111 Mark Porter VZ - ex. PWR 2005 (HRT041)
333 Matthew Hunt AU - ex. DJR (DJR AU9)

The Changes to the Stone Brothers chassis is as a result of more research which has SBR AU1 being the Mark Larkham Car that he took with him when he restarted his own team. AU2 went to Gibson (Forbes), AU3 & AU4 is the ex. PCR cars, AU5 destroyed at Bathurst 2002 & AU6 (Winterbottom Dev Series winning car) to Smerdon in the Touring Car Challenge.

So in the field, there are:

6 x Perkins cars
5 x DJR cars
4 x Briggs cars
3 x SBR cars
2 x Tratt cars
2 x HRT cars
2 x Team Dynamik cars
2 x PWR cars (Falcons)
The rest are single cars.

That car (Harris castrol) is now owned by Rod Lynch & was driven by Gary Macdonald in the '04 KV8S sponsored by kanga loaders. He then went to Ellery's team for the Konica Bathurst that year & in '05....

[M-Kart]

Is that then Chris Pither's Kanga car this year?

[B!tchie Renault]

I would say if Pither's car has a red rollcage, then it will be the ex. Ellery car. If it has he white rollcage, then it may be the ex. Harris car.

I am pretty sure that the fishwrappers talked about using the ex. Ellery car that was also used in Round 1 of the HPDC series in 2005 by Rod McDonald as his BA was damaged in testing just prior to Round 1.

[pete60]

I recall the same...it should be the ex Ellery AU.

Ellery built 2 AUs...anyone know where the other is now?

[bondy_racing]

I'm pretty sure they still have that car. hasnt been used since 2002.

No, the ex Castrol car hasn't raced this year it's based at Albion, just down the road from 888, & is painted white with re striping...

[DAVID PATERSON]

Can anyone tell me what happened to the Caterpillar AU driven by John Bowe in season 2000?

[bondy_racing]

Last i saw of that car was 2004 Konica Series where it was steered by Adam Wallis, at the time it was owned by Ralf Rupprecht out of SA. Not sure if he still has the car or not but i recall he ran into money troubles so may have sold it.

[Peter_Maxwwell]

I think the Decina Racing BA is BA001 (ex Ingall car). BA002 was Ambroses car wasn't it??

Peter,

SBR BA1 & SBR BA2 were both built and debuted at the start of the 2003 season. SBR built BA3 ready as the replacement to Ambrose's car (SBR BA1), but Ambrose wanted to keep his old car. Therefore Ingall ended up with the new car for the 2005 season and SBR BA2 (Ingall's mount for 2003 & 2004) was sold to PCR/Jim Morton for them to run the Decina car in the 2005 Development Series for Warren Luff.

[Marcos Skaife]

Sharpe runs an ex PWR/Howard car here (PWR#5?), as well as the ex PWR and ex Tratt AUs he has in the UK. Howard sold an ex PWR car (#4?) to NZ last year.

Is the PWR car the one that was #27 at Bathurst 04? It came out of a container in Dunedin and was last seen for sale either last year or early this year.

[Peter_Maxwwell]

You're right. I spoke to Jim Morton last night.... it is BA002...

Anyone know the history of the Glen Hastings AU that is currently for sale?

I was at the PCR workshop a couple of years ago and saw the SBR AU05 (the one that was crashed/written off at Bathurst) and they had actually almost finished repairing it!! So maybe this car is still out there somewhere?? From memory it was being repaired for someone who had purchased it....

[pete60]

I believe a guy named Phil Nicholls owns it. He was looking to run it in the HPDC series last year but had no budget. He owns an ex DJR EL unit which he smashed up at Phillip Island a few years ago.

[B!tchie Renault]

On the V8 Supercar website, it listed Phil Nichols AU as an ex. SBR car. Now I know the accuracy of the V8 Supercar site is not very good, but I tried to think of which SBR car he could have.

The only one I thought of was SBR AU2 which was sold to Gibson/Forbes for Lowndes to run. I read in earlier posts that Forbes still owns this car.

It may be AU1 which was owned and run by Mark Larkham initially within SBR then is own operation.

I am open to any more information available to me.

The DJR EL was DJREL8, the car Cameron McLean raced in 99.

[Fairlane GTA]

You should probably add this one, from the entry list for Qld.

43. Chris Alajajian VZ TD002

...and 74 Mark McNally in HRT044 the 2nd D'Alberto entry

[M-Kart]

Grant Denyer should be back in car 81 for Qld Raceway - Luke Youlden was only filling in for him at Wakefield Park due to Grant's TV commitments

[pete60]

I thought that there was some talk earlier in the year that Dean Savage had got himself a new PMM Commodore (Gidget?).

[bondy_racing]

Maybe he spent too much on the car and cant afford to run it??

[mountainstar]

When do the AU's and VY's become obsolete?

From what I have heard he has a VX (#???) that he ran at Clipsal, a VY (#???) that is not complete, and a VZ (TD000).
