Title 2009 Fuchs Nationals - finals update - 7.15pm
Description The final of Top Fuel has now been run, and for the JRR team and Martin Stamatis, unfortunately they had to settle for runner-up after Stamatis' parachute came out at half track slowing him to a 4.8 second pass, while the Pom Steve Read deservedly rocketed away on a 4.7 second win.

It was a big weekend for both teams, but more so for Pom Steve Read who at this event last year crashed his dragster after the throttle jammed, and this event was the team's return, so it was a mammoth effort from them to win the event and congrats come from the JRR team for their stellar effort all weekend.

So it's off to Perth now for the next Top Fuel round in December, and stay tuned for updates on our website.

Happy Racing, and signing out now for the final time from Sydney Airport....(and lucky our plane has been delayed now so I can write this report!!)

Phil Blondel, Phil Jackman and Kaye Hall :)
