The Main Event. And so far, I think we have been working in the right direction with so many 5.8-second runs and new personal bests. To prevent problems due to small issues, like we had last year at one race, we check every part of the car after a run and replace parts way before we think it might cause problems."
The tuning of the Turbo Mustang will once again be in the hands of Andreas Arthursson, but also his own team and team member Janis Piiritalo. “Consistency is the most important to win the championship. David Vegter is one of our main competitors, but there are several others who can suddenly be quicker and faster than before, like Stian Rusånes with his new engine combination.
Our goal is to do the whole championship, go faster and quicker and be consistent. We made big steps so far. On our last two runs at The Festival of Power we tried to run our first 5.7 seconds, but that was a bit too much, we suffered tyre shake and lost traction. But for sure, a 5.7 is one of our goals. When the driver doesn’t do stupid things, anything is possible with his car and combination.”
The Doorslammers is the next outing for Arnover before serious business starts one week later with round one of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship, The Main Event at Santa Pod Raceway.

Santa Pod Raceway has annouced this release from the 10th May, Doorslammers, Santa Pod Raceway which will take place 17th-19th May.
To those in the know, the penultimate weekend of May means one thing: high-powered saloon car drag racing for a record prize fund bringing racers from across the continent to Santa Pod.
£100,000 is the total bounty up for grabs at Doorslammers, the annual shoot-out exclusively for cars with doors.
The Doorslammers directive is simple: cars must be full-bodied with slammable doors. That’s about it for the rulebook, particularly in the VP Racing Fuels Pro Doorslammer class. ‘Run what ya brung… and hope ya brung enough’ is the guiding principle. Current Pro Mod stars duel head-to-head with ‘outlaw’ exiles from the former no-holds-barred Nordic Top Doorslammer scene and indeed with anyone else figuring their motors pack enough muscle to challenge for the top prize. There is no qualifying ladder. Pairings are drawn randomly before each round, adding spice and unpredictability to the already fevered match-race atmosphere.
Besides the Pro heavy hitters, seven other vehicle classes include front-wheel drive, Wössner Pistons-backed four-cylinder machines, Tom Wrigley Performance six-cylinder machines, Turbosmart Pro Street cars, True Street cars, Jeff Bull Racing Engines 7.60 heads-up racers and Williams Brothers-sponsored daily bracket competitions. The ever-expanding entry list currently boasts 222 entries from 17 countries. Along with various northern Europeans, the huge prize pot always lures a strong contingent from Poland, joined by contestants from countries ranging from the Baltic states to Portugal, Malta and Bulgaria. There is even a South African entry.
Doorslammers details are available on the Santa Pod Raceway website or by clicking here. Tickets can be booked online by this link or by telephoning 01234 782828.

Eurodragster.com long time supporter and sponsor Jon Webster reports: When the ‘Festival of Power ‘ was rescheduled it gave us a few extra weeks to finish up the winter refresh, having said that it still went down to the wire. The reschedule of the event also meant the team struggled to get together for the test day and Friday qualifying due to work commitments.
So the plan for Friday was to carry out final set up and commissioning and first fire up, unfortunately this extended into Saturday. No oil pressure due to a stuck regulator valve, and malfunctioning solid state relay took a while to figure out, but the big head ache was keeping the motor running for more than a few seconds.
The motor would fire and run fine then cut out, no diagnostic faults were apparent, outputs checked out and all were functional, injectors having been serviced were removed and checked.
Everything pointed to fuel, as we could keep it running artificially by feeding fuel in the throttle body or by running the primer pump.

William Bros. Racing have annouced the new look Williams Bros Speed Shop here at their Northamptonshire facility. With every part of the business seeing extended growth the decision to extend the Speedshop facility made perfect sense. There is still plenty to do especially with many new brands being added to our already impressive list of genuine USA based suppliers and look out for some big news in the next few months.
Our turn round times are now even quicker as we now have 2 air freight deliveries from the USA per week. This has been enabled by having a consolidation facility allowing freight goods to the U.K. by either air or by container load by sea.
The Williams Bros Speedshop will be open to anyone that wants to stop by, our opening hours are 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday, we will also be open on some Saturday's that don’t clash with the racing events at Santa Pod Raceway but best to contact first to check.
Talking of announcements, William Bros. Racing are delighted to let everyone know that Jamie Reeves has joined Williams Bros Racing. His wealth of experience in the American Car and Hot Rodding scene is exemplary and will certainly benefit every customer. Jamie will be overseeing many aspects of the business and will be a huge part of the current and future expansion.
Plans for the next few months are to continue to work with current and new suppliers to source genuine parts and to hold even more stock available ‘off the shelf’. Also starting to prepare for the second ‘Open Day’ event, cannot believe it was 6 years ago since the first one. Fair to say things have certainly changed a lot since then, more details in due course but it will be a day not to be missed.
You can reach William Bros. Racing by phone on 01327-220777 or 07572-096920, message us through our Facebook pages or email at [email protected]

Our article on Jack Spider-man Taylor has drawn another racer who has constructed a Junior Slingshot dragster. Step forward Andy Gosling following an appeal by Dave Nelson who recalls such a car being around at the track a number of years before.
Andy said "I built it for my kids, and named it Ram Raider Jr., there was no way I could build one with the engine in the wrong end! At the time I never claimed it to be the first Jr slingshot but we never found another to race. My boys Ben and James Gosling both raced the car at Shakey for three or four years.
"It was outside the Junior Dragster rules, despite being built to all the regulations regarding tubing and safety stuff, but luckily Shakey agreed we could run it as long as I didn’t put a Hyabusa engine in it!
"We ran it for 3 years probably, until the kids grew out of it, first with a 125 two stroke that never really ran right then with a 250 four stroke."
Adam Harrison added "I own this now, was in the process of installing a Suzuki motorcycle engine into it but I don't have the time to finish it so I will be selling it as an unfinished project."

Thanks to Andrew Clifford for his notes on the Festival of Power, Andrew says:
Last Wednesday it looked like we would have to drop out of the FoP (at the last minute) for the third year in a row.
However, thanks to my son's boss we were able to borrow a trailer to get the car to the pod on Thursday morning. Turns out the car enjoyed getting off the borrowed trailer so much it went straight out and ran a PB 8.60 on Friday! We then had our most successful qualifying session ever finishing up in 3rd with our 8.94.
It was a great shame not to have the opportunity to try and make it through round one on Sunday but glad to finally get home and warm up. We still have things drying out today. Gutted for everyone affected by the weather but we are an amazing community and I know many of us will be back stronger at the Main Event next month.
Thanks to all at the Pod for never quitting and shout out to my amazing family/crew: Dad, James and my wife Rach. Thanks mum for supporting via the livestream!
Finally, a massive thank you to Kevin Parsons of Parsons Metal Recycling, Walton-on-Thames for the loan of the trailer (it's already reserved for Main Event). There are some genuinely nice people around and Kevin is one of them.
Joakim Tarnstrom Press Officer Bryntesson Motorsport has announced this latest news from Sweden: A-Fuel Team Sweden is aiming for a full European Championship season in Top Methanol!
Just like last year, Bryntesson Motorsport and Jonny Lagg Racing are competing under a common flag as A-Fuel Team Sweden in the European Dragracing Championship and the Top Methanol class. Both teams have their sights set high for this year's season, which begins at Santa Pod in England on May 24-27.
"We took big steps in our development last year and this year we are ready to take the next step to fight for the European Championship title”, says Tony Bryntesson. "It is a great advantage for us that we can do it in cooperation with Jonny Lagg and his team.
In drag racing, shared experiences are double experiences. With few racing opportunities, it is important to be able to share experiences with each other in order to get all the five thousand horses down the strip. Both teams have plenty of skills to bring to the table. Several of Tony's team members, such as Christer Runald, Bosse Davidsson and Lasse Theander, were already involved in the Top Fuel era in the 90s and helped Tony to great success. Jonny has drag racing legend Krister Johansson and Lars Lindkvist and others in the crew.
"There is plenty of expertise in both teams," says Jonny Lagg. “Dragracing is a team sport, more than any other branch of motorsport, and much of the result is already decided in the pit.
Jonny Lagg comes into this season after a long winter rebuilding his dragster after the engine explosion that occurred at Mantorp Park last year. Drag racing fans stepped up and helped getting Jonny Lagg on the track again with the help of a fundraiser - Powered by Fans.
"It's amazing how much support we've had from all the dragracing fans," says Jonny. "We will try to repay it with good results, and we have everything needed to do so.
The premiere will take place at Santa Pod in England where Bryntesson Motorsport ended the season with its best ever record of 5.29 seconds, the third fastest by a Swede of all time, and Tony is looking forward to coming back.
"It will be extra fun coming back to Santa Pod because we did so well there in the final last year. If we can repeat that and keep a consistent level throughout the season, we should be able to fight at the top of the championship.”
The first chance to see A-Fuel Team Sweden in action at home will be at Tierp Arena where the second European Championship event of the year is run on June 13-16.
Happy Birthday for today to Wild Bunch racer Bradley Cooper, Outlaw Flat Four racer Jack Marriage and Comp Bike racer Michael Gooding We hope you all have a great day!
