THAILAND: AXCR RALLY 2019 – Pattaya Kart Speedway

Some time in late July I received a message from my older brother (who has no interest in cars) advising me that he was helping out with the Asia Cross Country Rally (AXCR). He was really light on details but told me it would be a once in a life time opportunity and to book […]

CORPORATE GAMES: Go Karting 2015

It’s that time of year again and the DWS team have kindly asked me back to compete with them for the 2015 Corporate games. During one of the race heats, a crash happened between two karts and which required a forklift to fix the barriers. Our division was set up across 4 heats. First up was […]

Cake, Carts and half a CRX

After picking Peter up on Saturday night from the airport, we made plans to arrive early the next day in Brunswick for Day of the Donut. We were greeted to this ridiculous line at 9am and after refusing to wait, headed over to help the other half of Team Rattlesnake. Tom required assistance lifting his […]

SINGAPORE: An EXE wedding and more go karting.

After Legoland, we caught a taxi from Malaysia to Singapore. The actual reason we had all come on this overseas trip was for Kenny’s wedding in Singapore. In the 5 hours we had to kill between the lunch time ceremony and the reception, I went shopping and managed to score this lot. JP was pretty […]

MALAYSIA: Johor Bahru – Go Karts and Lego Hotel

After 4 days in Borneo, it was time to fly back west to Johor Bahru, a Malaysian city which borders Singapore. In a perfectly timed rendezvous, Pete and his wife Margot arrived 10 minutes after us via taxi from Singapore to join us for the festivities. While we waited to check into our hotel, Pete […]

SYDNEY: Remembering the Buster

It’d been a few months since I’d last been in Sydney so when Pete messaged that he was throwing a party for his 15th year relationship anniversary I was more than happy to fly up for the festivities! On Saturday morning we hit up Narada’s cafe, John Montagu, with John, Simon, Phuoc and Pete. As […]

Corporate Games: Go Karting 2014

After a disappointing last few years of being a Silver medalist, I was determined that I was finally going to do the team and myself right this year. Nothing makes me as nervous as racing for the boys and girls at DWS because rather than letting just myself down, it means letting an entire team […]

Pretty Perry and Eastern Creek Karts

Since purchasing Perry, it had always annoyed me that he was never optioned with the factory spoiler. I’m not one for body kits and the like but I do enjoy a good oem add on. After trawling gum tree for 30 minutes, I found a spoiler for sale on a wreck in Brisbane. $75 and […]

Super Fun Track Long Weekend: Part 4 – The capital and karts

After the track day, it was time to head into town to rinse our cars off and get some food. However, after stopping at the car wash, one of our cars decided not to start again. While JP and Tony got to work with fixing the starter motor… We staged an impromptu photo shoot. Napo […]

East Coast Tour: Sunshine, Simpson’s and Starlet’s.

A few weeks ago, I was off to Brisbane for work purposes. The hotel choice was awesome. With views over looking the Brisbane Wangan. Given that there are more Japanese people in Brisbane than in Melbourne, I always look forward to going to eat Japanese food when I’m there. Taro’s Ramen did not disappoint. Freaking […]
