TransLock & ManageMate Team Up WIth A Top Fuel Winner!
TransLock Industries and ManageMate have teamed up with Mark Mariani and the Titan Cranes Sponsored, Rapisarda Racing Top Fuel Drag Racing Team. Mark drove his way to his first ever final round appearance and fist ever win at the 2010 Karcher Nitro Champs held at Sydney Dragway on the 30th of April – 2nd of May.
This is Marks first full season in the penultimate class of motorsport that is Top Fuel and the Rookie has been proving his skills in leaps and bounds. Now that he has achieved his first win and has a handful of 4 second ¼ mile passes under his belt his next goal is to break the 300mph barrier and back up his first event win with another.
Mark says, “Its great to have companies like TransLock and ManageMate offering support to what is the Fastest, Loudest and Most Earth Shaking motor racing category in the entire world and with ANDRA Championship Drag Racing going down in history as the FIRST Motorsport in Australia to go full High Definition in broadcast with One HD what better avenue is there to promote the most innovative and technologically advanced companies like ManageMate & TransLock.”
If you would also like to support Mark Mariani Racing and become an official team sponsor please contact TransLock where we will have the relevant person look after your enquiry.

TOP FUEL FACTS
A Top Fuel Dragster accelerates quicker than any other land vehicle on earth . . . quicker than a jet fighter plane . . . quicker than the space shuttle.
- One dragster’s 500-inch engine delivers more horsepower than the combined horsepower of the first 6 rows on a V8 Supercar grid.
- Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes almost 7 litres of nitro fuel per second, a similar rate of fuel consumption to that of a fully loaded 747 jumbo jet but outputs 4 times the energy.
- To reach speeds of over 300mph (485km/h) in times of 4.5 seconds, the driver experiences a launch acceleration of approximately 6G’s.
- Dragsters reach over 300 miles per hour before you have read this sentence.
- To give you an idea of this acceleration, the current quickest TF dragsters run 4.40 seconds over the quarter mile. This means that you could be coming across the starting line in your average “twin-turbo” Corvette at 200 mph (322km/h)(on a FLYING START) and the dragster would BEAT you to the finish line FROM A DEAD STOP in a quarter mile distance!
