<\/a><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThat was capped by winning the event final round in an incredibly close race against team-mate Josh Leahy with a margin between the two contenders at the finish line of just .0005 of a second. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The A-Final victory wrapped up a wonderful weekend for the Kiwi who now calls Sydney home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh that\u2019s awesome! This thing was flying,\u201d McMillin said. \u201cWe banged the blower out at three-quarter track and then we were just sitting there. I saw Josh come past and I thought we lost it \u2014 but I thought we\u2019d be on the number with the way it as tracking. We really wanted to get these things side by side, and Josh deserves everything he achieved this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier in the day, Leahy was the first to drop into the threes, recording a 3.931\/519.01kph in his match up against Justin Walshe in round one, making it the second quickest Nitro Funny Car ET in the country behind McMillin\u2019s earlier effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>In the B-Final, last year\u2019s NDRC champion Justin Walshe got to the line first with a 4.904 second run at 254.63kph to Paton\u2019s 4.948 at 254.63kph \u2014 but was disqualified for scraping the wall before the finish line, handing the win to the newcomer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is thus one more race to come on the wrap around 2024\/25 NDRC event calendar for XPRO Nitro Funny Car racers who will do battle in an epic finale at the Nitro Nationals scheduled for Sydney Dragway (August 23).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
