What can i say, it was an awesome weekend and alot of thanks goes out to the queensland boys for all there help. What a great bunch of guys and it was a pleasure meeting all of you. Thanks also goes out to the fellas who gave me a drive belt. It was great meeting everyone thier and my partner and kids had a great time.

The LS1 nats was the first time my car had seen the track and also the first time that i had ever raced the 1/4 mile and at first i was pretty nervous. CV performance built my car and went the extra mile by coming to the nats and supporting me as i got ready for my first run ever. My hat goes off to CV PERFORMACE for the outstanding effort and time they put into me and my car.

Well it was time for me to run the car for the first time and i prepared for my burnout. I went up to the line thinking to myself 3rd gear? holy crap thats some fast moving tyres (compared to the street). I started my burnout and it felt good (really good). Off to the staging lane i went, sweaty palms and heart beating 100 mph. The lights turn green and i was off like a bat out of hell and then all of a sudden i thought holy crap and backed off the throttle, then full throttle again then holy crap again then full throttle again. I finally passed the finish line with a 12.8 129mph and was glad it was over.

To cut a long story short,,,,,,,wait for it,,,,,,10.7 132mph with 9 pounds boost

I drove it home tonight from CV PERFORMANCE tonight and she didnt miss a beat, all ready for work on wednesday

PS: My boy was the one who won the demolition derby
