The Australian National Drag Racing Association, or ANDRA for short, is the primary drag racing sanctioning body in Australia. The organisation was created in 1973 from a more drag racing oriented faction of the Australian Hot Rod Federation. Today the ANDRA sanctions races throughout Australia and throughout the year at all levels, from Top Fuel to Junior Dragster.

Today ANDRA sanctions races throughout Australia and throughout the year at all levels, from Top Fuel to Junior Dragster at regional temporary 1/8 mile tracks to International standard facilities in capital cities and everywhere in between. ANDRA and its members make Drag Racing a family friendly, safe sport. So come along as a spectator or bring your street car to an "Off Street" event and enjoy the excitement that is Australian Drag Racing.

ANDRA is also the lone major professional drag racing organisation to adopt both the 1,320 foot distance for Top Fuel and the three-round drag racing format. In the three-round format, each car makes one qualifying pass, is paired up with another car in one single race. The winners of each race are tabulated by their times, and the third and fourth fastest winners participate in the third-place race, and the two fastest winners participate in the championship race.
