Truck racing has been around since 1988 in Australia, with the first meeting at Calder Park. The first race had names such as Dick Johnson and Allan Grice on the starting grid. Since then the category has seen many changes.

Originally the trucks were mostly road going rigs fitted with role cages, some bogie drive. This has evolved into purpose built, highly modified race trucks with only the chassis, cabin and engine resembling a road going unit .

A class supertruck. 1200 – 1500 HP automatic
