The Story So Far

Finding a place to start this story is a difficult one. So I will being with a quick history lesson.
I first started racing at age 20,way back in 1989. I raced my modest street car, a Hillman Hunter with a GT motor. It was pretty slow to start with, I only got to race at Baskerville, near Hobart. I started off doing 1min20sec lap times and finished 4 years later doing 1.08's. Compared with the pace setters who were doing 1.02's. Not bad for a car that wasn't build for speed. A crash while testing in 94' ended the Hunter days and Ive had to wait 12 long years to be back to doing what I love. In the mean time Ive had to content with computer games with Sim's like GTR, rfactor, Nascar Racing etc. None of which, I might add, even come close to the real thing.

Fast foward to 2005. My first trip to Bathurst. Not to watch the 1000, but to drive the circuit, something I had wanted to do for years. I didnt want to leave. I lost count of the amount of times I went round. As I was going round, I was saying to myself, "I have to race here, someday, in anything".

Which leads us today.... almost. I was looking for a car to start racing again and was put in contact with Stuart at Benson Motorsport. He helped me get a car which we got in Jan 06' and started racing at club days before the first race meeting in Oct 06'.
