2008-02-25 08:47:33 Rd4 Tri-Steel Series Lismore. The Lismore track looked reasonably sedate during heat 1, but later the ruts began to open up and showed both mine and Luca's inexperience on such a track. All we could do was carry on and keep our cars in one piece and watch how its done be the fast drivers.Full report in NEWS PAGE

Gatton 16 Feb After first being refused entry to the pit area because of mistaken identity with some other NSW race team that wont read a rule book, we had a great night of F500 racing. The newly purchased 600 ran very well all night and Luca enjoyed his first hitout on the long Gatton layout. A rain storm after heat 2 made heat 3 a bit of a mud derby but we all had fun. Many thanks to Richard and Maria McAteer for making the trip worthwhile.

A Busy few weeks. This weekend (16th) our Team travels to Queenslands Gatton Raceway for a Club Show, then it's off to Lismore (23rd) for a round of the Tri-Steel Pointscore (Shakedown for the Aussie Titles at Easter), then were off to Goulburn (1st) for the postponed round of the Tri-Steel Series.
