Reigning MSA British Drag Racing Champion set career-best ET winning 2008’s Summer Nationals while bedding-in new Brad Anderson motor and Darren Mayer fuel system. In 2009, disappointing start to title defence. Qualified 4th at Easter Thunderball (MSA Rnd.1) but lost opening round after crossing centre-line. Would have qualified 16th for Main Event (MSA Rnd.2) but for hitting track wall, damaging chassis. After battling to repair in time, hit encouraging 6.6/210 form at Summer Nationals (MSA Rnd.3) to qualify 3rd, reach semi-final. Team Sponsors Realising Designs / Lucas Oil / DA Wright Engineering
