HVDRA News: Territorian takes Pro Stock Motorcycle Victory in Adelaide

In what can only be described as a game changing moment, Darwin Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Scott White scored one of his biggest drag racing career wins at the recent Lady Daly Hotel Springnationals.

The Springnationals featured the fifth round of the ANDRA Pro Stock Motorcycle Championship, and as such all the heavy hitters were in the Adelaide International Raceway pits.

White qualified second and then went on to defeat Glenn Wooster, Maurice Allen and Phil Howard in eliminations to earn his second ANDRA Pro Stock Motorcycle victory and 107 valuable points.

“I’m very, very pleased with the results,” said White.

"I knew a win was coming and felt confident that this could be the weekend. However it didn’t really start off on the right foot. On my first Friday qualifier, the AMPAC Suzuki spun the rear tyre hard on the launch, turned left and pointed me towards the concrete wall.

“We knew we were making good horsepower but were unable to get in another run that night as the track was deemed unsafe because of the dewy conditions.

“On Saturday my first full run down the Adelaide quarter-mile was a 7.328 ET at 174 mph, which is a new personal best for me. What a confidence booster that was!

“Then in round two of eliminations I defeated Maurice Allen for the first time in my Pro Stock Motorcycle career. That was a huge race. We both went Pro Stock for the first time back in 1991 and I’ve never defeated him
