In less than four weeks' time, the Garrett Advancing Motion Sydney Jamboree will host what is expected to be a record field at Sydney Dragway on Saturday March 16.

With Australia's best drag racers lining up for the popular automotive lifestyle event which will also boast an exciting new entertainment precinct, the anticipation is already building around the country for the one-day spectacular.

"The growth of not only Jamboree Australia as a whole but the Garrett Advancing Motion Sydney Jamboree in particular over the last two years has just been phenomenal," Jamboree Australia Director, Collin Willshire, said.

"Entries for the event are still open and with a record field of around 200 entries expected I urge anyone interested in securing their place on-track to get in as soon as possible.

"We already have some of Australia's best drag racers lined up for this event and as a result some great match-ups are guaranteed, including 400 Thunder Pro Slammer champion Paul Mouhayet and the well-respected Greg ‘Mauler' Tsakiridis who are already preparing to put on a huge show for the fans.

"Also impressing will be plenty of off track entertainment including the Hi Tec Oils Drift Australia Drift Exhibition which will see some of Australia's leading drifters putting on a remarkable display – fans will even be able to purchase passenger rides with them on the day.

"As the Garrett Sydney Jamboree draws closer, we are certainly looking forward to welcoming race fans, competitors and of course our new and existing event partners to the 2019 Jamboree events – it is sure shaping up to be an amazing year ahead."

While the full complement of on and off-track Garrett Sydney Jamboree action will kick off on Saturday March 16, racers and their fans need not wait until then to get into the Jamboree spirit with an official pre-event test day set to take place on Friday the 15th of March. Already more than 30 entrants have booked their spots with around 40 expected to hit the track.
