Robin Judd is now the outright leader in the 2009/2010 Australian National Drag Racing Association (ANDRA) Pro Series Top Doorslammer Championship after winning the 38th Goldenstates at the Perth Motorplex on November 14.
Judd, a Perth-based Chartered Accountant, has now won back-to-back major national events after winning the Australian Nationals in Sydney in September.
Going into the event, Judd was locked on 165 points after two rounds with archrival John Zappia and buoyed after recording Australia’s quickest-ever Doorslammer pass – 5.822-second – at the Perth Motorplex on October 31.
However, Judd’s desire to win an Australian Top Doorslammer Championship almost came unstuck when he was in danger of missing the Goldenstates’ eight-car field. Judd’s William Buck/K & B Exclusive Studebaker over-powered the track in the first two qualifying sessions, failing to complete the runs, which saw Judd in 12th and last place during the Friday 13 qualifying.
