10s finally late last year at ford vs holden nationals at heathcote struggled bad Friday night was sick with tonsillitis and almost gave up before the event a few mates helped out got the issue sorted and the car finally started behaving ended up going out first round after going faster and faster each run in the warm up to break out round 1 and get eliminated but a first 10.9 with more in it I was more than happy picked a wheel up too havent got back to the track yet but have plans to definately improve on that also as always more power is in the pipeline
