I want to make this an interesting blog and really give fans of V8 Supercar a chance to know what I think about all the goings on in V8 Supercar, and also how I think myself and Team BOC are going.

I’ll also let you know what’s happening off the track, and talk about my family life, and another of my great loves; cycling.

I’ve managed to climb Mt. Buffalo a couple of times so I will send in some pics of that.

I will also keep the blog updated with plenty of videos and MMS pics that let you behind the scenes of my life and V8 racing.

This weekend we will be racing at Winton, it’s our home track and our test circuit, so we would really like to do well in the race and improve a great deal on what we have shown so far this season.

We have a very different set up to the one we were running at the start of the season. The results in Adelaide, Perth and Pukekohe were not good enough and we want to change that. The new package will make this a very interesting race for me as a driver.

I expect the race to be run in dry weather, but you can never really tell, having said that I don’t mind if it rains this weekend. As they say ‘the rain is a great leveler’ and it often means there is less reliance on straight out horsepower.

It’s actually surprising that though we race for most of the winter months, on average only 2 out of 14 races are run in wet conditions.

Anyway I will let you ponder that stat over the weekend, after which I will check back in with my thoughts on Winton.
