Membership Enquiry

If you would like to become a member of the Australian Nostalgia Fuel Association (A.N.F.A.) as either a competition car owner-competitor or cackle car participant or as a social member, please e-mail us with your details and we will be in contact with you.

The primary goal of the A.N.F.A. is to have a set of rules and regulations implemented by the racers themselves to have a controlled format of Nostalgia styled racing. While many things have changed over the years, having a controlled environment will make close and affordable racing for the average enthusiast who would like to get involved. As such our rules and regulations have now been adopted by the Australian National Drag Racing Association (A.N.D.R.A.) as the Official Rules of Nostalgia Nitro racing in Australia.

The Rules and Regs can be viewed in their entirety on this web site by clicking on the associated link. The three classes are listed, AA/FD, AA/FC and AA/FA.

The A.N.F.A. also regulates the Cackle Car phenomenon currently gaining momentum here in Australia.

Team Profiles

Peter & Heather Peirano's TIME TRAVELER N/FC

"Heather, look what I found at Bakersfield"

Recently, I traveled to the US along with Greg & Peter Leahy & Jeff Carr and attended the 20th Annual Hot Rod reunion at Bakersfield California. Whilst in Bakersfield, we were fortunate enough to acquire "Time Traveler". This car is the ex Doug Rose, genuine 1970's Nitro Funny Car with a Vega body. Everything on this car, except for the block and body, was all new in 2008.
