The Winter Cup at Brendale last Saturday was a fun day out for me. I’m not a big fan of large tracks, and havent’ raced at Brendale much, but I did enjoy the racing, the socialising, and the early stages of getting accustomed to the venue for this year’s Nats.

The first (annual ) Brendale Winter Champs fro Electric is done and dusted. For the record it was generally a pretty good day after a slow start do to transponders not being charged. After the start things ran like clockwork and we all enjoyed some great racing and a fabulous Brisbane…

Finally it looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel. I am certainly keen for this to work, the current high work load to keep a stock motor at the pointy end of things is taking it’s toll on both keen stock racers and new entries to…

What a game, great to be a Queenslander today. Sorry I’ve been so busy today haven’t had a chance to get on the computer so having a little celebration now – better late than never. Roll on 2007 and we do it again.

This weekend see the running of the Winter Champs at Brendale. The fact that Brendale is hosting the Electric Nationals and the 200mm Nitro Worlds later this year has given extra interest to their regular Winter Champs meeting.

Another world championship was contested at Bayside today. The level of competition in Stock Touring Cars is so high it’s unbelievable. Also some of the other classes are attracting very competitive fields. Great weather, an almost perfect Brisbane Winter day for some great racing. The track was officially classified as slow…

The build review. Recently I got my hands on a new car; I love new cars and especially the build. The build is when so much is revealed and buying a ready built car for me always leaves me wondering what’s inside and what makes it tick, will I be…

A very disapointing turn out last night at HS. 5 Mini and 2 Stock Tourers and 1 Mod Tourer. Anyway those that came had a fun night and went away with smiles on their faces. Results are posted on the race results page.  Next race meet 12th July 7pm start.     …
