Dick Johnson Tips And Tricks Website

[ajhh]

Hi guys

I thought you may be interested in a new website by Dick Johnson Racing and Shell Helix, www.tipsandtricks.com.au.

It’s got heaps of user uploaded tips and tricks on everything from engine maintenance to protecting your paintwork…

Also, Dick Johnson is offering the person (along with a mate) who submits the best tip or trick the opportunity to become an honorary member of Dick Johnson Racing’s crew for the final V8 race of the season at Oran Park... so if you’re interested it’s definitely worth a look.

I want to let you know that I’m posting on behalf of Shell Helix, I hope you don’t mind. Reply or PM me if you’ve got any questions, otherwise I hope you get some good advice off the site.

Cheers

Adam

I thought Shell Cut ties with Dick Johnson / DJR a few years ago leaving him with no major sponsors which in turn sent the team broke.....

Shell did not cut ties with DJR. After many years (near on 20) they, for corporate reasons, no longer wanted to be the major sponsor. DJR still carry Shell signage & are supported by Shell, albeit in a minor capacity.

The dodgy fkrs who caused the trouble were Westpoint. DJR (& a heap of others) got done over by this lot. It left them to largely self finance their operations for a year (With money from V8 Telecom & Firstrock mortgages) which caused alot of problems, not withstanding the problems directly attributable to Westpoint. Dick had to sell alot of his assets to keep things on a half reasonable basis.

Anyway they look to be on the up with new money from a 50% stakeholder, Jim Beam signed up as a major sponsor for the next 3 years & James Courtney to drive for them next year. FG chassis' will be by 888.
