 One of the busiest seasons for Brisbane based drag racing team, Stuart Bishop Racing will wind up during Willowbank Raceway’s Castrol EDGE Winternationals showpiece on June 8-10.But even before Stuart Bishop shoots down the quarter mile strip for a shot at a coveted Winternationals crown, he’ll be on hand to unveil the winners of the inaugural Wallace Bishop Jewellers photographic competition at the Ipswich Art Gallery on Wednesday June 6. There’s bound to be quite a few anxious photographers among the 20 finalists in the Amateur and Professional categories, who are all in the running to win cash and some magnificent prizes to the value of $20 000 courtesy of Wallace Bishop Jewellers. Of course the overall winner across all categories will take home a half carat 50-point diamond, similar to the one encrusted into the roof of Bishop’s ’67 Camaro Diamond Doorslammer. “It’s an exciting time for everyone involved in drag racing and I congratulate all the finalists in the Wallace Bishop Jewellers Photographic competition who are already being displayed in a public exhibition at the Ipswich Art Gallery,” said Bishop. “Of course this was our first foray into providing an interactive opportunity for drag racing fans and we hope to grow the competition into a very significant component of the 2007/08 ANDRA Australian drag racing season. “Drag racing is rich in culture and sporting passion and as can be seen by all the finalists contributions there is a definite air of excitement and character associated with this form of motorsport.” Exciting also has been a recent studio shoot conducted in Brisbane where the full ensemble of Stuart Bishop Racing vehicles were polished up and presented in a most sophisticated manner. These newest additions, a replica ’67 Camaro street car and Murray Anderson Designed – MAD Chopper, provide a classy accompaniment to Bishop’s stylish Murray Anderson built ’67 Camaro Diamond Doorslammer, which was judged the best engineered car at last year’s Castrol EDGE Winternationals. The Stuart Bishop Racing presence during the 40th Castrol EDGE Winternationals is bound to turn heads and make for an exciting and highly successful three days of racing over the Queen’s Birthday weekend. On the racing front, Bishop realises it will be a real acid test in competition as he strives to make it through to the final eliminations field of eight among 21 confirmed starters for the Winternationals. That hasn’t been a problem during the past two events where the World’s fastest jeweller has won through to eliminations on the strength of competitive personal best performances. “Much needed rain fell over Willowbank Raceway on the day of our scheduled test day, but I’m sure after a few early runs we’ll have a handle on things at the Castrol EDGE Winternationals,” added Bishop. “The entire crew is excited at how the season has progressed and this is the one event where everyone involved in drag racing aspires to be at their best. “We’ve shown in the past that we can match it with the heavyweights in Top Doorslammer so with a bit of luck on our side anything is possible.” 2007 CASTROL EDGE WINTERNATIONALS – JUNE 8-10 Entry List - Jack Daniel's Top Doorslammer Mark Bardsley, Ray Bernard, Stuart Bishop, Ben Bray, Victor Bray, Deno Brijeski, Maurice Fabietti, Paul Greghini, Robin Judd, Peter Kapiris, Peter Lovering, Aaron Lynch, Sean Mifsud, Steve Packman, Kym Petterwood, Gary Phillips, Steve Stanic, Brett Stevens, Kath Stevens, Andrew Sutton, John Zappia Racing Includes: Redcliffe Dyno and Performance Top Fuel, Motorsport Connections Top Alcohol, Jack Daniel's Top Doorslammer, Travelaire Tours Pro Stock, Morgan & Wacker Top Bike, QT Pro Stock Motorcycle, Lifestyle Carpets & Vinyls Competition, Lifestyle Carpets & Vinyls Super Stock, Morgan & Wacker Competition Bike, Carpenter Ford Supercharged Outlaws, Bailey's Brake & Clutch Modified, Ultimate Financial Group Super Sedan, Torque's Cheap Performance & Wholesale Cars Super Street, Wolf Racing Power Products Modified Bike, Queensland Diesel Spares Junior Dragster, Powercruise 1 Day Powerplay Super Gas, Morgan & Wacker Screamin' Eagle Harleys, Perfect Print Light of the Night TICKETING Adult Friday Admission $40 Saturday Admission $45 Sunday Admission $45 3-Day Pass $120 Student (must show ID) Friday Admission $30 Saturday Admission $35 Sunday Admission $35 3-Day Pass $90 Children 13 & under are admitted free Program Friday 8th Qualifying 8am -9pm Saturday 9th Qualifying 8am -9pm Sunday 10th Racing 8.00am with feature racing from 2.15pm Internet sites www.willowbank-raceway.com.au Ticketing and General Information: Contact – Willowbank Raceway 07 5461 5461 Website: www.stuartbishopracing.com.au |
