My Gratitude Directory

Hello world,

This page is the main reason I started this blog. I have been overwhelmed with the support, encouragement and guidance I have received from so many people in motorsport, and this is my way of saying thanks, especially to those that own businesses. I will keep updating this list as I go!

xoxo,

Dark Racer.

1. The Victorian Mini Club

If you live in Victoria, Australia, and own a Mini, join this club!

This is a great, supportive Mini enthusiast and motorsport club, which has a bit of everything for everyone. The event calendar is packed with classic car shows, meet & drive days and of course race meetings.

2. Drive Events Performance Drive School

Drive Events organises track days and performance driving lessons at various race tracks in Victoria including Phillip Island, Broadford and the Calder Park Raceway in Melbourne.

I attended my first drive school session hoping to learn new skills and walked away with a motorsport family! These guys are amazing and genuinely care about their students and customers.

3. Ace Karts

Karting is the gateway to motorsport and I love this real life racing go-kart track in Melbourne! I have been going here to practice my skills in karts in between track days, and the staff and management are incredibly generous with racing advice and tips to improve my performance.

4. Bob Jane T Marts Hoppers Crossing

Any motorsport enthusiast knows that good tyres can make or break a drive. Tyre shopping though is not a huge amount of fun. Unless you buy tyres from here! 

I discovered this store as they were the only ones who had a full set of the tyres I wanted at short notice and was blown away by the old school customer service. Every phone call was answered with warmth. Every customer walking through the door was greeted with a smile. They also know the best place in the area to get your caffeine fix while waiting to collect your car.

If you live on the other side of town, this place is worth the drive!
