October 1 was the first Big Money Race. Despite things not going to plan, we top qualified and made 3 rounds of racing. We always knew this style of racing was going to be tough and it was. Congratulations to all of the teams that competed and a massive thank you and a job well done by Ken Lowe and his crew for their perseverance and hard work in organising this very first event. As always we are very proud of our crew, with no time to diagnose issues and tempers fraying they worked frantically every time to get me back in the race. To Lee, Alex, Leeanne, Luke, Mum, Dad, Carrissa, thank you for all that you do to keep the car running, to say that we appreciate you all is an understatement. Thank you to Tracey, Jason, Chloe and Zahli for coming out to show your support.

The Winter Nationals are done for another year, what a huge weekend for us all. It was all worth it to see our friends at Wizard Fabrications take out Comp Bike, well done guys we are very proud of you all. We had a few issues during qualifying but the crew worked late into the night Thursday and again on  Friday night. You guys gave me an outstanding car on Saturday, but unfortunately my eagerness got the better of me and a red light in Rd1. We gained valuable data and managed a best ET of 7.987 and a PB of 172.08MPH with 30 psi of boost. The biggest thank you to Lee and Alex, you two worked like crazy to get it fixed after every run. To our girl Leeanne, thank you so much for doing everything for me when I couldn’t. I wouldn’t have got through the weekend without you. Very special thanks to Mum, Dad, Chloe, Nick, Lee M, Taylor, Jay, Carrissa, Karen, Jim & Luke, thank you for your help and support over the weekend it means everything to us.
