Gunns Excavations And Towing were chosen by ballot to be this years naming sponsor of the Kellevie 300.
A poster for the event, designed by Kane Signs and Printing, is now available on this website for download. Ian Whelan has a stack of posters so he can be contacted to obtain as many copies as you would like. He also has some A3 size posters. The more copies that are downloaded, printed and distributed can promote the sport and event more successfully.
Download the file here.
There is still much to be done at Kellevie to get the track race ready. Please if you can help any time this weekend or any part of the weekends leading up to the Kellevie race, contact Ian Whelan on 0417 328 636. He can allocate you a job to suit you and the time that you are available. There still needs to be chainsaw and brush-cutting work, decking on the bridges, clearing, tyre wall repairs and springy bridge repairs just to name a few. Many hands make light work!

More photos from Finke 2010
7 July 2010
Some new pics just added to the Finke album.
These moments were captured just after the three Tassie drivers crossed the finish line by Rebecca Shepheard and some more from Cara of the pre race parachute jumpers.
Almost 3 out of 3 .. Tasmanians at the Finke Finish
14 June 2010
Hayden Tatnell has finished his 7th Finke Desert Race today in 10th outright and 7th in class despite suffering 3 flat tyres all up.
Scott Rockliff has finished the event today for the first time in 22nd outright and 11th in class.
Rockliff's trouble free run yesterday started today in disaster when on the start line a flat battery saw him have to change the alternator but still managed to leave the start line within the allocated time.
At the 160km and then 90kms from the finish his battery flattened twice more but he managed to get it going to get home and still finish.
Dale Newbon made it to Finke in 34th position and was travelling home well today until just 25kms from home he has broken a CV. We thought he has retired but we have just found out he repaired it as he had a spare in the car and crossed the finish line BUT sadly he was OOT (Out of time) only by 9 mins!!
Commiserations to Dale as what an effort to get that close, but such is the nature of this race where the attrition has been so high as usual. More details coming later when I can interview the drivers.
