Despite
a delayed start to the 2006/07
season, Scott McPherson has
renewed confidence with a new
car / engine combination that
he hopes will take him all the
way to the top in the East Coast
Late Model Series – something
that he narrowly missed out
on last season.
McPherson’s
charge is set to begin this
Saturday night (November 4)
when the third round of the
Series is staged at Parramatta
City Raceway, Sydney NSW.
“I’ve
been kind of lucky as the opening
round of the Series was rained
out, so technically I’ve only
lost one round,” said McPherson,
who calls the Canberra suburb
of North Terrace in the ACT
home.
“For
this season I have invested
in new equipment, and basically
everything is new except for
my transporter.
“Last
season was rather disappointing
as I had built up a comfortable
lead in the Series before it
slipped out of my grasp due
to a succession of engine woes.”
Defending
East Coast Late Model Series
champion, Queenslander Blair
Granger, was the driver that
came home last season with a
wet sail to finish ahead of
McPherson by a mere 10 points.
So this season, despite the
late start, McPherson and his
Better Trailers Racing team
are looking to make amends.
“Blair
[Granger] has made a very strong
start to the season, along with
a lot of other drivers, so I’m
going to have my work cut out
for me,” he admitted.
For
the remainder of the season
McPherson anticipates a quick
return to good form: hitting
up the competition with consistent
results on top of working on
the setup of his new machinery.
“Although
I have a lot of data, I’m going
to be doing a little bit of
trial and error in order to
find a happy medium with the
setup,” McPherson commented.
“Hopefully
it won’t take too long and I
can get up to the pointy end
of the field starting this Saturday
night.”
The
equipment McPherson has onboard
for this season is a former
Scott Bloomquist (USA) Rayburn
car and a brand new Graeme Silk
Racing built 372ci Rodeck powerplant
that is sure to hold him in
good stead for a competitive
season on the East Coast.
