Cavallo claims Australian drag racing's highest honour, wins John Storm Memorial
Champion Melbourne drag racer Nino Cavallo has been awarded the highest accolade for sportsman racers in Australia.
A three-time winner of the Rocket All Stars Australian Super Stock Championship, Cavallo has been presented the John Storm Memorial Trophy by the Australian National Drag Racing Association (ANDRA).
The trophy which honours Storm, the founding national director of ANDRA, is given to the competitor in the semi-professional Group 2, 3 and 4 categories who scores the highest overall points total from all rounds of the annual Rocket All Stars Australian Drag Racing Series.
Cavallo secured the trophy with his quarterfinal finish at the rain-delayed Castrol EDGE Winternationals, held at Willowbank Raceway, near Brisbane, on 15-17 July.
Veracity Media earns top review for Holden Motorsport website
Holden Motorsport's website, run by Veracity Media, has received a glowing report from respected industry journal Motorsport News. In his regular monthly column, MN columnist and former V8 Supercar team owner Paul Cruikshank reviewed both the Holden Motorsport and Ford Racing sites, saying he was staggered to see the differences between the two. Cruikshank said the Holden Motorsport site offered "all the latest news, all the latest drivers and teams driving Holdens", was "very evenly balanced across all teams competing in the 2011 Championship", and had a "range of news, merchandise and profiles". He finished the Holden Motorsport website review by saying it was a site which Holden would be "proud to be associated with".
