During the 5 seasons in the V8 Dirt Modified, Todd was the highest point scorer in South Australia for 3 successive seasons and was very competent Australia wide. Todd returned to racing speedway again in 2008 in Wingless Sprints (formerly NOS Sprints) in its inaugural season in South Australia.

Unfortunately Covid-19 has once again interfered with WRT going racing. With the Darwin trip now cancelled, unfortunately we will need to wait a little longer before we hit the track.

Yay we’re going racing again!!

We take the current world events seriously but we wouldn’t be Aussies if we didn’t have a bit of lighthearted fun with it too...

SA Speedcars had, what they call their Blackjack round at the Murray Bridge Speedway over the weekend and they incorporated the Salute Toilet Paper Challenge; where the Top 3 winners score a carton of Salute branded toilet paper, making it the richest Speedcar race in Australia 🤩

Salute being a long term sponsor of the SA6 Hardwyer Motorsport Team, we were super proud that one of the POOdium winners was the one and only Paul Murphy! Congratulations Paul, you’re 48 rolls richer 😉

Todd steered the car up to a well clear 4th position which would have got him in the A main before another mechanical failure with around four laps to go. With really good car speed in that race, it was a very disappointing end to the night.
