Better late then never -
Last weekend we headed to Alexandra to take on the 3hr Enduro. We teamed up with good mate Dennis Reid, and I got to run the No. 54, a number I hold in high regard.

They wanted all 26 teams out for the final, so our heats were hot laps/practice. The car felt good, so it was fuelled up and ready to go when it was my time.

Dennis started the final and was going good, then we noticed a small amount of smoke and over the next lap or two he slowed up. So my turn was up earlier than expected.

After climbing in and having everyone help with the safety gear, we got out on track. Just trying to find my groove and run good, consistent laps as I had a long stint ahead.

With a slower car pulling down on me and causing some body damage, it resulted in us getting a flat tyre, so to the pits I went with the crew on standby to fix her up. Some panel repair, a new tyre and some fuel, and I got some water in as well, and we were back out on track.

Then there were two cars in front that got together, leaving me nowhere to go - broken right front arm.

Back on the tow truck to the pits, where the crew went straight to work. Front end repaired, more fuel, I got some more tear-offs and water, and a smoke 🤣

We were back out on track, just trying to get to the end, but the gearbox had different ideas with 30 mins to go. With second gone, we retired back to the pits for good.

Definitely ended up with more crew than we thought we would, but can’t thank the people enough that jumped in to help and kept us going all day - Shan, Casey, Ayden, Dennis, Bree, The whole Berger crew, Rhys Meakins & Jasmin Kettles.
Thanks again everyone ❤️

Finally, thank you to all our sponsors…

3 hour bound!
Big Dog himself steps back into the drivers seat today to run the 3-Hour Enduro with our buddy Dennis Reid up at Alexandra Speedway!
The NG7 will take a backseat today as we join together to make Team 54, a number that holds a special place in both our hearts.

Get your backside trackside for what’s sure to be some good racing!

Weekend Recap 🏁
This weekend we headed to Swan Hill to give Casey his first taste of the Little V6 before he steps into it full-time next season. With a small field nominated, the goal was simple: get laps, learn the car, and have some fun.

Turns out Casey had other ideas.

Day 1
After the first hot lap, Dad nearly had a heart attack when he looked up just in time to see the car giving the turn 1 wall a little kiss. Casey’s response? A thumbs up before carrying on like nothing happened. 😅

Heat 1: Started 4th → Finished 2nd
Heat 2: Started 2nd → Finished 2nd
Heat 3: Started 2nd → Finished 3rd
Feature: Started 3rd → Finished 3rd

Day 2
The confidence was building, and the way he drove the car showed it.
Heat 1: Started 2nd → Finished 1st
Heat 2: Started 1st → Finished 1st
Heat 3: Started 3rd → Finished 2nd
Feature: Started 1st → Finished 2nd

Not a bad debut weekend for a kid who’s just supposed to be “learning the car.” 😉

Huge thanks to Dad, Shan, Pop & Nan for all the help, support, and for keeping Dad’s blood pressure under control all weekend!

Day 2 at Swan Hill - Sporties & Ladies going out together due to small numbers.

06/06/2026

At the track and ready for Casey to get some laps in the Sportie under his belt.

After a few tears (we’ll let you decide whose), the steering wheel has begrudgingly changed hands. 🤣

Stay tuned for live heats throughout the day. 🔥🏁

Weekend Plans Update 🏁

After originally planning to tackle the 100 Lapper at Alex this weekend, we’ve decided to make a change and give the young bloke one last run for the season!

This weekend, Casey will be stepping into the Little V6 for the first time and will be running with the Sporties at Swan Hill. This will be the first of many appearances as (something that we never thought would happen) Shane hands the steering wheel over for his beloved race car.

As Casey takes the wheel, Shane will be taking a step back from racing duties while the team gets to work on building something new for him. We’re excited for what the future holds and can’t wait to see Casey continue to grow behind the wheel.

As always, we’ll be going live for the heats throughout the weekend, so keep an eye on the page for updates!

Sneak Peek | 55 Lapper | Nagambie Speedway | 16/05/2026

Shane Simpson out here believing he can fly ✈️🏁

The 55 Lapper at Nagambie Speedway certainly gave us plenty of action to capture, and this was definitely one of those “right place, right time” moments behind the camera.

More photos to come as we work through the albums.

Cheers,
Lou
