THE HIGHS & LOWS OF THE SPORT

We had some serious momentum headed into the Sprintcar Power Tour, unfortunately on Tuesday night the driver fell ill and definitely wasn’t 100% and where we needed to be for the week ahead.

Summary in short is we sucked badly on Wednesday. We turned it around come Friday making the big dance before being caught up in someone else’s mess on lap 2 ending in a DNF

We got rolling early last night turning a good qualifying time. Unfortunately just missed it in the heat race which put us in the B main. We managed to run from P18 in the A-main up to P9 before a clump of mud knocked my visor open on the last lap dropping me to P10.

Overall happy to get a somewhat decent result on the final night for my team and sponsors. Big thankyou to the whole crew for their work all week. We now take a little break before returning for Pink Night on Feb 21st at the Hi-Banks💪🏽

10th from P18 tonight 👍🏽

Had to run through the B-Main and got rolling early up to P9 early. Lost 9th on the last lap. Just needed some cautions probably to help pick some off but still happy to end with a decent result after the week we’ve had 💪🏽

SPEEDWEEK CHAMPIONS

A night to forget tonight, qualified poorly and with the format being heads up all night we tried to make moves in the heat and unfortunately I clipped the RR of a car and knocked the Jacobs ladder out of the car. Started the C-Main and pulled 4.7s ahead before the driver spun it out…..

Still want to say a massive thankyou to my team for their hard work for speedweek. To get 4 podiums out of 5 is an amazing effort.

Erase tonight from the memory bank and come back Friday & Saturday 👊🏽

Sprintcar Power Tour & Speedweek Finale Ready ‼️

We are ready to go for 3 nights of racing at Hi-Tec Oils Toowoomba Speedway over the next 4 nights!

Jan 7th - QLD Speedweek Final & Power Tour Rnd 2
Jan 9th - Sprintcar Power Tour Rnd 3
Jan 10th - Sprintcar Power Tour Round 4

Looking forward to mixing it up with more of the big hitters this coming week and trying to keep our momentum of 4 straight podiums going. We still have one more task at hand which is to close out the QLD Speedweek Championship on Wednesday whilst also focusing on the night 👊🏽

Big thanks to Mum & Dad for everything they do to keep this Q7 going and to our main crew man Jack Thomas.

0.138s AT THE LINE || 4 FROM 4 PODIUMS IN SPEEDWEEK

Last night was another one that got away from us after being in control for the majority of the race. Again….😅

Qualifying: 3rd Overall (12.182s)
Heat 1: Started 8th -> Finished 7th
Heat 2: Started 7th -> Finished 5th

A-Main: Started 2nd -> Finished 2nd (managing the quickest lap time of 11.405s)

We had a wicked fast car last night and fell just shy of Brock and the Q5 team, congrats to them of course and I want to say a massive thankyou to my old man & Jack for their work over these 4 nights. We have got some speed on board thats for sure, now the driver just needs to learn how to lead the full 30 laps 🥴

P2 AGAINNNNN….. We crossed the line on the Q5’s bumper and have now made it 4/4 SPEEDWEEK PODIUMS 💥

We lead the majority and lost it in traffic, didn’t give up tonight though and made sure to keep Brock on his toes.

Annoying to get another 2nd but to mix it with a guy who just won in Warrnambool is something to be proud of 💪🏽

Massive credit to my entire crew for keeping this thing rolling. Onto the Power Tour and QLD SPEEDWEEK Finale on Wednesday

LOADED FOR THE TWIN 20’S

We’re locked and loaded and ready to head back up the mountain tomorrow night for Round 4 of the QLD Speedweek 👊🏽

CLOSING OUT 2025 WITH A BANG ‼️

Only a couple of months ago, I was seriously questioning whether we even had what it took to keep racing. Fast forward to now, and we’re closing out the year with three consecutive podiums and sitting as the QLD Speedweek points leader, with what were very nearly two wins that slipped away.

Last nights quick results:

Qualifying: 2nd (12.685s)
Heat 1: Started 6th -> Finished 4th
Heat 2: Started 6th -> Finished 3rd
A-Main: Started 2nd -> Finished 3rd

I want to thank my entire team for their constant support. Whilst it may seem some of the “big hitters” haven’t been in town, when we reflect on where we were this time last year, struggling to crack the top 10, the progress we’ve made is something to be proud of.

A special thank you to my wife Ellie for standing by me through every high and low, to my Mum and Dad for their constant support, and to our main crew member Jack and of course Steve and those who have helped this year. Without all of you pushing me to keep going this team could have closed its doors already.

I’m extremely excited to see what we can achieve heading into the new year and to keep this Q7 momentum rolling.

Lastly, a huge thank you to our sponsors. Without your support, none of this would be possible.:

3RD PLACE - THREE PODIUMS | THREE ROUNDS

We lead the majority of tonight’s race again unfortunately the driver just made the wrong call in traffic and didn’t get to the top early enough and fell to 3rd.

Overall very happy with tonight for a new track, car was fast, car is straight and we’ve extended our points lead 💪🏽

Onto Toowoomba on the 3rd 💥

SPEEDWEEK POINTS LEADER 💪🏽

A mixed emotions of seconds to open our accounts at Hi-Tec Oils Toowoomba Speedway, the first night was a win that definitely got away from us where as the second night we came from P8 after inverting the top 8 to 2nd.
