That is an Outlaw Sedan driver and the popular Wakeman took to it with his usual racing prowess finishing third in the NSW Outlaw Sedan title racing Barry Tower’s vehicle.

“Wow what a night i just want to say a massive thank you to Barry Towers for trusting me with his Outlaw monster,” Wakeman said after his successful and thrilling drive at Gunnedah on the weekend.

“You can't really explain the feeling of throwing one of these things into a corner and standing on it and having two, two-foot wide rear race rubber tyres hook up and sling shot you back down the straight. It’s insane.

“I started the NSW Outlaw title in fourth spot and we had a few issues with the car running out of fuel and losing power but we managed to take a note out of Steven Bradbury's book and kept it straight and come home third.”

Wakeman also ran his new No.35 Street Stocker, a VX Commodore, in round five of the Newcastle Street Stocker Championship.

“I had a cracker night, I  won all three heats started out of pole  in the feature,” he said.

“I held the lead for a few laps and then copped a hit which bent the rear end a bit, but I  managed to hang on to third to finish the feature.”

Wakeman has had a tremendous season on track and is back in contention for the Australian Street Stocker titles after writing off his favourite vehicle in Feburary at Tamworth.. 

He walked away unharmed from the crash but his championship-winning car was a write off.

“First lap, first race, first run of the night and everyone pulled up in front of me and I didn’t pull up,” Wakeman said of his crash.

“I knew my good luck streak would come to an end, but I didn’t think it would be so violent.

“That car was probably the best car I’ve ever had.

“I had that car for four seasons and I couldn’t count how many trophies I’ve won in it. Three state titles, a Sydney championship and two seconds and so many features.

“I’ve had bigger hits in demolition derby. It was surprising how much damage it did do considering I never felt a great deal.”

“We’ve got five-point racing harnesses with three-inch wide belts and that makes a hell of a lot of difference. Then neck-braces and stuff like that cut down the risk of getting hurt as well.”

Wakeman won the Queensland title in September and NSW title in January and has the Australian title in Sydney on May 13.

“The new car is running well but doesn’t look too hot at the moment,” he said.
