Ray White Car: Ford Zephyr Occupation: Cable Craft - electrical engineering Home Town/Country: Sidcup Team: Lethal Zephyr 2 Best ET: 7.391 seconds Best Terminal Speed: 190.92mph

Return to action at the 2009 Main Event (MSA Rnd.2) after a season away was more promising than statistics imply. A lightweight composite body has replaced the original steel Zephyr shell, with performance boost in mind. Car looked and sounded strong with new fuel system but everyday mechanical hiccups (fluid leak, snapped blower belt) curtailed constructive progress. Missed Summer Nationals (MSA Rnd.3), expecting to return at European Finals (MSA Rnd.4) after further testing.
