This movie is probably more suited to the circuit race section , but I am going to list other movies here also . If you want them removed , just let
me know .
This was the very first movie my son Dean made for me , back in 2002 when he was just 9 years old .

Horace at Nowra speedway 2006 with Wayne Penrose at the wheel . Dean created this movie for me at the age of 14years in 2006 .

This was the year that the VW nationals drags left Oran Park raceway and was held at WSID . Full quarter mile drag racing for the first time.
(400mtrs)
My son Dean made this video for me in 2004 at age 12yrs . I was digging through my archives and have found a heap of older footage
here is the 2004 VW nats vid for your viewing pleasure . You will have to excuse all the pics of chevys etc , as this was made back in the days before
Dean saw the light . lol .

Dean created this movie of the cabrio in 2006 at age 14 years .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwdSXpj8CPs
in 2006 at age 14, Dean created another movie for me showing WPVWs' transition from the injected n/a sports sedan to the turbo oval .
You will probably get sick of the same music but Dean was very much into Queen back then and he really admired my achievements . He was there at every
single race meeting with me , to help and support me . I get a great thrill in doing the same for him now.....

racing at Eastern Creek Raceway in 1996 against another V8 ford . In this video Trent my apprentice applies the front brake tap and proceeds to do a
crowd pleasing burnout , starting off in 2nd gear , shifting to 3rd and then shifting again to 4th . He lines up against the V8 ford and runs our very
first 12 sec pass with a 12.8 @ 101mph on 165 kumho street tyres (stock axles)

Wayne you've posted some ripper videos, thanks heaps.
Your son's first vid, and that skid of Trent's....wow.
Top stuff Wayne.....
the vid of Horace was cool. Looked like a Sunday drive compared to some of the other cars getting getting a bit sideways. How many guards did you go
through.
The WPVW sports sedan goes through its paces around Raleigh Raceway for the VW spectacular 2008

racing at the VW spectacular 2008 , I have a little oops and put the WPVW sports sedan into the tyre wall on the main straight . The damage was
repaired within 2 hours and the sports sedan was raced again the next morning

for a couple of demo laps .

In 1991 I decided to try speedway racing with a VW full chassis super-sedan . It was powered by a mid-mounted 2.4litre (88x92) type-1 methanol
injected supercharged engine .
To be honest , this car had much more potential than I could get from it ..... mortgage , not long married , baby on the way , and opened new business
.... just a plain lack of funds was available for the race car .

in 1989 , brother Rod decided to purchase a formula vee for racing . He removed the 1200 engine and fitted a 2276cc twin webber engine that I had
built for him .
He took it to Huntley hillclimb and was very fast on slicks , until one day the vee ended up-side-down with him in it after a rear suspension mounting
broke . Fortunatley Rod was not injured , but the same could not be said for the vee.....
