Stevens' records wiped by ANDRA

All drag racing titles held by the retired Brett Stevens have been suspended while drug charges against the Gold Coast resident have been resolved.

Stevens, 44, of Narangba north of Brisbane, was recently arrested with four others and faces six charges of producing, supplying and trafficking dangerous drugs.

Police seized an estimated $6.1 m worth of cash and property in the swoop, including six high-performance cars and five motorcycles. All the vehicles were seized from a property near Yatala, south of Brisbane.

Even though he retired in December last year after winning three national titles and setting a number of world, national and strip records, the Australian National Drag Racing Association (ANDRA) has made a decision, based on a recommendation for  its CEO Tony Thornton, to suspend all of those achievements until the matter has been settled.

"I don't think there is any question that the current legal issues Brett Stevens is facing have brought the sport of drag racing into disrepute," Thornton said.

"We have acknowledged Brett's contribution to the sport previously, but unfortunately this current situation outweighs those positives. Obviously this decision will be reviewed once the current legal procedures are finalised."

Among the records no longer recognised by ANDRA is Stevens' alcohol-class speed record of 260.27mp/h (416.432km/h), which he set at Willowbank Raceway.

A motor mechanic by trade, Stevens began his long and successful career as a drag racer in 1990 when he travelled to the United States and purchased his first Nitro Harley Top Fuel Motorcycle from good friend and drag racing legend, the late Jim McClure.

In 1993 his team first became known as Jack Daniel's Racing in a relationship that stood until his retirement.

Stevens was an inaugural inductee into the Australian Motorcycle Hall of Fame.
