Nice work Eddie, looks fantastic and thanks to Tim for uploading the pics!

And Darren Best, the mighty ST170, what a team!! congrats to Darren, what a fantastic result.

Now we need to, if possible, "get behind he and his team" and try to go out to see him race. Check out www.pcaa.com.au for upcoming 2006 Rounds of the Production Car Association at a track near you.

Timmeh, Whippet-Zetec, Abraxas and myself went out to Oran Park last year and enjoyed it. Although, the ST170 wasn't running Darren and his wife were there looking on.

Hello Everyone,

Yes it was a fantastic weekend, we are still in a state of shock with our exceptional results. The team has worked very hard over the last 12 months, and the results speak for themselves. We hope that the remainder of the season will be the just as good.Yes sorry Eddie for the short timelines of getting your photos, it was a mad time in the pit area. All trying to pack up, we also had to get the car loaded and then be around at the presentation area afterwards. We left pretty well straight away as one of the crew had to work that night, and it was a 5 hour drive to home.If you want to see some more photos of the Focus check out V8central forum, under PCAA.

If any of your members are at any of the meetings, please come and see us or let us know. We'd be happy to put a club sticker on the car.

Regards Bestracing

Nice pics. Remember to all of you who aren't familiar with the car, it's running the 17" MP3's because they allow the ST brakes to cool quicker than the ST blades.

Love your work Darren. No plans to upgrade to an XR5 Turbo at any stage? Seems like you're settling in nicely with the ST170! :

Bugger I miss Winton, will have to try and make Philip Island!

Already got them sorted, we've got a pack for the team for next time we're at the track with you, Darren and co! Arrived today actually, at Eddies request.



Also, I'm keen for the Oran Park and Eastern Creek rounds, so we'll make sure we pencil those dates in!

Yeah, great photo's. They are taken by the propria proprieter (bugger it, the owner) of V8Central whose an quaintance of ours. He's got all the good gear to take the photo's too.

Zetec, to my understanding, the car's still eligible to compete for a few years. So there's life in the "old girl" yet.
