The motorsport venue known as Adelaide International Raceway offers multiple layouts, including a 2.410 km full circuit and a 0.25 mi drag strip.[1]
Life and work
After no drag racing since the late 1990s, racing returned in November 2011 with Top Doorslammers running the 1/8th mile track for the first time in over 10 years.[2] A dragnews.com.au article reported that Team Bray spent three days promoting at venues around Adelaide prior to that event.[3] On 13–15 April 2012, top line drag racing returned for the first ANDRA meeting at AIR in over 10 years with the ANDRA Pro Series 1000.[4] That event marked the Australian debut of 1000 ft drag racing for all classes, though ANDRA Top Fuel continued over a quarter-mile distance.[4]
Official race lap records are listed for the long 2.410 km circuit unless otherwise stated.[5] During early 2008, a resurfacing of the entire track occurred, which limited its use but opened the possibility of events later that year.[6] The Australian National Drag Racing Association launched the Australian Drag Racing Championship series in 2021, selecting Adelaide International Raceway as one of five venues for the first season.[7][8] According to the schedule, Adelaide International Raceway was the location for round three on October 16-17, 2021.[8]
