Multiple Australian Top Fuel Motorcycle champion and national record holder Chris Matheson and his Nitro Voodoo team are aiming to right his wrongs after red lighting at the X Champs in Sydney earlier this month.
“Sh*t happens, but that’s history, we’re all fired up to re-write history at the Winternationals in early June,” he said.
“The whole team has been fired up since Sydney, as we want to keep improving our recovery from last year’s major “off”.
“We are trying some new things in our quest to improve our short times, which have been disappointing.”
Matheson reckons his bike still has plenty of mumbo and the set up has been refined over the last few meetings.
“We are scheduled to run the Winternationals Warm Up this weekend, which will give us more opportunities to refine the set up in readiness for the main event the following weekend,” he said.
“Top Fuel Motorcycle has an oversubscribed field of nine, which will be great. All entrants have a chance in getting the win, as these bikes are temperamental, even sitting in the trailer.”
Matheson will take on a tough field, one of the most dangerous of who will be Mark Drew, who is rumoured to be debuting one of the quickest Nitro Harleys in the world, fresh out of the States.
