Something is wrong here. The biggest name in Australian drag racing just up and retires. Health, Economy ???????? This is a massive hit to the sport which was just starting to boom ewith more tv coverage and larger crowds. Best of luck to Brett and his family, it must have been a big decision to make. So we lose at least two doorslammers, four top bikes, one top alcohol funny car, but what happens to people like Steve Packman etc does he continue racing of his own back or does it go with the rest of the team.
Good luck Brett and hopefully you will be back in the future for some match races or something.

That's huge news.
He didn't ow Tommy the Turd money too?
There was a hint two seasons ago that he might get into a Spintcar. It may have just been one of those rumors.
This will leave a big hole in drag racing with the amount of cars he had and looked after.

�Over many years I have also been the subject of many malicious and false rumour and innuendo, including personal attacks and threats on myself, my family, employees and sponsors which are taking an unprecedented toll on both my personal and professional wellbeing. I have made a decision now though to look to the future for both myself and my family....."
I'd say fairly close to the truth.

Theres the PDF of his fire sale.
He must of known the cops were coming but how stupid can you be to have 1mil cash and a pill press on you with bulk pills ready for sale. Good riddance, he was a prick of a bloke anyway. Seen him a couple times at the Kwinanna Motorplex and he thinks hes better then everyone else. Now hes going to get it up the bum.
Apparently theres going to be more people in the dragracing/show scene going down in the next year or so.

^^ Let's hope so! Level out the playing field a bit ^^ Drug dealers and the like are down there with the lowest forms of society in my books, They belong with the paedophiles, rapists and murderers.

I and a lot of other people have been asking for years where is the money comeing from , a standard joke is if you want to get rid of a million dollars is to take up drag raceing , I know a lot of people have been wondering how come the cops are so stupid that they couldnt work it out , he is not the first racer and he wont be the last ,and after his last misdemeanour at a track he should have been banned , TREX
