V8 Supercar driver hobbies??

Hoffys slot car thread got me thinking.

Anyone share hobbies with any of the V8 Supercar drivers?

I am into r/c aeroplanes. I know that the Kellys have a few R/C models. Also, Mark Webber used to fly model planes.. Ayrton Senna was also into them. In fact back in the early 90's, the current World Champion R/C Precision Aerobatics pilot of the time even said that Senna was so good, he was also capable of reaching the top of the sport.

I know many of the drivers enjoy motocross..

deeks6 User has been fined for unsportsmanlike behaviour!
Lets see - these are the ones I know of:

- The Dude likes to spend dad's money (and eats a bit of it from the look).
- Junior obviously shares his love of all things culinary
- The Walkinshoddys like simple games from the old days - British Bulldog, - Humpo-Bumpo and Pass the Parcel.
- Dean Canto does impersonations of The Rock
- Kim Jones is in a Debating Club (evidently it's massive)
- Bargs and Max evidently ride a bit of trackwork at Doomben
- Mark Skaife does a bit of part-time tracking for the drug squad at the Airports.
- Rusty practices precision driving with a whole heap of Skaife cutouts. Word is he has'nt made it past one yet.
- Natalie had to throw all the kids Lego's out because Craig hates blocks.
- Walkinshoddy dabbles in a bit of finance but it seems his new company Skaise Inc. is not doing too well
- Brad Jones is a gymnastics lover ... so far only perfected the roll.
- Larry Perkins is a Law enthusiast because he failed politics.
- Tony Cochrane loves Switzerland
- Jason Bright is always on the lookout for a nice slow car.

hey, all in fun

According to the 1988 edition of "The Pits":, Tony Longhurst enjoyed making crystal glasses in his spare time...

Maybe that's why he enjoyed a "Root"....?

...Root Beer was a sponsor of that year IIRC....
