Season Wrap Up

Posted on November 23, 2011 at 7:00 AM

Better late than never I always say! With the 2010/2011 season completed just over a couple of months ago one could wonder why it has taken so long to get to the important task of the season wrap up report. There is a simple answer, I have been busy planning and working

on a new engine combo for the Vhodoo Racing Monaro. I have a Supercharged 525ci Big Block Chevrolet well underway to replace the old normally aspirated engine. The new motor will mean a move from the Super Sedan category to the popular Supercharged Outlaws Bracket

.

2011/2011 season has been a very good season for the Vhodoo Race Team. We pulled off a win and a couple of quarter final appearances and went more rounds of racing than we ever have. The car was seen on the One HD televising of the Western Nationals meeting with the Gardner Broz in car video footage featuring heavily. There was a very nice photo of the car in the Motorplex program and a small article in the West Australian Motoring Section. Another nice photo appeared in Dragster Australia Magazine.

As always I need to thank my Sponsors for their continued support, Genie Exhaust, Hitachi Construction Equipment, Donaldson Australia, Allfast Torque Convertors, Embleton Engineering and Engine Protection Equipment. All of these companies provide the support that greatly helps to keep the dream alive.

 

Special thanks also to my crew, Steve, Clinton and Fiona. To my boys Nic and Luc for the great video and all the help they give me and to my partner Janice for her support and help.

 

We are working very hard to get the car to the track for the start of the new season, the engine has been dummied up in the car and it looks awesome. Please keep an eye on the web site for updates and I will also slot a few pics in where I can.

 

Looking forward to seeing you at the track.
