Sport Compact Drag Racing at its finest

August 29-30 saw the 19th running of the Fast Fours Jamboree at Qld's Willowbank Raceway. This event is by far the biggest and most anticipated meeting in the Aus Sport Compact scene. With participants and spectators coming from all over Aus and even oversea's to see some of the biggest names in the scene battle out for top spot! PAC Performance, GAS Motorsport, the Rayglass crew from NZ and even a visiting Titan crew from the USAall keen to push thier cars to the limit for our viewing pleasure. What more could you ask for??

Oz Drag Racing at its best

Over the past month we have had 2 huge drag racing events in Oz with the biggest Sport Compact meet of the year the Fast Fours Jamboree 19 in late Aug at Willowbank Raceway QLD, and over this weekend the 2009 Fuchs Aus Nationals at Sydney's WSID.

Over the next week i should have images up in a gallery on my new website, until then, get to WSID tomorrow for the last day of drag mayhem!

Import Tuner "Longshots"

Had an image selected for print in the US based, Import Tuner Magazine's "Long Shots" section. Nothing major but still happy to have my work appreciated on any level, especially from an oversea's mag. The images is top left, a tuff R32 Skyline shot at WSID "Compac Attak" Event March 09

Trip to a little place called Tasmania...

Well, there are some times i like to take a break from cars and shoot something on a much grander scale. My fiance' and i were invited on a trip to Tassy with my brother and his partner, and as it is known world wide for having some of the nicest landscapes who were we to turn it down.

A misty start to another WSID Test n Tune

Saturday 11/7 saw another Test n Tune day commence at WSID. As i made the effort to get to the track a bit earlier this time i was welcomed by a thick fog that spread over the whole complex. There were already a lot of eager crews out and about getting cars off trailers and prepping to hit the strip.

First feature hits the stands

Today was a good day for me, my first published shoot/feature hit the stands. The feature was on the V6TT Datsun 1200 Ute that i mentioned a few posts back for "Sport Compact Drag Racer" Magazine's issue 3.

How can people be so stupid??

In my normal day to day life i am a retail manager in an automotive spares store, and like all retail stores over the past few years i have had many a customer come back with complaints about products that are apparently faulty, or they had been given the incorrect parts etc...

Steve's R6

A mate of mine purchased this Yamaha R6 a while ago as a bit of a project, the bike had been dropped by the previous owner but structurally and mechanically still sound and had very low K's.

The original plan was to fix up the plastics, give it a new paint job, a quick tidy up and sell it off, but when do things ever go as planned...

WSID Test n Tune wrap up

Saturday 14/6 saw another Test n Tune come and go with some very tuff and well prepared cars improve their PB's, test out new componants and tuning and generally give the cars a good workout in preperation for upcomming bracket meets and of course the eagerly anticipated Fast Fours jamboree in late August.

WSID Test n Tune 14/6

After many attempts to have my days off line up with a WSID test n tune i finally had some luck. Was really good to get out there and have a great selection of cars ready to hit the track.
