About this episode

This episode discusses the recent fuel crisis affecting drag racing in Australia, along with a recap of the Riverbend Nationals.

NDRC — Riverbend Nationals Wrap We break down all the action from the Riverbend Nationals: the standout passes, the teams finding form early, and the storylines that’ll shape the next rounds of the NDRC season. From Top Fuel to Doorslammer, Riverbend delivered plenty to talk about. The Fuel Crisis — What’s Really Going On A straight‑talk segment on the current fuel supply issues affecting racers across Australia. We unpack what’s causing it, who’s feeling it the most, and what it means for teams trying to plan their seasons. No rumours — just the facts and the implications.
