If you’re a Speedcar fan, then all roads lead to Murray Bridge’s Riverview Speedway this Saturday night (15.12.2007) when South Australia’s only resident contracted driver, John ‘Mars Bars’ McKay squares off on his home soil for the first time this season against Australia’s greatest guns in the national Speedcar Super Series.

John will saddle up this weekend aboard the Bert and Helen Fenton owned SA46 Stealth powered Nissan, this Nissan engine is the only non competition race engine in the field and thanks to the wizardry of engine builder Dave Baines this production line rocket is giving the big dollar donks a real run for their money despite being a little down on overall torque and horsepower.

So far the team has travelled in excess of 1800 kilometres for the opening three rounds of the Speedcar Super Series (including a rain out for the opening round at Tyrepower Parramatta City Raceway) and the happy go lucky ‘Mars Bars’ McKay has recorded an 11th at Avalon Raceway, Victoria and 6th in the B Main (out of 34 cars entered) at the fast tracked Toowoomba Speedway in Queensland, these results have netted John tenth overall and he is also the highest placed rookie. This weekend the aim for John is to finish in the top 10 against the stiff competition and hopefully climb the position or two in the points score.

‘This weekend I really want to put on a good performance for the people who have helped me to get to this point. I really must thank Bert & Helen Fenton for the opportunity to drive the car, my dad (Rick), all the crew and Dave Baines for building a tough Nissan motor,’ said John as he peeled back the wrapper on another Mars Bar!

At the end of the nights activities be sure to head down to the pits for a friendly chat over a cold Beer and the kids can grab an autographed promotions photo (as seen below) from John and if you have a Mars Bar or three be sure to offer him one! Anybody offering John a Mars Bar and bottled water will become an instant life time buddy!
