Hi Bennett Racing Team, thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule and talking to us today. It’s very impressive that you guys have been racing for 29 years; you must have some amazing memories?

Hi, no problem at all it’s a pleasure. Yeah we’ve been racing for a long time and have been lucky to experience some fantastic times. One of the best memories for us was running our first 6 second ‘ET’ (Elapsed Time).

We had been racing for years before, but always ran the car very soft and never pushed it too hard. We have been lucky with sponsors that have helped us with the financial side of things, so when we did utilize the car we managed a 6.901 second run at only 195mph. Later that same year we also managed a run over 200mph!

Our best time to date is 6.42seconds at 191mph, again not leaning on the car too much and with a soft tune – so it can still go a lot quicker.
