When Garth Walden and Tony D'Alberto rang me to ask if I would come to Phillip Island to help them sharpen up their lap times in a Radical, I jumped at the opportunity.
Garth and Tony have had some serious runs in V8 Supercars, and just about every other race car as well. Garth owns the top motorsport services company in Australia and now focuses on being the World Time Attack champion.
Time Attack racing is utterly bizarre. Basically, you spend a million dollars building a car with slightly less than one million kilowatts of power and you see how fast you can go around a racetrack — ONCE!
Another reason to go to Phillip Island is that it is owned by former Labor voter and truckie Lindsay Fox. Foxie should own every racetrack in the universe. Apart from the best curves and the best scenery, Phillip Island is the best run, best maintained course there is.
