FIRST FULL TIME ASSAULT AND $10k RICHER

Brad Warren and McClure Racing joined forces at the end of last season and decided they would contest the entire All Star Series for the 2012-2022 term.

Not only did they complete the full series, but they took out the Championship!

Team principals Paul and Faye McClure are based in Mildura and have competed with the series for several years with different drivers along

the way. Warren is based in Pakenham but the seven hour travel distance between them didn’t stop them from gelling together.

“I remember Paul telling me at the end of last season that he wanted to do a deal with Brad for this season and from then on they haven’t looked

back. Wazza has run with the series off and on when he got the opportunity over the years but this was his first time as a contracted driver. It’s a huge effort to come on-board with a new team, learn how to work together, learn how to be consistent and not to let the pressure get to you. Winning a series is a whole lot different to winning a race; you have to finish all the time and when we run nine or 10 rounds that’s a whole lot of finishing! But they did just that and picked up $10,000 as the Series Champ. We have some pretty heavy hitters on our Honours Board and now Brad goes down in the record books as the 2021/22

Champ,” Promoter Searle said.

Nine rounds under their belts, 6,000ks or more, five months of planning and preparation all came to a head on Good Friday for the Grand Final and series winning result.

The series took the opportunity to congratulate their drivers and teams at the end of season presentation at the traditional pitparty on Friday night and with a large crowd in attendance the awards went to:

Also recognised were all the loyal sponsors and officials, some who been with All Stars over the past 15 seasons.

“Without sponsors and officials like these, the series would not be

able to run at the level it currently does. Thanks everyone for a fantastic night and again congratulations to everyone, now roll on 2022-2023 season,” Searle added.
