Perth Top Fuel final:
Perth Top Fuel final:

The final has been run, and it was Phil Lamattina who took the win with a tough 4.68 second lap against Phil Read's 4.85. It was a great close final race, and for Read, he had an engine problem and was actually in front until Lamattina drove past after his problems, and the big crowd stayed around to witness yet another awesome final between Lamattina and Read, and it was well worth the wait.

It has been a great event, and we look forward to next season when the Top Fuellers return to Perth, and stay tuned to the JRR website for upcoming events.
