History:                     The car was originally built as a street car 4 years ago. After a year of street legal races the bug bit and the car was completely converted to an 11 second race car. This took a year. Leanne took over the driving responsibilities midway through the 2008 season. This is Leanne’s 1st full year of racing and she is quickly becoming a full blown drag racer, loving every moment she gets to spend behind the wheel, even sitting in the staging lanes! We have travelled around Saskatchewan to other race tracks and will be going to the US at least once this year.
