Preparation for Cairns - Qld Title

19/5/09
Rodney has sourced all the engine parts he requires for the re-build after damaging the engine at Maryborough on the 3rd May. After a marathon effort in the shed Monday night, the engine will be sealed Tuesday night and hopefully be put in the car so it can hit the dyno later this week.

23/5/09
Following a mammoth week in the shed, the engine is finally running and has been on the dyno with good results. A big thanks Jethro for the late nights to help get the engine together. With one week left before the team heads off, there's still plenty to do to get the car ready and all the spares loaded. Looks like another big week ahead.

27/5/09
The finishing touches are being done to the car over the next 2 days so everything can be loaded on Friday for the race team to depart on Saturday morning. We will endeavour to add updates to the site while up in Cairns. Please check back again for updates.

About Us

At the end of season 2004/2005 Rocket Rodney Pammenter made the decision to step up from the local club car ranks and join a national class, so he sold the Sprint Sedan that he had competed in for a number of seasons to make the move to Modified Production.

Once the Sprint Sedan was sold he spent the 2005/2006 season building a VS Commodore to run in the Modified Production class.

The big task of building a car from scratch, along with a new division to compete in, and a new level of competition presented Rodney with a new challange. A challenge that proved to be very exciting.

The first season in the new class got off to a disasterous start with the brand new car almost destroyed in a big roll-over at Brisbane International Speedway in only it's 2nd ever outing. But, not to be deterred, the car was rebuilt and the season ended well with a lot of learning done throughout the season. It was a fun season of racing and travelling and we are looking forward to doing it again in season 2007-2008.

Charlton Raceway is our home track.
