Ultra racing methanol funny car. Driven by Trace Froome and crewed by an all family team.
On Saturday 16th April at 5pm, the ultra racing team held their breath as the first fire up of the season was about to take place.
After a long, cold winter and a re-build, the team were hoping for a good result - and they got one. The engine fired up first time with no problems at all.
The crew are looking forward to the first race of the season, where they are hoping for some good runs.
