The 2006 season was the team's rookie year as they jumped into the professional ranks of international, professional drag racing for the first time. The season was a learning season, full of highs and lows, but throughout it all the team did not quit and a lot of valuable experience was gained. They will use that knowledge as they move forward for the 2007 IHRA drag racing season.

The New Team stands by their objective: To make Canadians proud and to fulfill a dream!
