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. |
