Hidden Valley Drag Racing Association is excited to announce the return of 10,000 horsepower, 500kmh nitro dragsters to Darwin on July 8 and 9, 2016.

The action packed event Nitro Up North returns to the top end to rumble the valley with Top Fuel dragsters, Top Doorslammers and Top Fuel Motorcycles plus the first ever running of the Summit Sportsman Series in Darwin.

2016 ANDRA Top Fuel championship winners Rapisarda Autosport International will be returning to Hidden Valley alongside Mark Sheehan's Nitro Madman dragster - these are the two quickest teams in Australia and they are looking forward to smashing the track records with their nitro-fuelled race cars!

Top Fuel dragsters are the world's fastest accelerating vehicles, with over 10,000 horsepower on demand from their eight litre, V8 engines. With over 5G of acceleration these land locked missiles will be aiming to cover the quarter mile in just 4.5 seconds at well over 500kmh. Come to Hidden Valley on July 8 and 9 and feel the thunder in person - these cars literally shake the ground when they launch!

The heroes of Top Doorslammer will be back on track, including nine times ANDRA champion John Zappia who will look to kick off an unprecedented 10th championship chase in the top end.

And the nitro doesn't stop with Top Fuel cars either, as Top Fuel Motorcycles will also converge on Hidden Valley to commence their national series - nitro Harleys are the wildest thing on two wheels!

Nitro Up North will also include the first running of the Summit Sportsman Series in the top end, attracting the best sportsman teams from around the country to compete for an ANDRA Christmas tree trophy. What does that mean for you as a spectator? Nitro Up North is going to be one of the GREATEST drag racing events ever seen in Australia - let alone Darwin!

The ANDRA Drag Racing Series will be run over a full quarter mile under the standard ANDRA format.

Scrutineering will be via the ANDRA Extended Scrutineering Program and located in Pit Bay 1/2.
