Meanwhile, at the 2002 Australian Drag Racing Nationals at Willowbank Raceway just recently two competitors were seen testing with our 'Fuel' type injector hats. The results speak for themselves with Jim Read in the Gregory's Top Fuel Dragster and Andrew Searle in the ACME Customline Top Doorslammer, both being extremely excited about the results in testing their new hats. Both cars found big horsepower increases right from the start line with both cars, trying to get a handle on the new set up, riding out big power wheelstands with Reads car almost flipping over at the 300 ft mark!  

After seeing and hearing results from these two very experienced drivers, other racers have bought hats including Steve Reed in the Santo Rapisarda Top Fueler and Terry Haddock from the USA was very interested and excited with their potential.
