hahah I voted for him because I'd love to see aussie drivers follow their dreams....but its a bit rich to say he is the best young driver ever to race in aus.

in my experience the best drivers probably never got a single race start, and the next 50% of great young drivers can't afford more than a single season. some good young drivers have the budget to keep going, so good luck for him.

Thanks Drunken....

Neil I'm curious as to who you could of voted for that will actually have a shot at winning (the driving phase, not this "dancing with the stars" part..)

Crashing is part of racing, although 19 podiums from 20 races and 12 wins in 2009 shows we don't crash...

the most damage from 2009 so far has been 2 BIG stone chips on the nose box... oh they came from the GT-R safety car while following it at Winton :O

Now nominated for South Australian Sports Star of the Year 2009

come and support the only driver to be nominated, and help motor racing get over all the ball sports!!!

"The 21-year-old's move from Adelaide to Melbourne, to be closer to his Formula Ford team, Sonic Motor Racing Services, paid big dividends with the Flagstaff Hill youth winning the 2009 Australian Championship.

Nick won 12 races this year bringing his national total to 22 wins, breaking a 15-year-old record and giving him more wins than Mark Webber, the Brabham brothers, Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup COMBINED!!!

Lowndes, Whincup and Garth Tander were past Formula Ford Champions."

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
