Robyn's Rocky Return - Episode 6

This is the final episode of our series. The new race car is finished and Robyn returns to the speedway track after 2 1/2 years. Check out how she goes:

Maryborough cancelled

Maryborough has been called off tonight due to the "low" off the Queensland coast causing lots of wind and rain.

Disappointing! :-(

Oh well. Now we have to wait until 11th January at Archerfield again for some more laps.
Can't wait!

Robyn wins the feature at Archerfield!

Back at our home track for the first time in the new AMCA (and the first time in 2 1/2 years for Robyn), she top qualified through the heats to start the feature off pole, and led home Russell Bonsey and Jim Knight to win the feature.

After finding out last week we had only been running on 7 cylinders, the car was a lot quicker and handled the initial slippery conditions really well.

Results:
Heat 1 - 1st (from position 4)
Heat 2 - 3rd (from position 5)
Feature - 1st

Next meeting - Saturday 29th December at Maryborough

HELP!!! Do know anyone who happened to catch Robyn's feature win on video?
(Our camera decided to pack it in yesterday afternoon.)
If so, please send us a comment or email - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
We will pay good money for it!

Cheers.
:-)

Interesting news for the team

We had a reasonably good weekend at Gympie on Saturday night.

Heat 1: DNS (Couldn't get the car to start in time)
Heat 2: Near the back (after being half spun by somebody - probably due to the wet track)
Heat 3: 1st
Feature: 5th

BUT we found out yesterday the engine has only been running on 7 cylinders for the last two meetings! (We thought it was sounding a bit dead.) :-p

So we've been down on power by about 20 or more horsepower!

Now we can't wait for the next meeting ... Brisbane (Archerfield) on 26 December (Boxing Night).
Bring it on! :-)

Robyn has her first heat win in the new car

Robyn is starting to get back up to speed, with the following results in the new AMCA at Blackwater last Saturday night:

Heat 1: DNF (She was running 2nd when a wire popped off the fuel switch)
Heat 2: 1st
Heat 3: 2nd
Feature: 5th

Next meeting: 15th December Gympie (Mothar Mountain)

We finally hit the track!

Last night we finally had our first race in the new Redline AMCA at Toowoomba speedway. Although it took a while for Robyn to get used to racing a sedan again (her last race was in May 2005, and that was in a Sprintcar), by the end of the feature she was very much on the pace and passed quite a few cars on the last couple of laps. We are very excited about the potential of the new car.

We will post a video up soon ... stay tuned!

Next race meeting will be this coming Saturday night (8th December) at Blackwater, followed by Gympie (Mothar Mountain) on Saturday 15th December. Come and say hi!

:-)

First race meeting next weekend!

Cross fingers, our first race meeting in the new AMCA will be this Saturday (1st December) at Toowoomba! Yay! :-)

I'm looking forward to finally getting on the race track again - it's been WAY too long.

Will put up our full race calendar soon.

Come and say hi at the track!

Robyn

New AMCA ready to race!

Finally! Our new Redline Legend Mach-1 AMCA National is now ready to race.

Check out our new photo slideshow on the right for lots more photos!

We missed the last race meeting because we spent all Saturday with the car on the dyno and found a couple of problems (whining diff, faulty power steering box, etc).

Special thanks to the team at Jarrett Performance & Dyno Tune for looking after us. It was well worth the time and money to sort out our problems before getting to the track. Thanks guys!

AMCA almost ready ... but not quite

Well, we've been trying to get our new Redline Legend Mach-1 AMCA National ready for the big AMCA 5000 40-lap race tomorrow night at Brisbane International Speedway, but unfortunately it doesn't look like we are going to make it on time. We'll keep working on it tomorrow though and see how we go.

(Robyn is frustrated!)

New Video - Sprintcar Highlights BIS 14th April 2007

Here are some highlights from the Sprintcar racing at Brisbane International Speedway for Round 9 of the Comp Cams Series. According to one commentator, "someone has left the red cordial out and these Sprintcar drivers are a little hyperactive!". It shows most of the crashes from the night's racing, and some exciting passing moves and wheel-stands. If I get time over the next few months I'll put it to music. Enjoy ... :-)

Robyn's neck injury starting to heal!

After more than 12 months of physios, chiropractors and other specialists, Robyn's neck is finally starting to improve, and at a rapid rate. She is now back in training to see if her neck will hold up to the rigours of speedway racing. Stay tuned for more details in the next couple of weeks!
