With considerable support from Newcastle business, Disney Racing has prepared its race winning Rocket for the assault on the 8th QFS National Dirt Racing Late Model Australian Championship. With gun driver Nat Disney keen to put some major awards in his 08-09 season trophy cupboard, the Disney Racing team has headed to Perth along with the Motofoto Hillermans team car of Barry Kelleher.

Joining Disney and Kelleher over in Perth will be fellow Sydney stars Darryl Grimson and Dean Smith. Having won the inaugural Casio G-Shock Gold Cup Dean Smith is confident of a strong showing at the Kwinana Complex.

Nat Disney knows the challenge will not only come from his fellow East Coast pilots but also from the WA stalwarts and the visiting American Late Model specialists Doug Drown and Jeep van Wormer.

The next four days are going to be busy ones for all concerned for the 2009 Australian Late Model Nationals. If you’re a fan it all starts tomorrow night when a number of the cars practice prior to this two night extravaganza of sedan action.
