The Boylan Traffic Solutions brand has been given national coverage recently with sponsored driver James Moffat's success in the Fujitsu V8 development field. James - the son of legendary racer Alan Moffat - is flying high, as evidenced by this August 2 article in Melbourne's Herald-Sun ...
 
SEEING the Moffat name at the top of the standings shouldn't surprise anyone familiar with V8s.
That it's James rather than legendary father Alan should also come as no shock.
The senior Moffat was renowned for his no-nonsense approach to racing and the intensity he applied to the sport, on and off the track.
It's a trait that runs in the family, evidenced by James yesterday blitzing the Fujitsu V8 development field on a treacherous Sandown Raceway.
The Melbourne-based racer led from the start, but said yesterday that pole wasn't necessarily an advantage.
``The first guy through basically shows the rest where the grip levels are and it was tough work off the line,'' Moffat said.
It looked it, too, as Moffat endured intense pressure from series leader Jonathon Webb for most of the race.
Webb was a victim of his own pace and ran off on the last lap, but recovered well to finish fourth.
His off only highlighted the slippery nature of the track surface and how composed Moffat's 10-second win was.
Moffat is using Craig Lowndes's 2008 V8 Supercar and is on track to repeat his extraordinary rookie-of-the year record.
He won the rookie title in the V8 utes in 2005, repeated the feat in the Lotus Cup in 2007 and was again best first-year driver in last season's Carrera Cup series.
His talents aren't the issue -- Team Vodafone uses him as a test driver -- but Moffat is philosophical about making it into the V8 Supercar field.
``It's the same story in every class -- too many drivers and not enough cars,'' a joking Moffat said yesterday.
``As a driver, you focus on your next race and your results, but, yeah, I was happy with that drive.''
Moffat has two more chances today to add to his tally -- and extend the family legend.

BTS Australian Manufacturers' Championship

Queenslander Lee Castle takes out round three

Putting the disappointment of the last round behind him, Queenslander Lee Castle struck back emphatically at round three of the Boylan Traffic Solutions Australian Manufacturers Championship for Production Cars at Morgan Park on August 8-9. He counted his chances as shot after failing to start race one at Eastern Creek, but at the new Shannons National round venue of Morgan Park, the Wilson Brothers Racing Subaru Impreza WRX Sti proved invincible.
Castle led races one and two, the sprint affairs, from lights out to flag, despite continued pressure from Class A2 arch rival Rod Salmon that involved panel contact between the two and resulted in the latter's Ralliart prepared Smirk.com Mitsubishi Evo 10 incurring a ten point penalty on one occasion, a spin and a drive through penalty on another.
In the third contest between the two, where they were last away in the class handicap race, Salmon got the jump on Castle and paved the way through the traffic until he went off the circuit at the turn four Gum Tree corner unassisted. Castle eventually fought his way through to the lead for a perfect weekend's score.

Eddie's big day out at Eastern Creek

Wheelchair-bound motorsport fans and their carers were admitted to Eastern Creek Raceway free of charge recently, courtesy of Boylan Traffic Solutions. The occasion was Round 6 of the Shannons Nationals, which featured the newly-renamed Boylan Traffic Solutions Australian Manufacturers Championship.
The free offer featured on Alan Jones's 2GB Radio Show. One of the ``wheelies'' who came along later rang the show to thank BTS managing director Peter Boylan for his gesture.
Eddie Versteeg (pictured above), a long-time motorsport fan, spoke of the enjoyment the day had given him. ``It is a foresight that many other outdoor sports/entertainment events could learn from,'' Eddie said. ``It is something that I rarely - if indeed - ever, have been offered before," he said.
