If so, the Grudge Class at the Mackenzie's Motor Trimming Compak Attak, Round 3 of the Toyo Tires Sport Compact Group Drag Racing Series is for you.

"There seems to be a large number of people that race at Test & Tune events, but don't race at Competition events so we decided to combine them both and have a Grudge Class" comments Ray Box of the Sport Compact Group.

"We'd like to invite the regulator Test & Tune Sport Compact racers to come along and do a few laps at the Mackenzie's Motor Trimming Compak Attak and at the same time see what a Competition meet is all about. We get the Grudge Class out for as many laps as we can with the Competition Class" said Box.

So if you are 1st timer or a regulator Test & Tune racer why not get along on May 18th and support the Toyo Tires Sport Compact Drag Racing Series. All you need is a 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder OHC or rotary powered vehicle along with the normal safety equipment.

PAC PERFORMANCE PACK MORE MUSCLE WITH NEW CAR

Australia's most successful Sport Compact Drag Racing team, Pac Performance has taken delivery of one of the world's most advanced drag racing chassis to help the team continue their reign at the top.

The PAC MX 6 has been one of the most iconic Sport Compact cars in Australian Drag Racing history and after six years of competitive racing, the MX6 will be retired in favour of the new Mazda 6.

Team Principal, Rocky Rehayem explained, "With the influx of imported US built chassis, we needed to purchase a car that could compete on a level playing field with the rest."

The new chassis will certainly be up to the task with the new car coming from the RJ Race Cars factory.

"The chassis is the factory MOPAR car driven by Allen Johnson last year, so it certainly has the credentials. AJ and his team have been extremely helpful in the purchase process and we are very happy with our new toy," said the obviously excited Sydney-sider.

The new chassis is now in the process of being re-bodied as a Mazda 6 for use in Australian Sport Compact competition. "With talks of a possible premier Sport Compact class, in the future, we need to be ready if it is to happen, "we don't want to play catch up," said Rocky.

Although Pac Performance is the only Sport Compact team to win in the tough Group 2 Competition area, they plan on taking their performance to an even higher level. "There has been a lot of R&D and data taken over the past six years with the MX6 and we feel that it has helped us achieve so much to this stage. But the new car has run as fast as 6.5-seconds in the US and we are looking for those sorts of numbers in the long term," Rehayem said with a smile.

But that's not to say the team is finished with the MX6, "After numerous Sport Compact Group event wins and records, six back to back national records in PRO RWD, and two ANDRA Championships under its belt, it will always have a special place in the team."

The MX 6 will finish off the current Toyo Tires Sport Compact Group Championship with the backing of Garrett Turbochargers, Castrol EDGE and Turbosmart. Pac will also continue to run the MX6 at selected meetings, with both cars racing side by side, a real possibility.

With the Mazda 6 set for its race debut in the not too distant future, the team says to "Watch this space 'piston boys', we're coming to get you!"
