The running of the Brisbane 1000 was held at Brisbane International Speedway on Saturday night (3rd November) with Dennis Bullpitt having another sensational run in his TSS Falcon. 

Bullpitt started out of position three in the first heat and fell back one spot to finish 4th. 

Heat two saw Dennis start in 8th, as he pressed on forward to clinch several places and finish in 5th place.

Starting out of position 2 in heat three, Dennis slotted into 3rd around the first corner, Bullpitt holding onto the position until a slight error on the last lap saw Steve Price duck through, Dennis finishing in 4th.

With over 30 cars turning up for the night, Qualifying out of position 13 for the final, Dennis drove the wheels of his car and chose his timing, picking off car by car.  Bullpitt made his way up to 5th at about half race distance.  After contact with Jason Campbell, Bullpitt got sent high which allowed Jason Campbell past, with Dennis greeting the checkered flag in 6th. 

The team is still fighting gremlins within the car, after trouble with the electric fan and exhaust gaskets in the final, but a top ten finish out of a field of 30 cars is still at the pointy end and the team couldn't be happier.

Without crew chief Tony Reinke the team wouldn't be going forward, all his hard work is starting to pay off. 

All three Toowoomba Steering Service sponsored cars of Shane Macdonald (highest qualifier), Robert Trapp and Rodney Pammenter qualifed in the top 6, and were given the opportunity to race in a 6-lap Dash.  Macdonald finished 2nd to Steve Price while Rodney Pammenter finished in 5th and Trapp 6th.

Unfortunately all three cars were unluckily forced out of the feature race with damage, but a strong showing by the Toowoomba contingent was great to see.

Dennis will have to miss round 2 of the G&W Racing at Maryborough, after problems arose with the tow vehicle.  However The team will be rearing to go at Charlton Raceway on the 17th November.
