ROUND four of the Australian Pro Street Association series went off at Benaraby Raceway in Queensland yesterday though the weather meant it was touch and go. Steve Kelly was there on the Friday night to capture some of the action during the test and tune. We’ll bring you the event coverage proper soon!

WEB Benaraby 11Steve Bezzina’s XW Falcon packs a 2200hp twin-turbo small-block Ford mill. It has run a best of 7.38-seconds over the quarter on leaf springs and radials. Steve is aiming for the sixes in the blue beast.

WEB Benaraby 14Troy Marshall’s Outlaw Radial LJ is packing some serious firepower in the form of a 383ci small block Chev with a hefty single turbo.

WEB Benaraby 13This blown HK Holden was running low twelves yesterday.

WEB Benaraby 12Dom Luppino is another heavy hitter who travelled from Melbourne to race. Turns out the trip was worth it, with Dom going on to take the win in Outlaw Radial.

WEB Benaraby 10Scott Cortinas HG Holden is an awesome thing to behold. Powered by a nitrous-assisted 565ci big block Chev, it is sitting in second place on the X275 list with a best of 8.53 at 159mph.

WEB Benaraby 9The TDX275 Cortina belongs to Brian Ward and packs a big block with a blow through turbo set up.

WEB Benaraby 8Tony Webb’s LJ runs a 355ci Holden motor instead of the usual LS or small block Chev, with a big single turbo stashed out the back under the car. Webby has just treated the motor to a freshen-up, as well as a new Holley ECU and fuel system. He ran a 9.0 on Friday night on low boost, trying to gather some data and get the car dialled in. It has previously run a best of 8.43 at 165mph.

WEB Benaraby 6James Horan’s Hilux runs a twin turbo Toyota V8 in Outlaw Radial and has recorded a PB of 7.43-seconds at 190mph!

WEB Benaraby 4Danny Lansdowne’s VL wagon runs a Toyota 2JX six and runs in the eight-second zone.

WEB Benaraby 3Dave Rogers brought his awesome street-driven HK Monaro up from Sydney. It runs a Mansweto Racing-tuned 540ci big-blockwith a Glide and nine-inch, and recently cracked its first eight-second pass

WEB Benaraby 2Perry Bullivant made the switch from turbos to nitrous a while ago in his seven-second Outlaw Radial LX Torana hatch.

WEB Benaraby 1Chris Stevermuer’s LJ Torana packs a 598ci big block Chev and has run a best of 8.48-seconds at 158mph in Pro Street Unblown.
