Brims Back to Make Amends in 2008/2009 NSSS
20/10/08…NASR/ASCF Media Release
Having fallen agonisingly short in his bid to win the 2007/2008 Carline Mufflers National Super Sedan Series, Wayne Brims is the first driver confirmed for the 2008/2009 championship. Last season, the New South Wales titleholder was a model of consistency throughout the NSSS tournament with frequent appearances inside the top ten, including victory in round five at Geelong’s Avalon Raceway. In fact, Brims took the series lead after round six and maintained that position heading into the final round, only to fall short in his bid for the title when a sixth-place result in the feature event relegated him to second overall in the series standings behind Michael Doblo.
In addition to his NSSS commitments last season, Brims competed in a plethora of events across the country, accumulating an array of feature race wins along the way, including his second New South Wales Championship victory at Gunnedah Speedway. The unassuming Tweed Heads-based racer again spent much of his season racing north of the border in Queensland defending the Super Sedan Association Championship he won the previous season. Having started his championship defence in the best possible fashion with three wins in the opening four rounds, Brims ultimately emerged a comfortable winner by more than 350 points.
Few drivers sustain the level of consistency that Brims achieves on a weekly basis and for four consecutive seasons (2002/2003, 2003/2004, 2004/2005 and 2005/2006) he finished inside the top four overall in the SSA Championship Series before breaking through for his first series win in 2006/2007. Piloting a Pontiac Grand Prix resplendent in Lightning McQueen-inspired livery, last season saw Brims contest 28 feature races, making it to the finish on 27 occasions, including a 12th-place finish in the Australian Super Sedan Championship at Mildura’s Timmis Speedway.
Brims joined the NSSS tour for the first time in 2006/2007 and finished sixth overall, finishing inside the top ten at six of the eight rounds. Having proven himself as a genuine force in the category and established a remarkable record of consistency, commitment and success, Speedway Sedans Australia (ASCF) and the National Association of Speedway Racing (NASR) are very pleased to confirm Wayne Brims as a contracted driver in the 2008/2009 Carline Mufflers National Super Sedan Series.
