    When we talk about about batting outside their league, anyone traveling to the USA taking on a drag-and-drive event is no mean feat, especially when you're from Western Australia literally the other side of the world. Challenging North Americans at their own game pushing an LS based Chev Nova to the limit on the road and track in soaring temperatures and contending with long daily drives, flying bonnets, airbnb scammers and tough track conditions are just the tip of the iceberg especially without the assistance of mobile support crew or vehicle. Mike Ward of WA Racing Developments and Kevin Boulton tell us of their tale travelling to the USA representing Western Australia in such a great way. This is a great story of adversity and how they have been able to overcome any challenge that came their way. Torque n Power -> https://torquenpower.net/?p=2577 www.torquenpower.com.au
