Had a race meeting at Ashburton Speedway 2 weeks ago. Great race meeting. Awesome banked track. Enjoy the pics. Cheers, Brendon

Finally, some good weather and we finally had a race meeting. First time out on the track in this car with a full grid of cars, not by myself at practice. Today was my first offical race meeting and it happened to have been the c grade chamionship. Well all good. We had 12 cars, and 3 races with points for each race totalled to give you the total score at the end. Well out of 12 cars, my very first race meeting and I came 7th. Not too shabby for a first timer against a flock of comodores and my mates cordia ( number 17 ). Heres a few pics of me in action. Also, another mate of mine raced also, number 24 xf falcon is his car. Ben ( 17 cordia ) and I were battling with each other all day. Great racing! Anyway, sorry for the late reply guys. Weather hasnt been the best lately. Finally got my first meeting last month. Car come out without a scratch and was really flying. Heres some pics. Hope you enjoy. Cheers, Brendon

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Cheers, Brendon

Heres a pic of the real tru blu. Bathurst 1981 And my tru blu....lol My place 2008...lol Cheers, Brendon

Had practice day last week. Im new to dirt track racing and this car and I did considerably well. Had one problem, being a xd falcon, it has leaf springs in the rear and big 3 inch lowering blocks. I had about 23psi in the rear tyres and was going great, fast, flying really. Anyway, I dropped the rear tyres down to about 16psi and went for a spin. 2 laps into it, blew my right rear tyre. What caused it was the lower tyre pressure and the tyre rolling under hard cornering, the tyre rubbed against the u bolt threads under leaf spring and blew my tyre. I have got 2 rims in now getting the offset adjusted so Im ready for the race meeting this sunday. Apart from that, the car is excellent. Heres a couple of pics of me in action at practice last week. Forgot my camera so pics are taken from Kellys cellphone. Cheers, Brendon

Wheels are now gold. Cheers, Brendon

Couple more pics I took today. My mates commodore I painted for him about a month ago when he bought it. I am doing some more paintwork to his car tomorrow. ( good ol' somsors aye ). His commodore is in the hobby grade, 1 grade below me. In the hobby grade, cars have to remain standard in everyway apart from roll cage. My grade, you are allowed modifications, ie motor, diffs, body, suspension etc. Also painted the rims on tru blu gold and also a few spare rims aswell. Been a busy evening. Will put pics of the rims on the car painted tomorrow. Cheers, Brendon

Some more signwriting done today. Unfortunatly number 17 is already taken in my grade so I got 81 instead. ( The year I was born and also the year of Dicks first win ) Cheers, Brendon

Have just finished applying some of the signwriting today. More to come. Cheers, Brendon
