Me in my sparkling and super safe Sparco race suit!. Happy to report that my week in Reno, NV for the PRS 2010 event went great.

Drag Racer performed awesomely and I couldn't grumble about my times too much. I was actually quite happy with my time if I'm honest - running laps of around 59 secs which puts my speed at about 195mph.

However, once we clean the aircraft up again, attach the wheel pants and a few other mods - we should be breaking the 200mph mark. And if not I'll be in trouble with Dennis who'll probably throw me out of the plane and fly her himself!

Welcome to our new sponsors!

As we've mentioned - we've been working very hard on modifications to Drag Racer.

I'm happy to say that along they way we've been very excited and pleased to make new friends and are now working with a number of prestigous companies from inside and outside the aviation industry.

I'm proud to announce the following sponsors and friends of Drag Racer, they are:

Mark Carter - ezup.com
Craig Catto - Cattoprops.com
Red Hamilton - Red's Vintage
Mike Zenone - DEI Products
Dave Germann - PlaneCanopies.com
Peter Nielson - Precision Airmotive

More to come on this in the weeks to come.
