Links to videos are now available on the main page of MrJJ.net A range of photos have also been uploaded over the past 12 months so be sure to check them out; http://www.mrjj.net/gallery/4wding 2009 saw another very successful year for the volunteer recovery services of Jay Jukes with the release of a refreshing new look for the Tow 7 Recovery Vehicle. The new signage was released at the 2009 SkyCity Triple Crown Truck Parade that snaked through the streets of Darwin CBD. Positioned right behind the official safety vehicles, many a head turned to see the only recovery 4wd to be included in the parade. At the 2009 V8 Supercar Skycity Triple Crown the team was again stationed at turn 14 on the entry to the Hidden Valley main straight. During the course of the event the Recovery Vehicle was called to assist in the cleanup of several accidents and play chaperone to the burnout display cars of Team Bray Racing. This saw the vehicle regularly out in front of the Main Straight crowd, and perform several full lap passes in front of the Hairpin corporate facilities, stopping while the burnout demonstrations were being conducted, and thereby gaining maximum exposure and photo opportunity. The vehicle was also used for the duration of the Hidden Valley Drag Racing season. A total of 14 drag racing events were attended throughout the year. This including the action packed Trans Tasman Drag Bike Challenge and the 2009 Shannons NT Titles, with a combined audience of over 9,000 people. The wet seasons’ only motor sport, Mud Racing at Downes Park in Darwin’s Hidden Valley Motor Sports Complex was again attended throughout the 2008/2009 as well as the 2009/2010 competition seasons. As can be expected, breakages and bogging are frequent events due to the punishment the vehicles sustain. The Recovery Vehicle was used for the six events held and saw a combined spectator audience of 12,000 people. In total the team attended 23 events with a combined spectator count of approximately 87,000 people. Out of these, audible recognition of vehicle sponsors was performed at 20 events, thereby adding additional company exposure. This level of attendance is only made possible through the generous support of all our sponsors and we thank you for your continued involvement. During 2010 the team will again be assisting with the V8 Supercar round to be held in Darwin from 18 – 20 June 2010.

Guess what, after several months busy with work, young Bayden and arranging the start of the 2008 Drag Racing season MRJJ.net is back with a fresh new design. Many thanks to the raft of new supporters that have come on board for Round 6 of the 2008 V8 Supercar series where I'll be providing recovery services at Hidden Valley. Make sure you check out all the updated information and what is happening with volunteering and current vehicle specs on the site. With too much involvement with too many clubs its time to slow down a little. Drag Racing has therefore been put on hold for a while and a new toy (other than Bayden) has been sourced. Coming from Perth WA a 1991 80 Series Landcruiser now graces the driveway ready for the up coming wet season.
