TEAM BRAY HEAD BACK TO TOWNSVILLE FOR THE LAST HURRAH
Fresh from their on track entertainment duties at the recent Townsville
Sucrogen 400 V8 Supercar round, Victor and Ben Bray will head back to
Townsville this weekend for the 2012 Trevor Mobbs Memorial Slamfest round.
The event will thrill what is expected to a huge crowd at the popular
strip who will be keen to see Group One racing at its best. The field
includes 3 other A.N.D.R.A. pro series regulars in Maurice Fabietti, Peter
Kapiris and Gary Phillips, Victor and Ben will have to be on their game
from the 1st qualifying session if they are to end up squaring off at
the tree against each other in the final.
With both Victor's '57 Chevy and Ben's Monaro CV8Z currently getting faster
every time they hit the track. They both run very consistent at the recent
Winternationals, Victor 6.007 @235.15 and Ben 5.877 @241mph. This weekend
the two Sidchrome slammers should lay down some respectable numbers on
the Townsville strip.
Victor Bray said "Unfortunately this will be our last race at
this venue. Urban sprawl has caught up with the track. This track was
a World War II US airstrip until the Mobbs family got hold of it in the
mid 70's. Trevor Mobbs was a real forward thinking man and got drag racing
going in the north of Queensland. This event will no doubt be the biggest
ever at this track and I am very happy that it is named after Trevor,
it is just a shame it will probably be one of the last".
Ben Bray said "I am really looking forward to this. I have never
raced my Top Doorslammer in Townsville. I have listened to so many of
Dad's story's when back in the Wild Bunch days they used to do a circuit
taking in Gladstone, Mackay and Townsville, so I feel like I have been
down the track a 100 times.
We have got a lot of Facebook fans in northern Queensland so I hope they
all get off their computers and are track side on Saturday because we're
planning to put on a big show".
If you would like to catch up with Ben and Victor before the Slamfest
event, the Team Bray road show will be at Tony Ireland Russco, 54 Duckworth
St, Garbutt between 10am and 1pm on Friday.
