We’ve just returned from the summer nationals run at Taupo International Dragway on 4 January 2010 where we took out the Top Doorslammer title.

The whole team is absolutely stoked we were able to pull something like this off after only our second outing and it’s a credit to them that they were able to prepare and turn around the car after each run with such precision that we could improve incrementally each time.

Our qualifying pass saw us deliver an 8.29 @ 120mph after blowing a belt at half track. 

Elimination rounds saw us improving to a 7.31 @ 183mph followed by a 7.27 @ 202mph.

We delivered a 7.01 @ 205mph in the final.

Our thoughts are with Kevin McGregor after he crashed during our first elimination round.  We know only too well the time and money it takes to get where we are and we’re not usually insured whilst on the track.  We’re hoping Kevin can get things together and be back in action soon.

Thanks to our sponsors (especially PPG and Red Line Oil who are assisting more and more as the season progresses) and supporters yet again.

We would also like to extend our thanks to Steve and Lynda Zahorodny and the NZDRA crew for putting on a very slickly run meeting.

An acknowledgement also must be made to Karen Algar for her wonderful photography work at the track.  The majority of the images on the website are hers.

Over and out from Parry and the team.

Heres some video of our runs:
