In some ways, it was a repeat performance of Bathurst.

The four car Big Gun V8 Ute team of Peter Burnitt, Brad Patton, Ryal Harris and Greg Willis came into the taxing Surfers Paradise street circuit of the Armor All Gold Coast 600 with a strong round win and some hefty damage to contend with just two weeks prior.

Team Manager Joe De Vries had pulled off a minor miracle to return Brad Patton and Peter Burnitt’s XR8 Falcons to competition after they were all but destroyed in separate incidents at Mt. Panorama Bathurst.

A fortnight ago at Mt Panorama, Ryal Harris top-scored his first V8 Ute Racing Series round with pole position and wins in two out of the three races. At Surfers Paradise last weekend, the V.I.P. Petfoods team leader went one better: pole position and all three race wins!

The 29 year-old Gold Coast driver was unstoppable as he swept the board at his ‘home’ circuit. The only sour note was a 10-point penalty imposed by the stewards for an overtaking move in the reverse-grid second race, but Harris has appealed the decision.

Ryal Harris claimed Race 2 and 3 cementing his Round 6 win in the Auto One V8 Ute Racing Series – protected by Armor All at the Gold Coast today (Sunday, 23rd October).

Harris is the first driver to win five races in a row and is ecstatic about it.

“It’s such a great feeling to win in front of a home-crowd. I’ve got a lot of family and friends out here and it feels awesome. Once I got in the lead today I knew I just had to hold it and come home with five in a row. I’m glad Shooters Superclub are on board again this year as I can’t wait to get there and celebrate!” he said.

Ryal “The Kid” Harris has claimed the Armor All Pole Award and $1000 cash at Round 6 of the Auto One V8 Ute Racing Series – protected by Armor All on his home track in practise for this weekend’s Armor All Gold Coast 600. 
The V8 Utes were first on track this morning for their one and only practice session, with Craig Dontas taking the fastest time followed by Chris Pither, Ryal Harris and Gold Coast Veteran Charlie O’Brien.

Dontas couldn’t repeat the effort in Qualifying and dropped to 19th after crossing the blend line, the penalty being loss of his fastest time. Harris however, had a repeat of his Bathurst Pole win and put in his fastest lap with only a few minutes remaining of the session and pipped Series leader Chris Pither who led most of the way by only two tenths of a second.
