Drivers from the 2012 Auto One V8 Ute Racing Seriesprotected by Armor All will head to the Ute capital of the world for the Deniliquin Ute Muster Friday, 28th and Saturday, 29th September.
This will be the sixth year the V8 Ute Series has taken part in the iconic event, however this year will have a lane dedicated to the Series and will feature Jesus Racings new B& S Ute.
The Jesus Racing Team attended the event last year, so this time around have decided to dress the ute more appropriately. With the support of Light Force & Boomer Bullbars, the ute now features a roll cage, five-poster bulbar, mud flaps and aerials and V8 Ute Racing driver Andrew Fishtail Fisher is looking forward to another great event.
We had a ball last year, says Fishtail. I judged the circle work and hung with the crowd. We are looking forward to this years Ute Muster and to challenging the paradigms of the crowd, as well as their understandings of Christianity.
V8 Ute Lane will also have a V8 Ute Simulator Challenge run by Bob Jane T-Marts, giving participants the chance to win a set of new wheels and driver Kim Jane will be on hand to announce the winner.
I love going to Deni. Its such a great event and the crowd is always a lot of fun. Weve decided to interact a little more this year and hold the Simulator Challenge. Bob Jane has kindly donated a set of wheels, so hopefully well get some keen participants, said Jane.
