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

The Sandman AA/FD

I originally built this car with Lez Herst back in New Zealand in 1999. Back then it was powered by an Iron 392 Hemi fitted with 8/71 blower, power glide and a '32 Tudor Competition Coupe body. We ran a best of 7.8 seconds at 180mph with that combination.

Then came the desire to go faster, so I exchanged the old hemi for an Arias Hemi Chevy, clutch, lenco and removed the Coupe body. Shipped the car to Oz, hooked up with George Bukureshliev and over the next several years we ran the FED to a best of 7.0 at 200 on alcohol.
