The ACDelco Nissan 300 ZX of Michael "PATCH" Frossos was out at the Perth Motorplex for Top Fuel Match race on the 20th November 2010.

With the team making some changes leading up to the event it was hoped that the ACDelco Nissan 300ZX would get of the start line with more consistency with the different track conditions. Prior to the race meeting we had changed the gearbox (to try some different ratios in 1st and 2nd), service all the brakes, serviced the rear shocks and repaired the Track locator.
