AUCKLAND INVASION ENTRANT PREVIEW
Over the coming weeks we'll be showcasing some of the cars and bikes that have confirmed their attendance at the the upcoming Auckland Invasion and Round 2 of the new Group One National Series - February 16th & 17th 2019.
Let's get started with Cameron Paterson, and his front engined dragster (FED).
Named 'Free Ranger 2', Cam's FED has a wheel base of 205 inches, and runs a 410 small block Chevy with a 6-71 blower, and 2 speed Powerglide.
Cameron gives us a run-down on his drag racing career so far: "I have been racing since I was 6, going through the ranks. My first achievement was 2nd place in the Junior Dragster competition in 2009/2010 season. My second achievement was runner-up in the IHRA competition class 2013/2014 season, and my third achievement was winner in the NZDRA national series competition class in 2014/2015 season".
We recon that's an outstanding effort for such a young competitor, and with a best ET in this new car of 7.34 seconds at 185 mph so far, we can't wait to see Cams progress!
Cam would like to thank the following people:
Crew
Jim Paterson (Dad) – is my crew chief
Steve Moore who built the motor is our tuner.
Maria Paterson (Mum) is tow car driver.
Lance Mayhall is on starter.
Vic Mayhall is back up girl.
