New in the Class
FIA Top Fuel Dragster -
Duncun Micallef
Malta's Duncun Micallef is to drive in Top Fuel Dragster this season. Duncun will be licencing in one of Rune Fjeld's Top Fuellers at the Autotrader Easter Thunderball at Santa Pod Raceway in April and the plan is then to contest the class at June's FIA Main Event.  
Duncun has raced for the last five years in cars running under the Telephone Box name. He started his career in a T-Bucket and most recently drove a Top Methanol Dragster in which he recorded a Personal Best of 5.83 seconds at Hal Far Raceway's final event last season.
"Duncun is a very talented and also a quick learner", says Malta Drag Racing Association Secretary Jason Camilleri. "He likes to take things step by step and not to rush into them. He strongly believes that he can do it, and we are willing to help him in any way possible."



Duncun will be driving Rune Fjeld Motorsport's orange and black dragster most recently driven by Finland's Antti Hortto and the UK's Shelley Pearson and Laurie Bamford. The crew will be the same which supported Antti but the plan is to introduce some Maltese team members also.
"Duncun would like to thank Rune for giving him the chance to run his car", adds Jason.
