(Team release)

Lucas Green in his Chucky inspired Toy Gory has completed a busy off season and intensive testing regime in readiness for the 2021/2022 Drag Racing Championship at Perth Motorplex.

During the off season, the car has been refreshed. Thanks to Mike Naylor the blackout feature on the rims was completed, the A engine was checked over and fitted and the new Evacuation Tank was fitted with hoses and fitting from Summit courtesy of the contingency program. Also, many thanks to Lauren at Black Magic Race Cars for some small repairs for body and weight mounting options.

“Pre-season testing netted consistency however the A engine responds differently to the weather and it was around 15 passes completed to see what difference the weather made. Speaking with Mike Marriot we got a further understanding on water grains and its impact. This set us right on the money with prediction of ET’s,” Doug Green (crew chief) said.

“We went to the PowerPalooza trying to get our dial ins sorted. Whilst my reaction times weren’t perfect, we were happy with our dial in consistency. Round 1 was 8.100 on 8.10 and the B Final we broke out with an 8.072 on an 8.08. Now I just need to fix my reactions. The new engine is faster and more fun but easier to race. I’m really looking forward to racing against everyone again. We are lucky to have 3 seasons left so we can get used to the car and have some fun this season.” Lucas the ever-smiling team driver beamed.

Green Family Racing is excited for the forthcoming season. With 19 teams looking to race it’s going to be tough but the sport breeds champions with the right attitude and maturity to race with fun but competitively. Every round win is well deserved

Green Family Racing would like to thank its sponsors: Riverside Mechanical, BL and SG Lake Brick Carting, Cajed Racewear, ACS Images, ADR Engines and a big sing out to new sponsor WA Suspensions for coming on board this year.

The team also sends a huge thank you to the Perth Motorplex staff and volunteers, ANDRA, WCJDA and WADRA clubs and their associated sponsors. “We encourage everyone to support your local racetracks either in WA or across the country. We wish all our fellow racers in all racing brackets to have a safe and enjoyable season also.”
