The Trinidad Rocket, Sheldon Bissessar                                                                                Takes the Win at Snowbird Nationals                                                                             While Setting New National Records!                                                                            

While across most of the country people are battling frigid temperatures and tangled Christmas lights, those at Bradenton Dragway in Florida were experiencing a beautiful weekend with some spectacular racing at their annual Snowbird Nationals. 

Christmas came early for standout driver Sheldon Bissessar as well as his family and close friends who were there to celebrate with him.  The Trinidad Rocket not only took home the win, but set the new National Record during round two of eliminations, laying down an incredible 5.77 pass at 241 mph!  Sabastian, who was defeated by Bissessar during that record round commented, "What I thought was impressive, was that he went 3.77 at 201mph just in the 1/8."

Sheldon has been on the scene and in the spotlight since his appearance at the IHRA Rockingham National Event.  Tuner, Aaron Sipple, of ASE & IRONMAN Chassis commented, "Rockingham was our first race out in this car for the year, and since then we've made several changes on the car in preparation for running the Snowbird Nationals.  Even though we fought bad tires at the start of the event this past weekend, and a broken throttle cable in the finals, the tune-up was there and we proved that this car can flat out fly and still has much more to be improved upon."  The dynamic duo of Aaron Sipple and Sheldon Bissessar has certainly accomplished in two short races what it takes most years to do.

Keep an eye out for these guys in 2009.  In addition to stepping up to the NHRA Top Alcohol division, Bissessar and Sipple will be a top contender in the southeastern Pro Top Outlaw circuit.  Odds are we are going to see some more impressive numbers and records set by this team, not to mention some competitive upsets!
