The ACDelco Nissan 300 ZX of Michael "PATCH" Frossos nearly did not make the Top Fuel Match Race on 19th and 20th November 2010.

While Patch was away working up north the meeting was rapidly approaching. It looked like Patch would be away till Saturday morning. His crew was able to finnish putting the car back together and pack the transporter, however getting it to the track would be very hard without a prime mover.

The ACDelco Nissan 300 ZX of Michael "PATCH" Frossos was out at the Perth Motorplex for Top Fuel Match race on the 20th November 2010.

With the team making some changes leading up to the event it was hoped that the ACDelco Nissan 300ZX would get of the start line with more consistency with the different track conditions. Prior to the race meeting we had changed the gearbox (to try some different ratios in 1st and 2nd), service all the brakes, serviced the rear shocks and repaired the Track locator.

THE great part about visiting Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles is all the nearby murder, Korean food and tequila. But of course the real reason we are here is the National Hot Rod Association Sixty Years of Thunder exhibition that opened last week.
