After a hugely disappointing weekend at the 50th annual Kragen O'Reilly NHRA Winternationals Andy Carter will fly to Phoenix tomorrow, keen to put the DNQ behind him. Carter is more used to being number one qualifier in Europe and the 4 time FIA European Top Fuel Champion is far from happy with the showing.

"What can I say? It was a very difficult week all round. Eddie Corr, Ben Allum, Richard Bruton, Steve Porter and Neil Collins worked very, very hard in very difficult circumstances, all things considered they did a great job. I flew back to Florida Sunday morning-no point in being there Sunday when your not racing-and they stayed with the Dragster this week getting it ready for Phoenix.

All we can do is put it behind us and head in to the Arizona Nationals looking to do the best we can, not just for ourselves but for the fantastic partners we have on board. I'd like to say thanks to Don Garlits, Roger Burgiss of ProCare Rx, Hol Taj, Lucas Oil, K&N Filters, BMRS, Prothings, Hurleypalmerflatt and Gatorwrap for the faith shown in me.

I will be doing my very best this weekend to qualify and go rounds." said Andy Carter.

As ever, you can follow Andy's progress via the Carter Motorsport site: www.andycarter.net hope we'll be bringing you some good news over the weekend before heading to the third and final stop of our NHRA tour, the 41st annual Gatornationals.
