Default BOSS Record 10.19 @ 135.99
Chris is up at Heathcote today in the black ute doing some testing with the new BLUE POWER blower set up. Team Blue Power / ACE continue to set the standard.

10.19 @ 135.99 MPH


The AFF Drag Day should be fun next weekend.

Didn't think you had any limitations, Craig......

Congratulations, Craig and Chris with another great result on the track. This is what many people wanted to see - a blower kit out there performing. These sort of records are why you are both so admired and respected. :

You obviously made an impression today because a rep from a V8 team was` watching and has been on the phone to me me the last 1 1/2 hours!!!!! I am more thrilled than I was this afternoon.

I've only just got home from work - the call held me up!!

They have asked for a meeting when I am in Melbourne at the beginning of June (yes, I have family members that own a race team). You boys caught attention today - well done! I have been modest with your efforts - you were truly noticed today.

Regards
Gaela
