“We have worked tirelessly to have the car ready for this weekend.  I am looking forward to the new race season starting in three weeks at the Nationals, Sydney Dragway.  Hopefully my licensing can be competed soon so that I can get behind the steering wheel and get back to what I love doing –  racing” explained Cody Grohn.
