Congrats, Benny, on the win. I’m sorry to hear you’ll be taking the only Barra powered Cresta in America back home, but thanks so much for sharing her with us. Hope you enjoyed our country and please come visit us in Texas next year. TX2K24 is going to be HUGE!

Good show and congratulations! It's great to hear the partners and sponsors acknowledged, particularly those in the US. Not because it's the US but because we in the US might not know that a business local to us was one of your supporters. On that note, when you mention locations you might also mention city AND state. I can think of two places named Charleston and even though only one of those makes sense (on the coast, a shipping port) there might be twenty more Charlestons across the US. It's a small detail but you're a details kind of guy. I'm looking forward to seeing you make it into the sevens!

That is true, thanks mate.

As an Aussie great to see you win your class and have a great time . The drag community is so welcoming to those who complete from outside of the USA and it's awesome to see its a family atmosphere.

Benny if you did the same changes to the fox body mustang that you did to the cresta doing it time in the US like the nitrous stuff what times do you recon that coudt do

@BennysCustomWorks

The fox has a slightly smaller turbo and looser converter so it may not benefit from what we’ve done so far, that being said , the Cresta is a test bed for the Mustang too.

Bandimere Speedway closed this year, and Atco Dragway in New Jersey abruptly shut down in July of this year. We're losing tracks more and more every year. Smh
