Welcome to SMART-RACING's Home Page.
A HISTORY OF MY MOTORSPORT EXPERIENCES
FZR 1000 Yamaha
1988 - 1994 Racing mainly at Hidden Valley on the then 2.8 km road racing circuit, I initially raced a CBR 1100 Honda before graduating to an FZR 1000 Yamaha. I held the outright Lap Record on 3 occasions and on the last occasion, I held it for a period of 18 months. I also put in an appearance at Phillip Island (awesome track) and Winton.
1999 Maxim 360 Sprintcar
1995 - 2001 A dream come true, having watched Sprintcars at Speedway City in the early 1980's, I finally had the opportunity to play in one. Over the period of 5 years, raced in Darwin, Katherine and Kununurra (WA). Managed to win a couple of heats, one track record and bags of excitement.
Calibra NASCAR
1999 - 2000 Co managed the Tropical Thunder Motor Sports Group. Primarily utlised the NASCAR's as a race training and ride experience tool so never had the opportunity to go head to head with a full field of these cars. A handful on a circuit track with accelaration up there with a V8 Supercar (lack of brakes at the end of the straight plus left hand driver made it interesting)
1973 HQ Holden
2006 - Present Administrative duties with both the Committee at Northline Speedway and Sprintcars Australia (SCCA), time constraints pulled me towards HQ racing as a fun outlet for the need for speed (well sort of anyway). Definately a lot of fun around the Darwin 2.9 km circuit although the front straight at 1.1 km long can take some time traversing. Competed in the 2006 Australian HQ titles, made it as high as 18th before eletrical gremlins forced me to pull out (now soldered, not crimped)
