One thing I've learnt in motorsport is that people often remember the result sheet. They remember who won and who lost. What they don't always see is the work that goes on behind the scenes to make a race car consistently fast and reliable.
The Winternationals wasn't just about a 5.551-second Australian National ET Record. It was about a team of dedicated people who poured everything they had into making sure the OGL [Australia] / Royal Precision Lubricants Camaro performed at the highest level every single time it rolled into the staging lanes.
A huge thank you to Stu, Steve, Josh, Jack and Dave. These guys worked tirelessly all weekend checking, servicing, analysing data, inspecting components and preparing the car between rounds.
Their attention to detail meant we were able to make pass after pass at record-setting pace while keeping the car straight, predictable and mechanically sound.
Anyone can lean on a race car when things are going right. The real measure of a team is their ability to repeatedly run at the front, push the limits, set records and do it without tearing parts off the car every run. That's a credit to the professionalism, experience and dedication of every crew member.
It was also fantastic to have Jamie and Jen from OGL [Australia] with us at Willowbank.
Having them there to witness firsthand the effort that goes into campaigning a Top Doorslammer, and to share in a weekend that saw the Australian National ET Record lowered to 5.551 seconds @ 258.67mph, made the achievement even more special.
The Gold Christmas Tree wasn't coming home with us this weekend, but neither is the Australian National ET Record going home with anyone else.
Proud of this team. Proud of what we achieved. And excited for what's still to come for the remaining 2 rounds of the championship.
