Kixx, that car looks pretty good.

[Dirk]

Definately agree there, good work Kixx!

[stmookeyj033]

Sure puts some other liveries in the shade despite the fact that it is a Holden.

[Antrodemus]

I think a few of the real teams could learn a thing or two about livery design from you, Kixx.

In official matters:

AussieV8 and F|sh, I believe you've both blown the salary cap to the tune of $250,000. You've got until the 17th to change this or else I'll have to bring out the dreaded DSQ!

[AussieV8]

First race to start on Channel 10.

[F|sh]

well due to budget restraints and the fact centrelink wouldnt give us anymore money ambrose has been traded and we welcome john bowe into the team, hopefully with his knowledge adn skillw e might acutally make more this year.

I haven't got the time to figure out the "points" for that, but if anyone else has the time it would be interesting to see...

[Rowdy]

After a promising start at the non-championship Aus GP from the teams No1 driver Jason Bargwanna. Team owner Orrcon King was delighted to announce that Smiley.com have increased their partnership in the team which will now enter the season renamed Smiley Racing The team has also released the striking yet slightly sickening livery to go with the new sponsorship arrangement. The announcement could not have come at a better time since the loss of 'The Paying Public' sponsorship after an unfortunate nightclub incident generated some poor publicity.

The two car team will have seperate liveries to break up the sponsors.

Mazda 929 (v8)
Drivers:
Greg Murphy (Car 14)
Cameron McConville (929)

Mazda Aust, South Sydney Leagues Club,Tooheys Old Beer and State Transit Authority Sydney Buses.

Good luck and go with ZOOM.

Just before the start of the season Greg Murphy has been replaced by Jason Bright to partner Cameron McConville at Rabbit Racing.

Sorry can't add up..... :confused:

ARCHER RACING PRESS RELEASE

Archer Racing is supremely serious about taking the championship flag this year. Post Grand Prix the team has decided to take a different approach to the up and coming first championship round in Adelaide, going from half heart, to full heart.

At the GP Archer Racing rushed to scramble together the remnants of last years team, using outdated cars and making unwise decisions in driver selection in opting for two pay drivers to pilot the teams second and third commodores next to Simon Wills. Unfortunately Tony Longhurst and Warren Luff understood the conditions of their contract. If the team were to acquire funds from elsewhere, meaning pay drivers were not required, they would be dismissed.

Because of Simon Wills’ brilliant effort at the GP Archer Racing has been able to acquire several associate partners for the full championship. With this cash injection, it also means that Archer Racing will also have three brand spanking new VY Commodores in Adelaide, not the hybrids that were at the GP.

Archer Racing would like to thank the following

Titleholder: Archer Enterprises Pty Ltd
Major Partners: Holden, Coopers, Playstation
Minor Partners: Dunlop, Mobil 1, Qantas, PPG, Yamaha, Snap on Tools, NGK

Finally in the teams effort to become more streamline and high profile a new numbering system has been adopted for the Archer Racing triplets. For the remainder of the year the new and exciting Archer Racing line-up is as follows:

#11 Jason Bargwanna
#22 Simon Wills
#33 Jason Richards
