If the old adage is true that hard work will get you the things you desire, the team at McAllan Motorsport is not far away from good things.

We raced at Kwinana on the 21^st of Jan and then headed for Parramatta, Sydney.  We lined up for the Champion of Champions full of confidence even though the car was slightly down on power. Dene drove the wheels of the car only to have engine failure take us out in the second heat while leading.   

The team worked hard all week having only one day off to get both cars fully prepared for round 4 of the SSS. Once again we had one of those nights. Dene went out for time trials in the second group only to watch the track come in and be pushed down to around high 20’s in time. Dene did all he could to get two 3^rd placings in his heats but that still put him in the B main. As the lights went green our night was over, the engine had some problem and we were back to the drawing board for the Aussie title.  

The team had a little time to play tourists but we were firmly set on getting up the front in the big one. Night one of the title was a good one, with excellent racing and a great feeling in the pits. It has to be any Motorsport fans heaven with that much high-class equipment to be seen. We finished the night in ninth position and very happy.

Night two was once again great racing, Dene finished 3^rd in his heat even with a broken left rear shock. He qualified 8^th overall out of 60 cars, which is a great achievement in its self. Unfortunately we had the old motor in, which is a little down on hp now, and we didn’t get the set up right on the track that we finished with. Dene finished on the board as 14^th . 

Congratulations to Davey Ray and the Steve Smith team on a great win. 

The McAllan Motorsport team would like to thank Ben Weise and his family for making our trip that little bit more enjoyable. We would also like to thank our extended family for all their help and support over the two weeks we were in Sydney. We would also like to thank the Graham family and wish Steven a speedy recovery. See you in Mildura.
