Stuart's been hitting some good lights and the cars been nice and consistent. Only bad news is Stuart's vrsing his good mate Brayden in the first round.
He won with a great package. 030 light and 010 off his dial in.
Into the semi with an 8006 on an 8000.
Red light to Matt unfortunately. Racing over till next season.
Great Season well done Stuart [Sponsor`s very happy].

Mar 31st Well thats the end of the championship season.
Both Roger and Stuart bowed out in the first and second round at this meet and considering the dramas of the first few meets they came home with good results and a bit of gold. [more on that later].
Focus for Roger is now Sydney and Queensland.

Mar 17th Roger holds off Dean Bertoft in another nail biter to continue his good form in the Torrie ahead of his Eastern States campaign in May and June .
"I just worked out that the winning margin for the final against Dean Burtoft this round was the same margin for the Western Nats. I just piped him at the post by .008. Goto be happy with that a great run once again.A massive thanks to Johnny for all his help"

February 29th Test n Tune
Excellent days testing today. Torrie ran an 11.03 @ 120mph and the junior ran an 8.007. Right where we want them to be for qualifying Sat and Sun. A few minor repairs and we are set for the big one. The Western Nationals there will be a massive field of Doorslammers and Prostockers which is more than a good enough reason for anyone to get out of their comfy chair and come watch some racing. Seeya there

February 24th
Great night on Friday night picked up some valuable data. We initially had a fuel problem during qualifying which we finally worked out. We weren't sure what to dial in with the car qualifying with a 8.70, 8.30 and an 8.17. We knew the problem was solved so we dialed down to a 8.10 but unfortunately we fixed it to well and broke out with a 8.05. We did a bit more and went out for a grudge run and stuart ran a new pb at 7.94 so we are happy with the outcome. More tuning on wednesday and we'll be ready for the westerns.

February 11th
Great days racing with both Roger and Stuart bailing out in the third round. [Sponsor Mike from ACS Computers spent the day in the pits had a great time and was rapt in the results] Looking forward to the next race meet the Western Nationals on the 3rd & 4th March

Had a great weekend all round this weekend. It was very hot but enjoyable. A massive thanks goes out to Johnny, Nana and Granpa for their help in the pits over the weekend. Stuart was was back in the winners cirlce making it all the way to the semi's just shy of his first final. The Torrie was going fast with a best of 11.06 and going through to the third round was a great reward for the recent hard work. Looking forward to the next meeting already.
Well done to Phoebe Davis for her win in the Juniors .
Also to Darran Bakranich`s win in Super Street.

January 27th
‎3 4 sec Top Fuel runs in a row doesn't get much better than that. Roger had a couple of runs tonight a 11.20 off the trailer and then backed it up with an 11.06. Not a bad result considering the temperature.

January 26Th
A great days testing yesterday. Stuart got nine runs in and we needed every last one of them to finish setting it up. The car should be killer now so it's up to the driver. The torrie went well for it's first outing back in the low elevens with a best run of 11.10 @ 120mph. Unfortunately the car was all over the place as we had trouble keeping traction. Track was just too hot and to be honest so were we. Apart from the heat we are looking forward to this weekends Top Fuel meeting.

January 6/7
Well a great weekends testing with the new motor. We had 5 qualifiers. One was a bit close for comfort with a 7.94 so we backed her off a bit and then ran a 8.18 and a 8.13 so we were pretty happy going into the eliminations. Dialed in a 8.09 and ran a 8.12 pretty happy with the consistency but unfortunately Stuart cut a red light finishing his night. A big thanks goes to Eddie from Thornlie Automotive for some great tips and advise on the day. Next meet is the top fuelers on the 27th & 28th Jan. Seeya there
Stuart picks up trophy for best reaction time
