Cotterell Racing

07/06/2026

What an awesome two nights spent up at Cairns Speedway.
Unfortunately the Q36 modlite in heat 2 Dwayne Cotterell in the modlite came together with Q92 Brett Hehir and the wall and got some panel and tyre damage. Running two cars for the night there wasn't enough time to make the repairs so Jack Menzies and his team jumped in and fixed the modlite and Jack drove it for the remainder of the night due to having a few problems with his car. With a few set up changes he had the car right on the pace. Thanks Jack for the set up tips.

Jai had a really good night figuring out a few things with his new car.

Heat 1: started in 4th and finished in 4th
Heat 2: started in 8th finished 4th
Heat 3: started 1st finished 3rd

FEATURE RACE: Jai started in 3rd and crossed the line in 2nd position. Well done kiddo some good solid racing for the night.

Congratulations to Bray Taylor for the feature win and Jaydyn Hawkins for 3rd place. Well done to all the junior drivers for a great night of racing!

Its Race Day!!!!

Well it was only a couple of weeks ago we weren't sure if we would have both cars running up at the season opener at Cairns Speedway but here we are!!!

This one was mum's choice, so I sent Dwayne Cotterell and Jai on a HUGE mission, a 6000km return trip in less than a week, in the truck to pick up a car all the way from Victoria to get Jai out on the track tonight. The things you do right? 😂

Practice went well last night with both the mirage and modlite having some good runs out on the track.

Tonight is super exciting with 9 Modlites running up in Cairns and Dwayne's under strict instructions from Jai to race hard Dad!!!! Thank you to all the modlites that have travelled up north and special thanks to Dan Pitchfork for his massive effort to make this meeting possible for the Modlites as well.

Jai, although looking different for the season opener was really happy with how the car ran during practice last night and will no doubt be out there giving it his best tonight. Drive hard tonight kiddo and have fun!!

Good luck tonight boys and LET'S GO RACING!!!

I wondered where you two had gotten to!

24/05/2026

Well it didn't quite go to plan last at Maryborough Speedway for Jai and Dwayne Cotterell. Jai unfortunately found the wall in his first heat, Jai walking away all ok but did some decent damage to his car. Dwayne took the modlite out for his first heat then decided to sit the rest of the night out. Jai's pretty devastated at the moment, unsure of now when he will be able to get back out on the track again.Thats racing though and no doubt we will get back out there at some stage.

Congratulations to all the juniors drivers and the winners for the night! Thank you to everyone who supports Jai and Dwayne and Cotterell Racing.
