Heathcote Park, Vic/Aus. 9^th March 2015. Top Fuel Bike racer Phil Parker treated the locals with some solid nitro fuel bike action on the weekend at Heathcote Raceway. There with the Parker Racing team, Phil rolled out “Gracie” for a couple of test passes in preparation for the upcoming ANDRA Nitro Champs @ Sydney Dragway in early May. Not having the bike out since November, Parker was keen to get some vital testing into Gracie on the back of a number of recent oil pump modifications. Although some of the oil return issues were still apparent Parker was happy with the day’s work, “had the red light flicker which is connected to various warning alarms but the oil pressure was fine. It was going straight, pulling strong, everything we could dream of. Sydney will be fine” said Parker.Phil Parker aboard "Gracie" getting ready to roll out a pass.
