With 5 podium finishes we became 2008 National Championships in Super Gas. 2009 - Gave us a good start to the season with a runner up at the main event and concluded with a runner up positions in the Santa Pod Championship. 2010 - Started well with a Main Event win in Super Gas but with plans in 2009 starting to gather pace, before long the Firebird was parked up and by the end of the summer a deal had been done to purchase the Pro Stock Pontiac Grand-AM, so here we go the 1st Pro Stock Team, in the United Kingdom. This year also saw Conrad traveling with Tommy Leindahl and his Pro Stock Cobalt to all the European rounds, giving Conrad first hand experience of seeing what is involved in running in this class. Whilst at the Hockenheim race meeting a plan was made to try and debut and the license the Grand-AM at the European Finals, Santa Pod and big order. A weekend later with the Firebird we traveled to Malmo, Sweden to meet with Tommy and his crew and collected our new car. With Tommy’s expert advice we went through all the licensing procedures and requirements that weekend and with a full 1/8 mile pass under our belts by Sunday. We packed up the car and headed back on a 1,800 mile journey home waving as the Firebird headed north with Tommy also to a new home. Next stop 2010 European finals. With 2 full passes under 7.40 a best of 7.26 license stamped, could it get any better in 2010 you would think not. Conrad was the first reserve and with another car broken, hang on, we were in the 1st round and against Jimmy Alund. Unfortunately Conrad over revved the engine in the burn out and broke a rocker, where we disappointed or what, pro Stock Euro Finals enough said! 2011 - What a fantastic year, we tested at the Easter Thunderball with our now new team mate Tommy Leindahl, we felt on top of the world running a 6.87 @200.06mph, we felt ready for the rest of the season. Panther Racing UK traveled and ran the whole tour in making all 5 European rounds and some extra testing in Sweden we learnt so much, the achievements we produced this season were a credit to the team. This winter with plans already formulated we all as a team look forward to 2012. 2012 - Wait and see!
