Disaster!  After top qualifying at the Western Nationals, we dropped a valve and detonated the engine at 1050 feet (5.5 secs) into the run.  The block, pistons, rods and valves, crank and numerous other bits are scrap metal.  Little can be recovered, so a new engine is required.

After a season where we top qualified 5 times from 6 appearances and made 3 final appearances it was a sad ending.  With 20 wins from 27 runs it has been a highly succesful season and given our supporters great exposure.   The Perth based season has prematurely ended and plans to run in Victoria, NSW and Qld shelved.

Now we pack the transporter and head back home to regroup for next season.  We’ll be asking our supporters to dig deep and hunt for more companies wishing to advertise their products or services on SA’s most successful Supercharged Outlaw team running on the national stage.
