This trip has been very special, some super fast racing, particularly in top-fuel with a huge number of sub four second runs it has been a been a very high quality meeting.

The weekend highlight was to get to the startline and start the car being driven by Tony Franco Jnr, the race was between Jnr and Tony senior with Tony Snr winning and running 288 mph.  That’s equivalent to  a 1 mile in 12.5 seconds !!

The whole Muy Caliente team made Brad and me very welcome but special thanks to Tony Snr & Jnr, Kris Boesen and Tom Bognor.
The heat and thrust from 2 jet dragsters is something we will both remember for a very long time!

We found the Muy Caliente team and they made us feel very welcome,we also met up with Kris Boesen from Six B Apparel who designed and manufactured our race team shirts

Here is  a photo of Brad presenting Kris with a canvas print of the team in the shirts.

We are just about to leave for the USA, we are flying United Airlines, firstly with a stopover in New York, we then fly out from Newark to Las Vegas.

We have a rental car for the trip, kindly arranged by Andy Wheeler, this is a convertible so I will have to put plenty of sunscreen on my forehead !

On Friday we arrive at the track, we will be with the Muy Caliente jet car team for the weekend, the team run 2 jet dragsters backed by Lucas Oil, we are helping with the Terminal Velocity car which will be piloted by Tom Bognor.

We are really looking forward to this trip and will gain a wealth of experience working with the team and seeing how things are done in the USA compared to how we do it over here.

It will be awesome to be on the start line at this fantastic track for the Halloween meeting.

Keep an eye out for us in our Red team shirts, it will also be cool to meet up with Kris Boesen from Six B Apparel who designed and manufactured our team wear.

We are flying out with 2 bags but have lots of parts to pick up in the USA for our 2016 season so we will be traveling out light and coming back loaded !

I will update this site daily but please remember we will be 7 hours behind UK time, wishing everyone involved a fast and safe weekend !
