Welcome to shiredragracing.com.au. Both Tim Nielsen and
Jim Denaro started Drag Racing back in the early 90's
back at Eastern Creek Raceway, they both started out
with daily driven street cars; with Jim running a TC
Cortina and Tim driving a HQ 2 Door Monaro. Back in 1996
Tim decided to step out of his Monaro and had a Rear
Engine dragster built for him. At the end of 1997 with
the dragster only running a few race meetings in Sydney,
Eastern Creek Raceway stopped running Competition
racing, but the bug had hit and hit hard. Before ECR
shut its doors Jim had purchased an unfinished project
car.

A TD Cortina in which it had
a rear clip and a mild steel 6 point cage, this project
car took almost 12 years to complete, with all the work
being completed by Jim himself.
When Sydney finally got a new
track up and runnng back in 2004, seven years had passed
with very little being done on the project Cortina. In
those seven years, both Tim and Jim had travelled up and
down the East Coast of Australia racing there respective
vehicles.
In 2007 Tim had decided that
it was time to up-grade his mild steel chassis so
together Jim (DENARO Competition Chassis) and Tim pieced
together a brand new Chromoly dragster. It hit the track
10 months after it was started. With the dragster being
completed, Jim was about 75% through building his new 2
door TD Cortina. Jim's car finally hit the track in late
October 2009, and it's a work of Art.
This website will be updated
prior to and after each race meeting. Event information
will be posted when either racer is running. Our
Multimedia page will have photos from each and every
event, with all action photos being supplied by Lee
Davis of Western Auto Pics. |
