Mvb Racing Wish To Pass On Thoughts
MVB Racing posted Saturday July 19, 2008.
MVB Racing was saddened this week by the sudden passing of Graeme Beard. Graeme was a good friend and a big supporter of our team. He was always willing to offer a hand wherever possible, including offering us beds and a place to work on the car when we were racing nearby. We wish to extend our deepest sympathy to Graeme’s family, Beth, Warren, Michelle, Alistair and their families. Our thoughts are with you at this time. Mike, Natalie and the team.

MVB Speedweek so far...........
MVB Racing posted Wednesday December 31, 2003.
Our first nights racing of the WSS Speedweek saw us competing in Adelaide on Boxing Day. The track was dry and dusty from the outset. We drew a late marble in the time trial lottery, and managed to set 19th quick time out of 31 cars present. The heats netted us a pleasing second and third place. This gave us enough points to start the A Dash out of position 6, in which we finished 6th. We started the A-Main from position 11. At the start of the race, the track was very slick and difficult to race on and got a lot worse by the end of the 35 lap final. For the duration of the race, we drove very conservatively and kept the car very straight in order to minimize tyre wear as this was always going to be a telling factor on this type of race surface. After 35 laps, many cars had blown tyres and had pulled infield, we managed to finish third and got our very first podium finish in WSS competition.
