 Rod Penrose's new website up and running! 
 
 
Hi everybody, 
 
I'm off to Warwick to race and thought that I would let you all know that my brand new website is up and running. 
 
Click here Rod Penrose Racing Web site 
 
I've spent a lot of time over the past few months with my tech guy setting this up and I am really happy with the way it looks and works. 
 
I have put almost 500 products on the site with more to come and will be updating the site with new products every few weeks or so. Any new products
added will be identified with a "new product" banner so that you can easily see what has been added. 
 
Initially, the site is to be used simply for seeing what products I have with the idea to eventually enable my customers to purchase selected products
online. 
 
Please rest assured that I am still taking my usual very personal approach to each and every engine and project that I do to ensure that I produce and
supply the best product at the most competitive price possible. 
 
Please either post your comments here or send me some feedback through the various options on the website. 
 
Rod

Thanks for all of the positive messages from the people that have taken the time to use the new site . Warwick was a good break for me so now I am
back onto the site to keep updating it . I have already added another 20 or so new items and this will only become bigger and better as time goes on .
I have taken onboard some of your suggestions and have implemented some minor changes that some of you have requested . Thanks for the support , ROD

Hi guys 
 
I thought that it's time for a bit of an update. 
 
I know that many of you have taken the time to visit my new website and join my Newsletter and I would like to thank you and let you know that you
have been placed in the draw for the $200 Gift Voucher. 
 
You still have until 31st December 2014 to go into the draw for the $200 Gift Voucher that will be announced 
in the February 2015 edition of VWMA. 
 
I also know that many are also waiting for my promised "Specials" section to be open.....well the waiting is over! 
 
I have initially listed 5 new specials some of which are my most popular items and I have also added a number of high peformance complete turnkey
engines for both street and race applications. 
 
These engines are ready to shipped and installed. 
 
By the way, the new Rod Penrose Racing T Shirts have landed and will be available for sale early next week. If you are curious, have a look at http://rodpenroseracing.com.au/138--specials-updated-  
 
Regards 
Rod

Well done.

Hi Guy's 
another up-date on the new website progress . I now have added another complete section containing the XRP Stainless Steel braided line and fittings .
All of the fittings are in stock and are available in the classic anodised red/blue combination . As this is the most popular fitting , I can infact
supply these fittings in a number of custom colours by special order . 
I have used a few different brands of fittings over the years and have found the XRP fittings to be of the highest quality . These fittings are made
in the USA and are the same fittings that I use on my own drag car . Here is a link to the fittings http://rodpenroseracing.com.au/150-an-fittings-xrp  , if you
need them . 
On another note , just a reminder to join my free newsletter and go into the draw for a $ 200 voucher as this promotion I have running will end on the
31st of December . Quite a few people have taken up this offer so far , and I welcome everyone to take up this free offer , thanks Rod .

 Update: 20th December 2014 
 
 
Hi everybody 
 
Just a quick update on what has been happening since my last post some weeks ago. 
 
I have been very busy building engines and updating the website with a number of new 
products including heaps of quality used and refurbished parts that I have collected 
over the years and have decided that they need to go to new homes. 
 
I have added a new Category to the website called "** Used Parts **". 
 
This contains a range of products for both street and strip and includes heads (Autocraft, ARPM, SuperFlo etc), both oil and dry sump pumps, 
carby's and carby kits (some with linkages) and manifolds. Early in 2015, I will be looking through my used wheel collection and deciding  
which ones will be added to the website. 
 
This is the time to "bag a bargain" as many of these items are either very hard to get or are no longer being made (eg: ARPM Heads). 
 
Please visit the website and have a look: 
 
 http://www.rodpenroseracing.com.au  
 
Don't forget to also have a look through my "** Specials **" category as there are still a few products available. I plan to regulary update  
this category with different products so keep coming back to check (if you have signed up for the RPR Newsletter, you will automatically be  
sent an email to let you know when the website has been updated). 
 
Since I announced the Newsletter, more than 100 people have joined and received the first RPR Newsletter in their inboxes yesterday evening.  
Please let me know if you have not received it. 
 
Also, if you have not already joined the RPR Newsletter, now is the time as you must join prior to 31st December 2014 in order to be in the 
draw to win the $200 RPR Gift Voucher. To join, simply visit the website and click on the "** JOIN RPR NEWSLETTER **" button located on the 
top left hand side and follow the prompts. 
 
Anyway, that's about it for now and I would like to wish you all a Merry Xmas and a safe and happy New Year! 
 
Regards 
Rod
