West Australian Transport icons, K-Trans WA have put on the Santa suit early and delivered Boomeracing's Maurice Brennan the use of a new engine in time for his first stab at the famed Top Doorslammer class just before Christmas.
Ecstatic with the partnership, Maurice Brennan now leads a very excited Boomeracing team into their first season that will include their first attempt at running in Top Doorslammer on the first weekend of December, when the ANDRA Pro Series visits the Perth Motorplex.
“We are just so honoured to have K-Trans come on board, and what’s more exciting for me than their financial and infrastructural support, is that K-Trans Racing are straight shooters who wear their heart on their sleeve, they love winning and really giving the fans a great motorsport experience, and that lines up perfectly with the ethos at Boomeracing.”
In response, K-Trans Racing founder, Keith Middleton was equally proud to be associated with the team, sighting the future as looking very bright.
“It will be very interesting to watch the team progress now with some even better resources on hand, and now having ex-Matt Treasure crew Chief, Graeme Clarke joining what is obviously a tight knit team with James Rowland making the tuning calls, it will be a formidable combination at any race I believe,” Middleton said.
Joondalup Carpet Court proprietor, Peter Whiting, was pleased to have had another successful business year, affording his company to partner with Boomeracing again as one of three main co-sponsors.
“This is our third year aboard the World’s Quickest Commodore and we just love it,” he said.
“It’s hard to know if race fans make a connection between drag racing and carpet sales, but for us it’s more about aligning ourselves with a team on a journey to winning at the top level, and the camaraderie within the sport, and that’s what my wife and I love about it.”
According to Crown Integrated CEO, Steve Aldridge, “Our company wouldn’t miss the opportunity to have our logo on that car.”
Steve himself has turned up the heat on his own sportsman racing campaign this year in a 1957 Chevrolet to race in Super Sedan, but attributes his fresh desire to race to the bug that comes from being in the Boomeracing family.
“I have learned so much about the sport from being a part of this family, and to watch their effort be rewarded after such hard work has been great. Maurice is a hell of a driver, and he’s awesome to watch, but I think it’s how the team responds when things don’t go their way that impresses me the most.”
The first chance for fans to view the freshly PPG painted Commodore will be after it comes fresh out of Adaptable Smash Repairs and onto the Perth Motorplex for the season opener on Saturday October 30.
