Southern Hemisphere Pro Stock car and Pro Stock motorcycle scene update….
As Australia’s 2026 NDRC championship chase hits the pointy end across September and October, this weekend’s Pro Stock Nationals at Willowbank Raceway (September 11-12) looms as a critical event for both Pro Stock and Pro Stock Bike.

With only the Haltech East Coast Nationals (September 26-28 for Pro Stock) and the All Bike Nationals (October 10 for Pro Stock Bike) to follow before the SPRY Spring Nationals NDRC Grand Final on October 22-24, the window for contenders in these brackets to make a move, consolidate a lead, or recover from a tough outing is rapidly narrowing.

In Pro Stock, Mopar-brand racer, Queensland’s Omar Sedmak (above photo) takes a slender 34-point championship lead to Willowbank, with Victorian Robert Dekert just two points behind on 32. Behind them, Darryl Stephen and Aaron Tremayne sit on 24, while Tyronne Tremayne remains close on 22, ensuring the class is tightly packed as the season heads deeper into its deciding stretch.

The pressure is just as intense in Pro Stock Bike, where Victorian rider Callam Godeassi leads on 36 points, just two clear of fellow Victorian Paul Andrews on 34, while West Australian Ryan Learmonth remains well within striking distance on 30.

“The Pro Stock Nationals is set to be intense,” NDRC Co-Founder, Andy Lopez, said. “The championship pressure is rising to a boil, but there is still time for one standout performance to change everything.The points standings are crazy close, and every racer out there is going to be doing all they can to make a difference. It is a case of make or break for many of our racers, and for the fans, this makes for one hell of a compelling event!”
