There are 8 days to go until the first round of the 2026 season gets underway at Sydney Motorsport Park.

Round 1 of the 2026 season is proudly sponsored by Zoom Auto Care, Hart’s Automotive Services and West Heidelberg Motors.

Entries for the round are open after the AASA switched to a new system, the new system requires you to do some logging in and if you have any trouble getting an account going etc., contact Zac or Mel and they will help you get things sorted.

There will be double digits in the number of entries for the round which is great news as a strong start leads to a stronger finish by the end of the season.

Formula Ford, AASA Tin Tops, Formula RX8 and Legend Cars are also on the bill for April 25-26 round.

It is free for spectators to attend so if you would like to see Stock Cars Australia in action and you live close to Sydney Motorsport Park, April 25-26 is a good time to check them out, further details can be found here.

The latest news on the #4 Chevrolet Silverado is that the safety oil pressure switch for fuel pump was sorted, the brake switch/light was fitted, the Accumulator was tied in, the Power steering offset pulley was fitted to suit the pump and the engine plate and the Electrical wiring was tidied up.

Last week we reported that Eddie Ivermee received from past car owner Donald Hudson the blade from his Oldsmobile, we are pleased to report that the blade has been reunited with the car.

This week we posted a picture of Eddie’s car to try and get future Stock Cars Australia entrants to show their cars, unfortunately no car picture comments have been left at this time, but we did receive over 50 likes and there was plenty of admiration for the car and driver.

We would like to now take the opportunity to welcome our new followers to the Facebook page, there has been just over a half dozen newcomers since yesterday and it is great to have them all with us.

Don’t worry fans, Richard White Racing isn’t going anywhere, they’ve got plenty of Stock Car racing left in them for the future with a very interesting project ahead, one that will be greatly helped by a sale.

You can buy the car as it is, you can buy the car with a fresh engine, or you can buy the car and have Richard White Racing prepare it for the 2026 season.

If you’re looking for something in the style of the early decades of NASCAR, there is a Ford Galaxie for sale for $25,000, it is a 1969 Ford Galaxie body with a 1989 Randercar chassis with a McGunegill built 347 ci windsor engine, find out more here.

If those two don’t get your interest, how about a HQ Holden or two? there’s the #20 HQ Holden complete with the AUSCAR VIN ‘A 625’ or there is Cameron Fisher’s #39 HQ Holden for $20,000.

There’s also the #66 Truck for sale; it is an ex-Craftsman Trucks series vehicle awaiting a new owner and it’s a Ford too which is something unique when it comes to Trucks that are in Australia.

You may just have the car, the parts or the skills that somebody really needs.

Additionally, if you want to buy a car, tell us what you want, what condition you want it (complete or roller) in and your price range and we will post it for you.

Information Most Wanted

We are looking for parts of histories on a couple of cars, the problem we have is that while people have given us answers, the answers do differ and so we seek written, verbal or visual proof to sort the histories out.

Over the last couple of weeks, we were asking around for any information on the Paul Scicluna Pontiac.

As Robert Tinworth had and later sold a bunch of Pontiacs, it was important that we got the right one, especially as there were two claims of a car being a ‘Miller Car’.

Todd Kennewell was very helpful, he said that he peeled the Miller stickers off the car for Les Kennewell and he even knew which one of the four in the advertisement was the car, it was the $35,000 Front Steer car.

Hopefully we find out everything that we can about the car and have the best possible report for Paul.

Do you know the fate of this Ford Thunderbird, it is an ex-Charlie O’Brien car (it is not the #41 Ford Thunderbird) driven by Pete Nolan in 1999, it was last known to be owned by a Rodney Brewer.

On the subject of a Ford Thunderbird, if there is anybody in contact with Martin Borrows, we would like to find out what happened to his Ford Thunderbirds, we are hoping that they are still around somewhere as the Thunderbirds are in small numbers and the more that we find, the better.

Does anybody know who ordered two Commodores for the 2000/01 season, a season that did not happen which resulted in the two cars remaining in the USA?

Now that we firmly believe that the #8/#27 ride car turned #3 Lumina was originally an ex-#31 Race Cars & Engines Oldsmobile that was then used by NASTRAK/George Elliot, we are hoping to find out if the car that was leased out to Ron Goodman in 1992 is the same car, it is also theorised that Walter Giles used it when he went between Buick and Chevrolet Lumina eras.

That’s it for this edition of Aussie Stock Car News, thank you for coming.

See you next week.
