Willowbank Raceway Street Series RD2 didn’t quite go to plan tonight.

Conditions weren’t the best, so no PBs, best qualifying pass was a 14.45. Dialled in at 14.40 for a RD1 finals rematch against Matty Barron, but unfortunately the car ran a 14.57 which handed him the win and levels us up at 1–1.

Plenty to take away from it though, we’ll get another crack at each other and I’ll be looking to redeem that one.

On a better note, the starter team Merchant Family Racing had a solid night with Dean making it to the semi-finals, so he’s got bragging rights this round with the most laps under his belt.

All in all still a good night. Lesson for the kids (and me) you win some, you lose some… and tonight we drew the short straw.

All cleaned up, waxed and loaded, ready for tomorrow night’s Street Series

The FG’s looking a lot more presentable now and ready to hit the track.

Picked up a few new toys for the FG today.

Gave it a proper wash — turns out cars don’t clean themselves if you ignore them long enough.

Started giving it some love with the polisher and compound, taking it slow and working panel by panel. Already starting to bring the paint back to life. Especially doing it for the first time.

Wheels could definitely be better, but past me decided to buy the most annoying ones to clean… cheers for that.

Keen to see how it comes up once it’s all finished. Nothing beats seeing the shine come back.

Few changes made to the car ahead of the next Street Series

Swapped a new cat back on and it’s already feeling a bit torquier, With cooler night temps coming in, it should be a solid combo.

Also knocked over a front wheel bearing definitely not something you want letting go halfway down the track.

Next event is on 11/4, and the goal is simple… crack into the 13s and set a new PB

Guess the photo speaks for itself, made my way into the Willowbank Raceway newsletter, pretty chuffed to be honest.

🏁 FIRST WIN OF THE SEASON 🏁
Archers Smash Repair Street Series – Round 1
📍 Willowbank Raceway

Not the easiest day by any stretch — high temps, a car that wasn’t always consistent, and plenty of adapting between runs… but we got it done 💪

Stayed focused, made the right calls when it mattered, and locked in the first win of the season. Super proud to kick things off this way despite the challenges thrown at us.

Massive thanks to Merchant Family Racing for the support — it genuinely makes a difference. On to the next round with momentum and motivation

You’ll see:
• Track days at Willowbank 🏁
• Honest results (good and bad)

No hype — just learning, building, and going faster each pass.

If you’re into Falcons, drag racing, or backyard-built cars getting sent, you’re in the right place 🤝

Stay tuned.
