East Coast Lubes has re-signed for next season, believing this is the best chance for Ham’s TSP Racing outfit to claim their first title.

“It’s like Christmas has come early for us having a multi-national throw their weight behind us for next season,” said Ham. “Everdigm is making massive inroads into the rock breaking market here in Australia, and Queensland Rock Breakers are their biggest sellers in the state, so along with RD Williams, we’ve got all the big names in the industry on board.”

“We’re still waiting for the light decals to arrive to finish it off, but we’re really excited about what extra aerodynamic edge we could get out of this body. In theory it should hold down firmer than the old body so can only help us with consistency.”

Ham is the national speed and elapsed time record holder for Top Alcohol Funny Car in Australia, covering the 402-metres (1,000-foot) track in just 5.46 seconds, reaching 426 kilometres per hour (264.67 mph). But Ham believes there’s more in the tank that could better the records even more.
