Brad “Packers” Patton is back and he’s armed to the teeth with determination to conquer the mountain this weekend in Round Six of the Yokohama V8 Ute Series, protected by Armor All.

The driver of the Wicked Energy Drinks / CHILL XR8 Falcon missed the previous round at Philip Island in Victoria due to family commitments but is back with a vengeance at the world famous Mt. Panorama Bathurst.

“I didn’t run at Philip Island but the laps I missed out on there I managed to make up for at our drive day at Queensland Raceway before that round, so realistically I haven’t been away from the wheel,” he admits.

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.
