Former Australian National Top Doorslammer Champion Gary Phillips unveiled his refurbished Lucas Oils Studebaker last weekend. There are a few changes to the paint scheme and some more major changes to the rear end.

The Summernationals (southern hemisphere remember) was cancelled due to rain, so the team will head for the Westernationals at Perth Motorplex on Feb. 27-28.
