Tom Drane
The up-and-coming Tom Drane is one of the most talented and promising racers to emerge in recent years.
The Australian started racing when he was seven years old and would spend the better part of next decade racking up a bevy of amateur titles, including 17 Australian Dirt Track Championships, 23 State Dirt Track Championships, and three AMA Flat Track Grand Championships.
Drane also established himself as an ace on pavement, contesting the Indemitsu Asia Talent Cup and Australian 600 Supersport series in recent seasons.
Upon turning 16 midway through the 2022 season, Drane made his Progressive AFT debut and did not disappoint. He won the Parts Unlimited AFT Singles Al Lamb's Dallas Honda Challenge and finished second in his first-career series’ Main Event at the Lima Half-Mile.
He made a return trip to the States at the Springfield Mile and again took top honors in the four-lap challenge and might have been able to one up his Lima runner-up had the weekend not been cut short due to weather.
2023 will see Drane compete in the series full time after being signed by the powerful Estenson Racing outfit.
