Palmyra Dragway put on a Powder Puff bracket and that sort of
got me hooked on it, it has been all guns blazing from then even
though with us having two small kids, I had had to hold off a little
till the youngest was older before I could have a go!
“I have to thank Laeith for all the work he puts into my bike, trying
to get two bikes working sometimes stresses him out and I really
appreciate all he does.”
While there is plenty of work, there have also been plenty of results
for the pair: Laeith took out the Modified Bike victory at round two
of the Summit Racing Queensland Championships at the Skinners’
home track of Palmyra Dragway while Lisa was the runner-up at
15 fastlane
Palmyra Dragway’s recent 50th anniversary event.
Despite their winning ways, their aim at the race track is always to
first have fun.
“I have learnt to always just go and have fun – if you aim to win you
can be disappointed, but if you aim to have fun you always will and
a prize or trophy is just a bonus. To me expecting a win isn’t in the
spirit of the game,” Laeith said, “but of course it is always nice to
bring home the 1 and 2 trophies!”
