beamed to the World via the internet.
For the first time ever drag racing fans from all over the world will be able to tune in and experience blow-by-blow accounts of all the quarter mile duels being played out in Queensland, during the country’s longest running drag racing event. Willowbank Raceway’s expert commentary team will keep fans posted on the latest  goings on on-track and around the pits as this newest
technology looks to fully complement the existing log book of online
results.
“This fantastic system has been set up by Ipswich electronics engineer, Steve Hellyer from SpeedFM and is set to add a whole new dimension to Willowbank Raceway activities,” said Willowbank Raceway General Manager Steve Bettes. “We have been working on this program for some time now and are excited to be able to bring it all together and provide fans from all parts of the globe an even greater insight into our great sport. “To gain access to SpeedFM fans will simply need to follow the link direct from the Willowbank Raceway home page, create a login and get set to hear the best drag racing action from the 42nd Australia Nationals this weekend. “Accessibility is the key thing with this custom made system suiting all PC’s with the only other requirement an internet connection to ensure your dose of adrenaline charged, Willowbank Raceway action.” Action off the track will also be provided in a plentiful supply during the course of the Australian Nationals with two National sporting celebrities attending Saturday in support of the Stuart Bishop Racing Top Doorslammer team. Adding to the spectacle of another home-track assault of the SBR team, they’ll also be hosting two of Stuart’s biggest supporters, Luke Power and Jonathan Brown of the Brisbane Lions. Both AFL players have been following Bishop’s progress in Top Doorslammer with added interest and have made the Australian Nationals a must on their off-season social itinerary.
