Aussie Bandit world record gets some more mileage from the Adelaide Advertiser daily newspaper

Finally after many months since we did the attempt we have finally received official confirmation that we have brocken the previous world record.
The Aussie Bandit is now the Guinness world record holder for the longest Wheelstand by a car. Old record 760mtrs new record 1331mtrs.
Almost double but only stopped with 3 mtrs to spare so very good result.
I must admit I am so pleased as I have been trying to find a venue for 6 years that was long enough and would actually allow us to do the attempt.
Special thanks to many people
Firstly my wife Rita who has supported me over so many racing ventures for so many years. Thanks babe!
My ground crew James and Heather. James without his data experience I would have been lost. Way above my pay grade! Heather always there as back up
Special thanks to Paul Bennet air shows and staff for allowing us to be involved Thanks
Thanks to Paul Joosten who through incident conversation over dinner in Queensland mentioned about his mate Paul Bennet who did air shows. Big thanks mate!! For the intro that made this possible
Sarah and all the management and ground crew that allowed us on the airstrip and gave us support Thanks
Ryan from Racing Industries that took a lot of time out over and above to get the data logging to us and working in time for the atempt. And after the event arranging compilation of the files and in car footage which was the most critical information needed to confirm the attempt Thanks
We certainly had our challenges over the two days and had to get very creative but was all worth it now Happy Days
