Another car that's been around for a little while but just hasn't lined up with us being at the track to get it on camera the carbon fibre Colorado!

Originally built by Reaper Performance, the car has a full carbon front end (bonnet/gaurds/bumper) and was one of two carbon cars with the other (a 4 door)being full carbon fibre shell and all.

In the hands of new owner, who you'd probably recognise on the channel from piloting everything from the Nitro Altered (Chucky's Toy) & Nitro Funnycar’s to the HZ Twin Turbo Radial Ute (along with Connor), and more than likely a handful of other cars Anthony Begley.... Brought the ute down for some testing on Slicks (car had previously been setup and run on radials and had gone well into the 8's!

The ute definitely was a different beast on radials and managed to really put the rear end to work, enough that it's actually going to need a few changes/upgrades by Lundy (who you'd also be familiar with on our channel from building and working on alot of the radial cars featured, to more recently absolutely smashing records in his SN95 Radial Mustang!).

Very much looking forward to watching the progression on this one now that it's back out and about again, and having this one back on the channel very soon!

If you haven't seen the behind the scenes documentary on what went into the track for the upcoming days prior to this event go and have a look!

The prep video has been months in the making with alot of thought, effort and preparation behind the scenes (and we mean ALOT) to make this a truly unique and educational watch for anyone interested in learning just what it takes to turn a track from 'ok' to 'elite'!

Seeing some of the W.A Radial Cars finally get the track they've been dreaming of here at the Perth Motorplex in Western Australia was a huge deal, and it's definitely only just the beginning now that we've seen what is actually capable.

Check out the interviews with the experts Justin, Lorenzo and Brendan to get the ins and outs of the weekend and what it took to put this educational documentary together.
