With nominations opening for the Speedcar Super Series only a week ago, drivers are signing on for what looks to be one of the best series’ to date. The first nomination sees a rookie Midget campaigner from Western Australia joining the 07/08 tour; Brett Matherson!

Recording an impressive history in the NSW GP Midget division including multiple podium placings in both the Australian and NSW Titles before moving west to Perth, Brett is joining the series in his new Spike/Brayton Gaerte machinery.

“I’m looking forward to hitting the road on the SSS and gaining valuable track time and experience” says an eager Matherson on confirming his involvement. “The only way I can do that is by racing with the best at a variety of tracks, which will give me the experience to adapt quickly to the constant changing conditions that is speedway racing."

“With our main sponsor MCS Technology becoming naming right sponsor of the SSS Pole Shuffle this year, we wanted to be on the series too. We’ve invested a lot of money including a new spike chassis, but without the ongoing assistance from my brother Scott and Mark Cooper from American Tire & Racing Services this wouldn’t be possible, as they helping to co-ordinate my efforts on the East coast”.

Brett is planning on debuting his new ride at the opening Speedcar race meeting at Sydney’s TPCR on October 13th in preparation for the SSS opening round on November 3rd.

“I must say a special thank you to Robert Marfia from the US as he has played a big part in supplying us with our fresh Brayton Gaerte and arranging the air shipment overnight including an emergency run to the Albuquerque International Airport (some 45 minutes from his workshop) to allow us to make the new PCR season to sort out any teething issues before the SSS on Nov 3rd."

“US-based Blake Robertson has been invaluable by providing parts at such short notice which will enable us to have the car available by October 13th. I can’t thank BR Motorsports and our other sponsors MCS Technology, American Tires & Racing Services, and The Speedway Shop enough for their support.

“At the end of the day, the SSS is our national series and that’s where I want to be”.

Watch for Brett on the 07-08 Speedcar Super Series which kicks off at Tyrepower Parramatta City Raceway on November 3rd!
