Some people leave behind trophies. Others leave behind a legacy.

Tony Marks was both.

A two-time Australian Powerboat Champion in the 6 Litre and 7.5 Litre classes, Tony wasn’t just known for driving boats—he was known for building the engines that powered them. At one stage, it would have been hard to walk through the Tasmanian inboard pits without finding an engine that had passed through his workshop. His knowledge, attention to detail and ability to extract horsepower from anything were second to none.

His final race boat was Patriot, and it was his last hoorah. He’d wanted that boat from the moment he first laid eyes on it. Before owning it, he’d already spent years building and maintaining engines for its previous owner. But once Patriot became his, it didn’t stay the same for long.

In true Tony Marks fashion, he teamed up with Jamie Magor and out came the old combination and in went one of his own. A new camshaft package, a new bigger supercharger bolted on, and just like that Patriot picked up an incredible 18 mph. That’s what separated Tony from the rest—he didn’t guess, he knew. His experience and understanding of engines were built over decades, and the results spoke for themselves.

To many, he was the bloke you went to when you wanted an engine that would run hard and keep running. To those who knew him personally, he was much more than that.

He had a dry, straight-from-the-hip sense of humour. If you asked for his opinion, you’d get it—whether you wanted to hear it or not. His insults were legendary, usually delivered with perfect timing and a grin that let you know he’d already won the conversation. You never had to wonder where you stood with Tony, and that’s something that’s hard to find these days.

His workshop, his stories, his horsepower, and his unmistakable personality left a mark on Tasmanian powerboat racing that won’t be forgotten.

The engines will keep firing, the boats will keep racing, but there will only ever be one Tony Marks.

His knowledge is deeply missed.
His humour is deeply missed.
And the sport is better because he was part of it.

Trevor Green – One of Australia’s Toughest Speedway Racers, and our precision magnesium welder !

Before many knew him as a respected fabricator and welder, Trevor Green had already earned a reputation as one of Australia’s finest Sprintcar drivers.

Hailing from Adelaide, Trevor made the transition from Speedcars to Sprintcars and quickly proved he belonged with the best. In 1996 he claimed his first World Series Sprintcars feature race victory at Speedway City, calling it the biggest win of his career at the time.

Just a year later, the Adelaide welder etched his name into Australian speedway history by winning the prestigious 1997 Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic at Warrnambool in his very first attempt. Driving the family’s low-budget No. 4 car, he defeated some of the biggest names in Australian Sprintcar racing in what remains one of the Classic’s most memorable victories.

Over a career spanning hundreds of races, Trevor became known for his smooth driving style, consistency, and determination. He regularly challenged for major events, finished runner-up at the Australian Sprintcar Championship in 2009, recorded strong results in the Australian Sprintcar Nationals, and was consistently recognised among Australia’s top Sprintcar drivers.

Away from the racetrack, Trevor built an equally respected reputation as a welder and fabricator. His craftsmanship, attention to detail and work ethic reflected the same qualities that made him successful behind the wheel.

Trevor Green represents everything great about Australian speedway/motorsport hard work, humility, determination and letting results speak louder than words. A true South Australian legend.

Thank you Trevor!

This past weekend, we had Clayton fly over from Tasmania to Adelaide as preparations continue for our return to the water.

The weekend was spent carrying out a thorough inspection of the boat, including crack testing the driveline, checking over the V-drive gearbox, inspecting the steering system, and going through all of the rigging and fit-out components to ensure everything is race-ready.

We’ve also continued developing our enclosed cooling system to achieve the optimum operating temperature for our all-aluminium engine. Alongside that, further work has been carried out on the fuel system as we fine-tune the new combination.

We’re now eagerly awaiting the arrival of the final parts before the Pontiac engine can be dyno tested and fitted back into the boat.

The excitement is definitely building, and we can’t wait to get back on the water, put all the hard work to the test, and enjoy doing what we love!

It’s been a quiet few months off the water for the Patriot Blown Alcohol Displacement Race Team following our racing in January, but behind the scenes the workshop has been anything but quiet.

Over the past months we’ve been hard at work developing our new all-aluminium Pontiac Big Chief engine package, with a huge amount of research, development, going into every part of the build as we prepare for the next chapter of the team.

The engine,is now nearing the next major milestone — dyno testing and engine setup — where we’ll continue refining the combination and gathering valuable data as part of the ongoing R&D process.

We’re expecting the new package to produce in excess of 2000 horsepower, and we’re excited to see the results as development continues.

A massive amount of effort has gone into getting the team back to this point after January’s setback, and we’re looking forward to sharing more updates as we move closer to returning to the water.

As a team, we would also like to thank Bob Fisher Superchargers Rhemac Machine Shop, Trevor Green from Greens Welding Solutions for their support throughout this project. The support plays a massive role in helping programs like ours continue to move forward.

After the challenges we faced following January, the support from our sponsors, family, friends, and followers has played a huge role in helping keep this moving forward.

Building and developing a competitive blown alcohol displacement program takes an enormous amount of time, effort, and commitment, and we are incredibly grateful to have businesses and people backing what we do both on and off the water.

Stay tuned — the next stage is going to be exciting.

Thank you - Clayton Marks.
