As I walk around the pits of World Time Attack Challenge I received a really awesome and encouraging phone call from Matt at Wildridge Fabrications about my car. Fantastic news it’s mostly straight being the stuff that’s not straight is cosmetic but chassis wise it’s square which is the best news I’ve heard in a long time. Now it’s just a matter of time before I’m back where I was.

Now it’s mainly just cosmetic and fibreglass work needs to be done the bumper, fenders and rear quarter so not long to go before the car is home!

Massive shout out Matt for all his hard work!

When you get bored and start working on the tow vehicle because your race car is still broken. Perks of being a diesel mechanic.

Here’s bit of an update on my car now that it’s off the back burner. Finally did 2 solid days of measuring and swapping out all the suspension ruling out that damage compared to the chassis. After my findings the chassis is looking way more repairable than we all thought. This time next week it will be going in for spinal surgery to be pulled and straightened on a chassis jig and we possibly will be returning to the track this year as long as there no new interruptions along that way.

It’s such a great feeling seeing my car that I put a tremendous amount of time and effort into to actually rolling and steering mostly straight on all 4 wheels once again!

Well I finally finished an endurance race breaking my personal curse. 5th time lucky!

And considering the circumstances this car fought me all the way but i wasn’t going to let it beat me and the team I race with. Prior to qualifying the brake master cylinder was leaking we changed it out for a replacement one which also failed producing no pedal pressure at all no matter how many times we bled the system try all different methods it just wasn’t meant to be on to the third master cylinder which finally worked but missed out on qualifying resulting in rear if grid start

We started from 54th on the grid, 2nd last. Josh the owner had fantastic drive staying calm and composed in he’s third ever race marching up the ladder until making our first and only compulsory 5 minute pit stop at lap 37. The team refuelled the car and i jumped in for the back half of the race. Unfortunately we pitted 2 laps early just missing the safety car which would have yielded a better result even though we had a really strong finish. Me being a veteran of the race I knew what I had to do drive to a number and bring the car home.

I had a few close calls and battling it out with other competitors on my 39 lap stint but nothing I can’t manage. And I brought the car home to 7th out right and 4th in class out of
55 cars.

Thanks to all who were involved on the day as pit crew I greatly appreciate your efforts.

Thanks to A & M Racing and Josh for including me in their team over the weekend and given me the opportunity to personally redeem myself over past events as most of you know have gone particularly smooth.

Next time hopefully it will be me and my car chasing out right victory.

Stay tuned because there’s more updates to come from the past month or so on my car and other projects I’ve been involved in.

For all that would like to watch the Sydney 300 here is the link. Our race kicks off at 7:30pm Saturday night.

Ready to race in the Sydney 300 this Saturday at 7pm at Sydney Motorsports Park. I’ll be co driving this car with the owner Josh in division C fingers crossed everything goes smoothly. And that’s right you can’t keep me out of the seat haha after all that’s happened!

It’s been awhile since I last posted something because I’ve been busy doing many side quests. Stay tuned for an update and big things to come!

Making some small progress.

I’ve been quiet for a bit as I’m heading but now I’m starting the process again of building or rebuilding the race car!

Massive thanks to Honed developments and Spoolup for replacing and sourcing parts.

Again at this stage I’ll be changing a couple of things and improving again to make my car faster.

Here’s my best 2 laps of the weekend also lap right before the crash. Was a dream come true to race around the legendary mountain. Definitely more in the car and me maybe in the future I can find out.
