Australian Holden vs Ford Championship.

Obviously I love the V8’s. Whilst I’ll shake my head and wonder how many of the decisions are made, I keep coming back for more.

Otherwise, I love going to the cricket or watching Carlton play. The MCG is fantastic! Would spend a lot more time there if the rest of life didn’t get in the way.

Love catching up with my mates. Always have a ball. Whether it be over poker, playing golf or going away together, it’s always a great time.

I have no talent mechanically but love watching the action of the V8’s. The noise and rumble is always a thrill at the track. It’s a shame the V8’s had to go to E85, I miss them breathing fire.

On the Dump, I write some of the previews and stories you read. The chance to go and interview drivers and team owners is always great, shame the stars don’t align more often for chances. It’s great to come to the dump and chat and dissect all the racing and action involved in the series.

Hi everyone, it’s V8SGR8. The pic, ‘team Bright’, is myself & my 2 kids Jaz & Mitch at Clipsal last year. We attend every year, along with my sister, for the full 4 days.

General admission, CBC corner, mixin’ it (read in to that ‘stirring’) with the Holden mob, fast cars, fumes, Bourbons and music….wouldn’t have it any other way ;)

I’m a FORD girl through & through! The first ford I recall Dad having was a Prefect and from there it’s been – XL, XM, XT, XB, XC, XD

My brother’s had a couple – XW & XC, and then sadly moved on to Holdens. CRAZY! There’s even been a couple of Cortinas in there somewhere.

I’ve had an XF, currently have an EF so I suppose next it’ll be a BF? Really want a manual XR8 in purple! Not so easy to find.

I love motorsport, cars, motorbikes and the open road. I don’t mind gettin’ grease under my nails and became expert at replacing XF door handles. My previous home had a 20x30 shed with pit so I used to do my own oil changes and change simple things like plugs, leads, alternators, petrol & water pumps, radiators, etc. My first car was a 2nd hand Austin mkII with east-west motor for $150. It didn’t take long B 4 the motor blew so my dad taught me how to recondition a motor. Now a days it’s too complicated under the bonnet, and with no shed, I leave it to the experts.

I remember the days of Rowley Park & luckily we still have Mallala, Speedway City and a few other country tracks for racing.

I’d love to go to Bathurst with the kids & my dream is to get to every race of the season in one year. So, until then it’s Clipsal, and clear the calendar every V8 race weekend & sloth out in front of the TV.

Good luck to all teams in 2010, enjoy the racing fellow Dumpsters and watch those FORDS win!

PS I believe Frosty, Courtney & Van Gis will be stand-outs this season.

Most types of racing especially V8’s, Saloons, Historics and Speedway. Having been and watched the V8’s race at Lakeside, Bathurst and since moving to Perth we have not missed a round of the V8 Supercar championships. When we lived in outback Queensland we were heavily involved with speedway where I raced an LJ Torana in Street Sedans, I even won Rookie of the Year in the class.

Matt and I love to travel whether overseas, local even going for a drive in the country looking for garage sales or antique and collectable shops. We try to attend as many of the car shows that are on in the WA area whether in Perth or out of town, we have met so many interesting people. The same with racing, we are always heading down to Kwinana Motorplex for speedway or up to Wanaroo for racing. And this year we are back in racing after purchasing a AU Falcon Saloon car from Victoria to race the Saloon Car class at Wanaroo, we cannot wait. It is something that we have missed doing for many years. Just got to find Matt some good sponsors now.

The photo is of me sitting in Brighty’s Falcon after the race on Sunday at Wanaroo this year.
