“I’ve been lucky enough to work with or write about most of my interests and I’m very excited to add drag racing to the list, I can’t wait to get started,” he said.

“Working with the media and its various forms whether that be print, online and TV is a passion and the fact that it revolves around this high speed sport is an added bonus.”

Baker grew up in the stands at Adelaide International Raceway and Speedway City and is looking forward to getting to work with drag racing and ANDRA members around the country.

ANDRA CEO Malcolm Bulley said the addition of Tim to head office comes at a time of growth for the organisation with more resources to promote the sport including the new ANDRA trailer providing a mobile presence.

“We’re excited to welcome Tim to the ANDRA team,” he said. “We‘re very confident Tim will continue to build on the foundations Luke has set over the past two years.”

Baker officially joins ANDRA at the Nitro Max Season Opener at Perth Motorplex on January 10.
