Official press release – Big Gun Racing

Big Gun Racing are proud to announce a new sponsor in the form of Teng Tools, on the eve of the second round of the second round of the 2011 Auto One V8 Ute Series, protected by Armor All.
“Nobody tests their tools and their equipment in a more high intensity environment than we do in V8 Ute Racing,” smiles Big Gun hard charger Brad Patton, “it’s the nature of the beast that something’s going to get bent, something’s going to need to be fixed, and it’s all got to happen in a heartbeat. That’s why we can’t afford to take chances with our spares inventory or our tools. It has to be Teng Tools for us, that’s all there is to it.”
Since 1985 Teng Tools have been producing high performance, tough tools for the work and racing environment.

VIP Petfoods sponsored V8 Ute Drivers Brad Patton and Ryal Harris recorded impressive results and left their respective ‘paw prints’ on the first round of the 2011 Auto One V8 Ute Racing Series – protected by Armor All at the season opening Clipsal 500 last weekend.

Debuting their stunning near identical VIP Petfoods XR8 Falcons the Queensland duo set about leaving a lasting impression on the demanding Adelaide street circuit and both came away satisfied with their contrasting fortunes.

Patton’s #14 VIP Petfoods / WICKED / Denco Falcon was in the wars early in Race One but showed exceptional car speed in Race Two to speed back from the rear of the grid and show significant potential in his brand new car.

It’s not unfair to suggest that at the end of the 2010 Season “Big Gun Racing” was a little unsure of it’s future direction.
Peter Burnitt was in good touch but Brad Patton had destroyed his car at the Surfers Paradise event and it threw up an air of uncertainty.

Nobody was 100% sure of the make-up of the team for the coming year but that’s all changed, and changed in a very short space of time!

Where once there were two, sometimes three cars in the massive Big Gun semi-trailer, now there are FOUR!

Peter Burnitt, Brad Patton, Ryal Harris and Greg Willis are now the fighter pilots who base themselves out of USS Big Gun.
