00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,200

Speaker 3: Yeah, Perth or is an awesome one. The usually the

14
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 3: event turns it on. The track's really cool for racing

15
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 3: and the fans come out in heaps. So looking forward

16
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 3: to the weekend, I think it's going to be awesome.

17
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 4: Well, I think Perth's been good for you. Will your

18
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 4: teammate Will Davison one in Perth last year. Are you

19
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,319
Speaker 4: confident you guys can make it too in a row

20
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 4: for Shelby Racing.

21
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had some.

22
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: Good success here last year.

23
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 3: Obviously this year with the new cars and everything. The

24
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: form guide and what to expect is a bit harder

25
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 3: to predict. So we're hoping that we can get some

26
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: good results and roll out of the truck. But we'll

27
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 3: have yet history says we go pretty good here, so

28
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 3: we'll hopefully continue that form.

29
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's not the start of the season

30
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: you would have loved anton, but you just remain positive

31
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: in the whole team, and that includes those in the

32
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: pit's working hard on the cars. You keep that positivity going,

33
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: don't you.

34
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's it's bored. It's not meant to be easy,

35
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 3: and when you change so much, you can't just expect

36
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 3: is to take off or you're left off. But it's

37
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: always when you got good people and good teams and

38
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: stuff to keep fighting and you work the way forward.

39
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: So we did that from the first round of the

40
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: second round. We made a massive improvement. So we're looking

41
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: to do more of that all the way through next

42
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: this year and and off into the future. So everyone,

43
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 3: no one's sitting still. We're working hard. The life of

44
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 3: the workshop hardly turn off, so everyone everyone's fighting for it,

45
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: which is cool.

46
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 4: The other thing that's looking really good is the weather,

47
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, I don't like driving in the web.

48
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: But is that just me? Does it make a huge

49
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: difference to yours? It's just like gone. It might be

50
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: a bit slower, but it really doesn't make any difference.

51
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: I think it.

52
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: Depends on how you go on before that. If you're

53
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 3: going awesome, you don't want it to rain, but having

54
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 3: a shock but of rain can help you. So you

55
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 3: never really want to want rain. But if it does rain,

56
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: we've got a new wet tie which revenus properly yet

57
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: so I've been kind of exciting and we haven't raised

58
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: these times in the wet so you don't really know

59
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 3: what's expect. At some point everyone's going to be looking

60
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: forward to one of those. Okay, but perth yea, it

61
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: doesn't rain that often.

62
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 4: It does a little bit rain a week and then

63
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 4: it's going to find out for you on the weekend,

64
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: so you won't get to yeah.

65
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 3: That way, which is good because you don't want people

66
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 3: standing in the crowd getting wet and a little bit.

67
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's good.

68
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: We'll have Lisa on standby and with the ready for

69
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: tie us action night.

70
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: We're we all good sons. Good.

71
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: How did it start for you? Did you start in

72
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: carts or how about you with that love bit of

73
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: driving fast?

74
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? For me, I started as a young fella on

75
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 3: on motorbikes on the farm, just riding around, and then

76
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: as some paddic bashes and then got into go cart

77
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: after crash on my motorbike. Mum thought I'd do something

78
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: a little bit safer and then into cars from there.

79
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, back in cars really was the main one.

80
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is it.

81
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 4: I always think of the mums of people that go

82
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 4: really fast and cars.

83
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: Does she handle it? Okay?

84
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mum's awesome, She loves it. She comes the most races.

85
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 3: Her and dad travel around and enjoy the racing now,

86
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: which is really cool. So I mean, I'm sure they

87
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: worry and everything, but they don't tell me that, so

88
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: it's fine.

89
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: I mentioned in It's Australia's oldest racing team. You know

90
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: that teammate in Queensland, Dick Johnson racing the legend himself,

91
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: is in his mid seventies. Now. Does he hand down

92
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: some worldly advice, some track advice to you guys.

93
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dick's got a bit of wisdom that he give

94
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: you every day, which is good. But yeah, he's awesome.

95
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: He's at the workshop most days, he comes to most races,

96
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: and if he's not there or he's doing something else,

97
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: he's texting and calling you about it. So he's just

98
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: as passionate as ever from what I can see, but

99
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: he's also having a track. He is someone that can

100
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: help reseat on a bad day and let you know.

101
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: When you've done a good job, which is cool. I'm curious.

102
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: Obviously you are a huge car person.

103
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 4: Now, if money was no option, what if you could

104
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 4: have any any car in the world, even tho it

105
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 4: was one of those ones that they just made a

106
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: half a dozen of, you know, what would it be.

107
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

108
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 3: I've never had to be in that position where money

109
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: is no option.

110
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: I just dream. I think I would go.

111
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 3: I'd go classic before I go Neway, like an old

112

114
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 3: really rare sort of collectors that are awesome. Yeah, that's

115
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: for I would look for.
