Phil started racing at the old Ballarat Airport track on a GS750 in 1980, racing two full seasons before building his first race bike. After 10 seasons, the old bike was sold and a GS1000 lay down bike was purchased. In 1991, he built a modified bike was using a GS1000 frame and motor and upgraded to a GSX1100 after the 1992 Nationals.
When Phil's son Sam turned 18, he took over the ridding duties on the mod bike while Phil concentrated on a new bike - a GSX1166 Turbo machine (pictured right). While searching for a gearbox that would handle to turbo power - Phil discovered another turbo Suzuki that had the gearbox already in it and an all important chrome-moly chassis that would allow him to compete in Top Bike.
Phil recently had the opportunity to purchase his dream machine, a supercharged nitro-burning four cylinder top bike. 'Gracie' as the bike is called has been a great bike to the Family Parker Racing team bringing phil his first 7 very quickly and recently re-set his personal bests to 7.48 seconds and 180mph. Phil is hoping to take this bike into the six second zone at 200mph.
