 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 (picture left)
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.
Finally, Phil would like to
thank his major Sponsor's, Dearies Spray and Pumping
Equipment and Semple's Pump Centre for all of their
support.
