PORTERS RACING READY FOR WINTERS GOLD

PORTERS RACING READY FOR WINTERS GOLD

The Porters Racing team from Mackay Qld has had some time away from the race track in the past season or so, but the Family team is happy to tell that they are making the trip to Willowbank Raceway for the 51^st Gulf Western Oils Winternationals, and they aren’t coming just to make numbers.

Team Owner Paul Porter said “ This is the 18th Winternationals event we competed in, with 11 of these years in the very competitive Pro Stock category. Unfortunately we weren’t in a position to do all rounds throughout the season, but will be treating this round very seriously with the aim of a 400 Thunder Gold Christmas Tree “.

 

“ Since the January round at Willowbank, the car has been totally pulled apart from top to tail. The engine has been fully refreshed and John Barbagallo has worked around the clock extracting every little bit of horsepower out of this engine . We originally intended to debut our new JB engine at this meeting , but with fuel changes on the horizon, decided to work with our number 2 engine, but with many changes”  commented Team Driver Scott Porter.
 

A huge effort has gone into the clutch, transmission and chassis so the team is looking to find a baseline early at the Winters Warm up (June 2-3) with the refreshed set up and extra horsepower.
 

Paul and Scott would like to thank John Barbagallo of JB Automotive Nth Qld for his continued support , expertise and dedication with our engine program.
Thanks also to Paul Drady of Plucka’s Race Craft for his chassis assistance .
To our crew of Jason & Terry Hethorn, John McIntosh and newbie Kellie Aislabie. We thank you for the hard work that keeps our car out on the track .
We invite all fans and supporters to drop in and see us in the pits and share this experience.
