Current Australian Top Fuel Champions, Darren Morgan Racing are heading across to Perth for the first of two ANDRA Pro Series Championship rounds at the Perth Motorplex on December 2-3 with an eye on the double prize.

The multi-million dollar Motorplex has been a happy hunting ground for Team DMR in the past, with The Mildura Missile taking out the Perth event last year – which really set the scene for the Championship that was clinched in qualifying for the season-ending Winternationals.

In the leadup to this event – the team has been fortunate enough to secure associate support from Hertz Car Rentals – and the global company is keen to experience the world’s most explosive form of motorsport.

“We’re really happy to welcome one of the world’s biggest brands on our program in the form of Hertz Car Rentals,” said Morgan.

“They are leaders in their field – as we’ve proven to be in the ANDRA Pro Series.

“We’re working through options to find a new naming rights partner for the remainder of the 2011/2012 season – these events in Perth will be critical in terms of scoring points to the ANDRA Pro Series Top Fuel Championship.”

The entire DMR racing setup will remain in Perth between the December event and the next round of the ANDRA Pro Series Top Fuel Championship, slated for January 27-28.

Morgan has offered the machine to any organisation that is keen to be part of his racing program for static display – and added that he can set aside time to startup the 8,000 horsepower V8 motor as an added bonus.

“Top Fuel’s more than just watching cars on track, it’s a full body experience and we have a unique opportunity that we can take the car to a place of business and start it up,” Morgan explained. “It’s a fantastic promotion to have the car there, let customers sit in it and see what we see – but we see it at 550kph!”

The team has additionally been buoyed by the announcement of a new television package that will see the ANDRA Pro Series on both SBS and SPEED TV Australia.

The package will take the sport to a broader audience, particularly through the SPEED replays, which will air on Friday evenings, as well as ‘on demand’ online content.

“The new television deal is fantastic for the sport,” said Morgan. “We’ll be able to stretch the elastic even further with this new arrangement – particularly with prime time Friday night replays on SPEED and some other innovations the ANDRA broadcast team are working on.

“It will really deliver for our team, our sponsors and importantly, our sport as a whole.”
