Jamboree 2026-willowbank raceway

After a few upgrades to the front end leading up to jamboree we came into the event hoping yo go straighter down the track.

First pass off the trailer it went right pretty hard and had to blip the throttle only the slightest to get the car straight again running a [email protected].

Second pass was in the heat of the after noon and track not taking the power or adjustments we made, rolling through the beams for a 8.7@123mph

From there Jeff took the time to slow the car down to handle the track and we could do some adjustments from Shane’s expertise on the bar work.

Pass after pass we started to get the car going straighter, by that time we were into the following days of racing but the heat beat us down on getting the car to grip.

We made it through our rounds and didn’t get to the finals but had an awesome time at the event, as always lots of laughs and entertainment throughout the weekend.

Thanks to the Moloney family for having us, as always we appreciate it lots.

Crew for putting on some of the biggest laughs of all time.

Jeff Johnson and Shane Marshall for always being there in person or on the phone for helping us get down the track safely and as fast as the car will take it.

Shout out for all the Sponsor’s and helpers along the way, can’t do it without any of yas.

The way this car keeps performing is mind blowing.

Day one of all stars done and dusted.

Kenda 660 Braggin Rights done and dusted 👊

Got to the burnout box for testing and got rained out, shrugged it off and headed to the pub 🍻

Lined up Saturday for our first pass and went a bit sideways about 20ft out, due to me not checking the shocks🤦‍♂️….sorry Lauren

Put the car into the beams for the second pass and the car left the line smoothly and drove straight as an arrow with a new PB of 4.98@145MPH.

The car that was never ever going to run a 4 second pass came through with the goods 👌 I looked at the ticket three times, I thought it wasn’t real.

Can’t thank the crew and everyone who helped enough, for all the time and effort with making this happen over the years of us racing.

Thanks Jeff for everything you have done from tuning, back up support and just for laughing at the way I do things.

Sunday loaded the car on the trailer and heard some strange noises, inspected the rockers to find a broken rocker arm which was about to break the collet and retainer on inlet valve.
To say I was kissed on the dick is an understatement for the damage it could have caused if we had of ran the car again 🫣

Thanks to the Moloney family for having us and can’t wait for All Stars 🌟 in less than two weeks.

While the rubber was still hot on the tyre we thought why not head to Ballarat on the weekend and see if we can get old heavy down the airport track.
Lined up first pass to try a really soft tune from Portland and BAM it didn’t even get off the line as expected 😂.
So we played dirty and left the bottle off for the c02 and ran the engine naturally aspirated on gate pressure only, surprising we got off the line at 5000rpm.
Few more passes with different techniques and we had the car dialled in running 6.2’s consistently.
Thanks to the Ballarat drag club and committee for having us, we will return for some more racing soon enough.
