Rusty's Garage

Leaving school at a young age but always being industrious and with an eye for opportunity.
Becoming a member of the Gippsland Car Club and helping to build the Morwell Hill Climb.
Earning enough to buy a rare beauty - a Zephsca (pictured).
Racing the Sandown 500 in an HD Holden and convincing the local dealer that it would help them sell cars.
Riding shotgun with his son Paul well before ‘The Dude’ won Bathurst and what that GC Speedway experience in a Bomber was like?
On the Formula Ford committee and having fun in the ultra competitive Gemini class.
Plus a wild ride in Peter Adderton’s Nissan GTR with BTCC boss Alan Gow at the wheel.
And a backstory you may not have heard until now around a class win at Bathurst in the early 1990’s.
This is a wonderful convo that easily meanders between incredible success in business and a deep love of family and Motorsport.
Thanks to Mick Doohan, Donny Schatz, Paul Morris, Owen Kelly, Leigh Diffey, Alan Gow, Nigel Barclay, Nash Morris, Brodie Kostecki and more for their help before we recorded.

From swimming to singing and ultimately ending up managing the internationally respected Race Driver Training complex on the Gold Coast.
The opportunities she saw as Paul Morris championed the brand and now working with all sorts of manufacturers right round Australia.
School runs with a young Broc Feeney and Nash Morris and using her love of elite sport and PT qualifications to improve the fitness of some of Supercars biggest names.
Learning to waterski with Anton De Pasquale, coping with knock-backs and why Carina is a firm believer that “success leaves clues”.
While there was some study in the early years it’s been hands on learning and her inner drive that has helped Norwell become a Gold Coast destination, something she credits her tight-knit team for.
What it meant to be named a finalist in the GC Bulletin Women of the Year - Stars in Tourism award and why the guidence they give young instructors can help on their racing journey.
Paul and Carina never asked me to share the Norwell website when we recorded this but I’m going to anyway https://norwellmotorplex.com.au/
I’ve been lucky enough to drive cool some cars there over the years. The instruction/coaching I receive (every time) has made for some of the most memorable days, not just of my work life but personally too. 
If you’re thinking about a team building exercise, a Christmas party, a product launch or to improve your racing skills get in touch with them.

Code Sports’ Matt Hickey is back on the pod ahead of Round 13.
What are Kimi Antonelli’s chances of winning at home, or will the Tifosi get a Ferrari fairytale?
Lando Norris is in hot form as McLaren aims to turn up the heat on the Scuderia in the chase for second in the Constructors’ Championship.
Has Liam Lawson done enough to keep his place on the F1 grid next year? Rusty reckons he has.
Is Aston finally on the improve, plus the silly season that, so far, isn’t that silly.
Some Oscar Piastri perspective.
Oh, and does Matt Hickey need to update his IMDb profile for ‘Days of Thunder 2’, which will no doubt build on the clever camera work that captured the speed in the F1 movie?
It’s a timely chat with only a third of the season remaining. Maybe Mercedes won’t run papaya-style rules for its drivers for the run to the flag.

The decision, around the time of the pandemic, to buy a team, why he was ready and relished the new challenge.
Working with the Kelly’s and Ford as they set out to build a leading outfit in the ultra competitive Supercars pit lane and why he believes they are not there yet.

Negotiating speed humps with the brilliant Matt Payne and why their direct relationship is still tight.
