It is a Vh and if we can make it on the 29th we will be there. We have invites to race from everywhere at the moment. We wanted to come down for the show after Christms but ended up missing out.

Congrats i have a lot of respect for women drag racers i'n a predominantly male dominated sport . Women tend to have better reaction times, iv been put out by a few. My ex had alot more trophies than i did

It is cool having a partner as a rev head, but gets bloody expensive! Mine pulled over a dozen trophys at only three events, for the car and her driving at Springnats and Gazzanats.

keep up the good work and tell her to get on the stall a bit harder...Not unless she's going to embaress you...
