| How and when did you start in Motorsport? |
E30 Racing, in 2004 because it was a great way to transfer knowledge of the road car into a race car. Then it all went down hill when all the other Stillwells turned up! |
| Favourite Race Track and why? |
Phillip Island - Cresting the hill on the main straight , then realising you're doing 6000 RPM in top gear! |
| Best moment(s) in motorsport? |
Beating Uncle Nick at Sandown on debut - August 2004. Overtaking Father Mike around the outside of Lukey Heights at Phillip Island - June 2006. |
| Disappointments |
Badly damaging mine and Kylie Pattens race car in Feb 2005 at Calder Park.
Not being able to keep up the E30 Racing whilst studying in QLD.
Mike keeping the fresh tyres for himself at all the race meets! |
| Points of interest / Career highlights |
First E30 Driver to break 2 shift levers - Dec 2005 at Winton & Feb 2006 at Calder.
2006 Victorian Improved Production Late Model Club Champion (beat Mike!)
4th for the Round @ Calder 2007 after 7 months away from E30 Racing, in a car I'd never driven before.
Taking an E30 Racing Car to QLD, and showing how well they can get round corners in Improved Production.
2nd in Class @ 2008 Glenfords Leyburn Sprints (QLD).
Can't wait to get back and have another crack at E30 Racing with a developed & tweaked car. |
