Time Lords This page will eventually list barrier busters, or as best we can those drivers & riders recording a new time at Dragway Tasmania In date order. We will need help from racers & fans alike as the list we have is far from complete. If you have a ticket or reasonable proof that you ran a new time for your class of vehicle please email the Webmaster with a copy of the details. Classes include, 4,6,8 Cyl's Blown or unblown, street register and otherwise. Bikes include registered or otherwise, blown unblown and nitro. Dragsters, altereds etc are all catered for so start rummaging through those old time slips and magazines. If there are errors please let us know. To start with we were working from old magazines and the details were sketchy at best. Help us recognise the heroes of days past.  Tasmanian Drag Racing Records Street registered = can be driven on road and will pass transport inspection, should have full interiors etc, change of tyres permitted. Pro street = Cars that have been tubbed or too highly modified to enable open road use but retain rego.   Street registered 4cyl Blown Vehicle Time  Speed  Year Ben Crump 2.0ltr Turbo Nissan Bluebird 13.421 105.19MPH Feb-03 Melvyn Dobson   2.0L Turbo Galant 13.004  170 kph Feb-03 Street registered 6cyl Aspirated   Andrew Kuc 202 Torana 13.97   Feb-84 Brock Jones Cortina  13.6 Nov-93 Rodney Turner 202 Torana 13.5  1995 Grant Dwyer & Eddie 6cyl Centura 12.34  Nov-02 Eddie Kruizenga 6cyl Centura 12.167 111.47 Jan-03 Street registered 6cyl Blown Phil Cardenzana EH 186 turbo 13.024  Nov-84 Phil Howe NOS Hemi Pacer 11.7  1988 Street registered V8 Aspirated Bruce Reynolds  '37 350 chev coupe 14.5 100 1979 Brian Shea XC 351 13.87  Feb-84 Bruce Reynolds '37 427 chev coupe 13.5  105 1984 Jonathon Pinner XW 351 11.7 112 Apr-91 Michael Davis LX Torana 11.01 124 1995 Graham Pettit LJ GTR XU1 10.498 Nov-02 Street registered V8 Blown Fabian Lumplecker HJ308 gassed Ute 11.04   Jan 91 10.95 124mph Mar-92 Simon Mawby Cortina 350 Chev 10.868 Mar-93 Mark Whittler Nitrous Capri 9.75 130  ???
