All Stars Drag & Drive 2026: Records, Road Miles and Real Racers

The 2026 All Stars Drag & Drive delivered everything we love about Australian motorsport: seriously fast cars, long road legs, late-night repairs and a racing community that refuses to let anyone give up.

Held from 10–12 July, the event began at Willowbank Raceway before sending competitors onto the road to Warwick Dragway. The surviving cars then returned to Willowbank for the final day of racing and the crowning of the 2026 champions.

Prime Speedworks was proud to support an event that represents what our business is all about racer's building ambitious combinations, testing their equipment and helping each other get to the finish line.

More Than a Fast Pass

Drag-and-drive racing is very different from a conventional weekend at the track.

The cars need to be quick on the strip, but they must also be capable of travelling between tracks under their own power while carrying the tools, parts and equipment needed to survive the event.

No transporters are waiting around the corner, and no easy reset between rounds. Every pass, road kilometre and mechanical decision matters.

That combination of outright performance and real-world durability is exactly what makes these events so compelling. A car might be capable of running a huge number, but the real achievement is producing that performance repeatedly and still completing the road sections.

Adam Rogash Makes Australian Drag-and-Drive History

The standout performance of the weekend came from Adam Rogash and the MPW Performance team with the incredible STRIPSHOW Ford Capri.

Adam completed the event with a best quarter-mile pass of 6.561 seconds and an official three-day average of 6.764 seconds, placing him at the top of the quarter-mile results and securing the Unlimited class victory.

The result marked the first six-second average recorded in Australian drag and drive competition a massive achievement for Adam, his crew and everyone involved with the Capri.

What made the performance even more impressive was the work required between rounds.

The Capri changes from its twin-turbo, methanol race configuration to a naturally aspirated, pump-fuel setup for the road sections. The team also battled rocker and lifter problems during the event, placing extra pressure on both the crew and their supply of spare parts.

When replacement components became difficult to find, fellow racer Mark Whitla travelled to Warwick with the parts needed to help keep the Capri in competition. It was a perfect example of the drag-and-drive community at work and a reminder that nobody completes an event like this entirely alone.

A Seriously Quick Top Ten

Adam may have led the field, but the rest of the Top Ten showed just how competitive Australian drag-and-drive racing has become.

Brandon Zito’s LC Torana finished with a 7.278-second average, followed by Trent Brimble’s VL Commodore with a 7.398 average. Daniel Smith’s Toyota Celica, Jason Kenny’s VN Commodore and Scott Hoffman’s Toyota Corolla also delivered outstanding performances across the event.

The official Top Ten included a mixture of Fords, Holdens and Toyotas, with every vehicle completing the racing and road requirements needed to remain in contention.

Performance Across Every Class

The event was not only about chasing the outright quickest average.

Competitors battled across a broad range of categories, giving everything from extreme Unlimited builds to index-class street cars an opportunity to compete.

Class winners included:

• Adam Rogash in Unlimited

• Brandon Zito in Forced 28

• Dom Zito in NA 28

• Dan Smith in Forced 235/255

• Kevin Brown in NA 235/255

• Scott Hoffman in Pro Import

• Disco Dean Ferris in Pro 8.50/5.50

• Brad Dilger in Pro 9.50/6.00

• Matt Francis in Pro 10.5/6.50

• Wade Moran in Pro 11.50/7.50

The variety of cars and combinations is one of the biggest strengths of the event. It is not just a showcase for the fastest cars it rewards consistency, preparation, smart decision-making and the determination to keep moving when things do not go according to plan.

Built by Racers, for Racers

Events like All Stars Drag & Drive are important for the Australian performance industry.

They create a genuine proving ground for engines, turbochargers, fuel systems, fasteners, sensors, valvetrain components and every other part that needs to operate under demanding conditions.

They also give racers, workshops, manufacturers and suppliers an opportunity to learn from each other. The lessons found while repairing a car beside the highway or preparing for the next pass often become the improvements that make the entire industry stronger.

That is why Prime Speedworks is proud to support grassroots and professional motorsport in Australia.

We are a local Australian performance parts supplier built around one simple idea:

For the Racer.

Supporting the Racers

Prime Speedworks would also like to thank the brands that helped us support the competitors throughout the All Stars Drag & Drive weekend.

A huge thank you goes to our friends at HPT Turbochargers for their support and for donating the custom Top 10 Turbo Trophies presented to the event’s quickest finishers. These trophies were a fitting way to recognise the incredible performances, preparation and determination shown by the fastest cars of the weekend.

We would also like to thank Lowdoller Motorsports, Innovators West and P1 Manufacturing for contributing products to the racer goody bags.

Their generosity allowed us to give something back to the competitors who put their cars, equipment and themselves to the test across three demanding days of racing and road travel.

Prime Speedworks is proud to work with manufacturers that genuinely support racers and understand the effort required to compete at this level.

Thank you to HPT Turbochargers, Lowdoller Motorsports, Innovators West and P1 Manufacturing for getting behind the event and helping us support the people who make Australian drag-and-drive racing possible.

Congratulations to the All Stars Drag & Drive organisers, officials, volunteers, track teams, sponsors, crews and competitors for delivering a huge 2026 event.

A special congratulations goes to Adam Rogash and the MPW Performance team for making Australian drag-and-drive history.

Records were broken, parts were tested, and the racing community once again proved that getting to the finish line is just as important as getting there quickly.

We are already looking forward to the next one.
