 It’s been three long years since Peter “Gangsta” Burnitt sunk his boot into the firewall of his beloved XR8 Falcon Ute around the wide-open expanses of Philip Island GP circuit, but that all changes this weekend when he lets the CNW Ford have its head.
“I can’t believe I haven’t been there since 2007, the year we made our debut,” recalls Burnitt, “I absolutely love the place so I’m really pumped about going back there after all this time.”
Burnitt is in an upbeat frame of mind and with good reason.

 It looked on paper to be potentially one of the best weekends of racing thus far for the Big Gun Racing Team of Peter Burnitt and Brad Patton coming into the Hidden Valley (Darwin) third round of the Yokohama V8 Ute Series protected by Armor All, but it didn’t quite turn out that way.
“I think we had good car speed all weekend,” explained BGR Team Engineer Joe De Vries, “we just didn’t have any good luck. If there was a crash, we were in it, even if we didn’t necessarily cause it.”

 There were predominantly smiles all round at Big Gun Racing this week after a satisfying weekend of competition at Winton Motor Raceway for Round Two of the 2010 Yokohama V8 Ute Series protected by Armor All.
Both Peter Burnitt and Brad Patton showed speed and consistency to record some of their best on-track performances since joining the series.
Patton led the second race of the weekend comprehensively, clocking up significant TV exposure for WICKED / CHILL and the associate Big Gun sponsors until the final lap when he made contact with second placed “Chucky” Baxter and spun the XR8 Falcon at the exit to the Esses.
