Dave Newcombe is a prominent figure in Australian Pro Stock drag racing, renowned for his significant contributions and record-breaking performances. In 2011, driving his Ford Mustang, Newcombe made history by achieving the first unofficial six-second pass in Australian Pro Stock history, clocking a 6.994-second run at Willowbank Raceway. After a hiatus of over a decade, Newcombe is set to make a much-anticipated return to Pro Stock racing with his previously campaigned Pontiac GTO.
