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."

    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
    • I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
    • More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.
    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
