Gary Brazier, Randy and Brook
Tatnell on Jan 9, 1999. During the 1998\99 World Series
Sprintcar Championship, The Hurricane won an astounding 7
of 15 events. Failing to make one feature and a couple of
dnf's cost him in the final tally by about 100 points
(less than one nights available points).
The 1997
car. He won the Western Australian Speedweek in this car.
Here is the 1997 car in action courtesy of FatRat Photos. The tiered seating in the
background is typical of many tracks down there. Bring
your own chair and sit where ya want!
The
1998\99 car. Notice the red clay. Most of the Australian
tracks have that surface.
On the gas!
While
the Australian-USA Challenge began in the #7usa car back
in Novemeber of 1998, it ended at Knoxville in August of
1999 and in the Nettaxi 1x.
And did it end! With the
Hurricane taking the Championship in the 1999
Australian\USA Challenge! Also in the picture is Brooke
Tatnell (smiling) and a dejected Joey Saldana (who also
came up short against Hannagan).
