The two-wheeled stars of the ANDRA Regional Sportsman Championship are counting down the days until next week’s DRAG All Bike Nationals presented by Harley Davidson at Dragway at The Bend, which for the first time is a points-paying round for the ANDRA Series’ New Gen Business Park Junior Drag Bike, Ballistic Performance Parts Modified Bike), and New Gen Business Park Competition Bike racers.
Entries close at 11.59pm on Sunday 2 November for this popular event, which as well as racing for the ANDRA Series championship brackets will also feature competition for Top Fuel Motorcycle (invitational), Pro Stock Motorcycle, Street Registered Bike, Street Registered Harley and Extreme Motorcycle, Grudge Harley, and Scooter Drags racers.
In the Ballistic Parts Modified Bike ranks, defending champion Dean Jamieson and current title leader Bryan Finn are two racers who are looking forward to the event.
After taking victory at both Nitro Up North and the Desert Nationals earlier this season, Finn is currently at the top of the points standings for the bracket, just 30 points away from the 300 points cap.
“I am certainly looking forward to the All Bike Nationals coming up at Dragway at The Bend,” said Finn, who thanks ProSmith Overhauling, Deon McHugh Signs, NDMA, and Butlers Mechanical Service for their support of his racing.
“Hopefully I can secure some more points towards my ANDRA Regional Sportsman Championship while also catching up with the rest of the lunatics,” he chuckled, before adding his signature catch-phrase, “party on!”
2024/2025 Champion Dean Jamieson is tied for second on the points with Ian Read and Jason White on 200 points. On a winning streak, Jamieson is feeling confident about advancing his standings next weekend
“I won at the last event held at Tailem Bend, the Spring Nationals earlier this month, and also at the Sunset Nationals at Mildura in September – these were rounds three and four of the ANDRA Series and the only events I have done this season so far in the Series, as I missed the Northern Swing,” Jamieson explained.
“To have that 100 percent win rate so far certainly sees me feeling confident heading into the All Bike Nationals, as does the fact that I really like racing at The Bend and we raced at this event last year and won it as well!
“Really, the last 18 months that I have been racing this bike has been just unbelievable with plenty of wins, hopefully we can keep that going through the rest of the year. I think a lot of it comes down to the hard work done away from the track, I really enjoy a lot of that stuff, going through the data and so on.
“Three wins in a row would be really great and see us go beyond the cap which would relieve some stress for the rest of the season.
“Obviously being the current champion puts somewhat of a target on my back, everyone wants to take me on, but we will just keep doing what we do,” he added, while thanking bracket sponsor Ballistic Performance Parts, personal sponsors Top Shop Casterton and Casterton Motorcycle, as well as his friends and family.
