ECPR : Farr & Ecpr Ready To Finish Season Off On A High

( May  6, 2011 ) Last weekend East Coast Pipeline Racing and Robbie Farr contested the rain affected XXXX Australian Open. The team qualified well but sustained damage to the Jacob's Ladder whilst leading the race causing Robbie to muscle the #7 ECPR/KRE/Maxim home to finish in 6th place.

Robbie and the team felt that with the strong car they had that the $10 000 winners cheque went begging, little things like that can dampen a teams confidence but this team will bounce back strong this weekend at Brisbane International Speedway.

Robbie Farr and the East Coast Pipeline Racing Team will contest the Crispy Memorial / KRE Race Engines Sprintcar Series this Saturday night at Brisbane International Speedway.

Farr Wins In Brisbane

( Apr  13, 2011 ) - Robbie Farr & The East Coast Pipeline team were back on track in Brisbane last weekend, having a win in the KRE track championship round after not having the best of runs in Adelaide the weekend prior too. It was good to get back on familiar ground where the team has had success already this year.

Farr was quick all night, being fastest in time trials & breaking the 6 lap record in the dash on the way to pole in the main event. "It was good to be that quick all night, we are very happy with the car and the team has continued to move forward since World Series" commented Farr this week.

When the A main took the green Farr felt confident enough with the car straight up that barring any mechanical mishaps he felt he could win the race. That feeling paid off, as Farr & the number 7 East Coast Pipeline KRE, took the checkered flag & a victory in the teams home town.

Farr is looking forward to this weekend at Dubbo Speedway for the two day $10,000 to win 410 Sprintcar Diggers Cup. Along with the impressive prize money is also the opportunity to run with the NSW sprintcar group, something Farr has not done a lot of this season.

The weekend after Dubbo is Easter time, and for something different this season Farr & ECPR will venture north to contest in the Queensland Easter Trial. This will be a first form the team, but Robbie stated "it made complete sense for the boys to stay near home at this end of the season and provide an opportunity for the car owner to see his team race a few more times prior to the seasons end".

Robbie Farr & Ecpr Become 2010/2011 World Series Champions

( Feb  20, 2011 ) - The heading says it all Robbie Farr is your 2010/2011 World Series Sprintcar champion after a tough 16 round series which saw consistency become the main key to the game.

Going back to round 1 back in November 2010, the ECPR team tore a car apart & were forced to make dramatic changes just to make the main event, looking back at that moment it could have been the series most valuable decision because going into tonight's grand final at the Perth Motorplex Farr was only a slender 90 points in front of eventual second place getter Dave Murcott.

Farr, Nick Speed & all the boys on the ECPR team are an awesome combination & under complete pressure this weekend and they showed why this is one of the greatest teams in the country "driving for Baz is not just a job, it's an honor & i relish it everyday, he supplies the best gear for the job & speedy & the boys make it work for me, it is a dream job & I cant thank them all for their efforts, this is a much their championship as it is mine" commented Farr after he championship victory tonight.

Robbie Farr & The East Coast Pipeline Racing team will enjoy a well deserved weeks break before heading to Bunbury City Speedway for the annual krikke Boys Race on March 5th & 6th, 2011.

Wss Championship Is Still The Big Picture For Robbie Farr & Ecpr

( Jan  18, 2011 ) - After a few slow weeks on the points side for Robbie Farr & The ECPR team, last weekend they got back on track with a second at Murray Bridge Speedway & a 5th at Speedway City Adelaide, “Speedway City would have been another second, but we had problems with the right rear going down at the end of the feature race and managed to limp home in 5th, & that says a lot for this ECPR team. I am very confident we had the car for a solid second putting us back in the hunt” commented Robbie Farr from Melbourne yesterday.

Robbie also noted “after so much down time in Brisbane & Mildura due to the floods & having to sit around a lot and missing the racing, the ECPR team were itching to get back on the track, but at the end of the day if we miss out on racing because of the rain & floods, that’s nothing compared to the devastation the people of Queensland have to now overcome, the ECPR team sends all the best wishes their way”

“We are still right in the hunt for this WSS title & I can’t wait till the western swing in February, WA is always a place we have done well at, some of our best tracks are in the west like Bunbury and the Motorplex and I can’t wait to get back to Manjimup Speedway, that place is awesome. We are happy at where we are at & now looking forward to the challenge ahead”

This week’s schedule for the East Coast Pipeline Racing team will start with non championship races at Avalon Raceway for the Presidents Cup on Wednesday night & then move onto the Kings Challenge at Mount Gambier on Friday night before we roll out for the big one, the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic at Premier Speedway Warnambool. From there the team will stay based in Warnambool for the Wednesday night prelude to the Australian Sprintcar Title the following weekend another race “I would like to win again said a very pumped up Robbie Farr”.

Tough Speedweek Series For Ecpr Only Makes Them Stronger

( Jan  3, 2011 ) - Robbie Farr & The East Coast Pipeline team didn’t quite get the result they wanted from East Coast Pipelines Speedweek but at the same time made some good progress going forward with points & development of the #7 ECP/Eagle Chassis.

Round 5 @ Speedway City Adelaide was a 4th place finish for the team on a very tough track, but a solid finish for the team, Round 6 @ Murray Bridge Speedway, earned the ECPR team another top 6 finishing in 5th position after the a main, Round 7 @ Borderline Speedway Mount Gambier still had the #7 Vermeer Eagle hanging on to finish in 7th place & helping the team secure valuable championship points, Round 8 @ Avalon Raceway, Geelong was not what the boys needed, A DNF when your chasing a championship is critical, but the ECPR team now need to make sure that was the glitch round while hunting for a championship.

Warnambool for round 9 was the last swing on the Speedweek tour & tonight’s result for the team even though not a win, got them back in the hunt. Robbie Farr started seventh and finished fourth and in doing so regained the series points lead which he enjoys by six points over David Murcott.

“We sort of got rolling around a bit,” Farr said from the infield. “Fourth is not bad…we were decent but we weren’t great.” He said the three cars in front of him were better on the night. “We will take fourth after Avalon the other night. I wanted to thank all the boys & speedy for their efforts over the past week or so, it is hard work on the road but especially hard when you have to back up night after night, this is a very professional team & im proud to be a part of it & looking forward to the challenges ahead over the next 8 weeks”

( Dec  17, 2010 ) - For Robbie Farr & The East Coast Pipeline Racing Team the two weeks spent in Tasmania for the World Series Sprintcars was one that was great for promotion but not so good on the race track.

Hobart was a rubber down one lane race track, pretty much where everyone started they finished, but still a points gaining race even if it wasn't a great points haul. Latrobe the following week was another of those nights where we thought the track would be different than it was, but unfortunately for the team we were caught out, so the two Tasmania rounds were not the best in results but we still have plenty of races ahead in the WSS to gain the points lead back.

This weekend we move onto Warnambool Speedway for SRA Eureka Garages & Sheds Series R5, it will be good to be able to have a run & not worry about chasing points as well as getting in some much needed R&D in readiness for the Australian Sprintcar title there in January 2011.

(Nov  30, 2010 ) - To lead every lap of the World Series Sprintcar feature races so far in 2010 would have been a pipe dream for Robbie Farr & East Coast Pipeline Racing team but the fact is it is reality, the hardest thing now is to continue the form the team have found into Tasmania this weekend and for the rest of the series.

Toowoomba was the final race in this Queensland swing of WSS and to again come out on top is a credit to the hard working ECPR team, it was always going to be tough as other teams will find that lost form of round 1, but for Robbie Farr it’s all about building that points buffer for the bigger picture, a World Series Sprintcar crown.

Things didn’t quite get off too plan in Toowoomba, the ECPR Eagle suffered some minor fuel issues in hot laps & time trials putting the #7 in 10th position after that session.

The title sums it all up, you think that starting the night of round 1 of World Series Sprintcars with quick time and the topping it off with a feature win that we had an easy night, but let me tell you about the middle part of the evening.

Getting Quick time right off the bat & will pill number 1 was just the start the team needed to get this series off the ground, so back in the pits the team & I were looking forward to solid results in the heats to set ourselves up for a good start in the final.

Heat 1 we started out of 10th & moving forward quite nicely, on the last lap Farr came off turn 4th looking to gain a few more places before the finish line only to get tagged & turned straight into the wall, Farr managed to keep the momentum of the car going and keep his foot fairly planted hard to get the car across the line to finish in 8th position, picking up very valuable points. Heat 2 was more of a simple plan, finish & gain points towards the final.

Farr & East Coast Pipeline Racing All Set For WSS - BCM

For Robbie Farr & East Coast Pipeline Racing this weekend’s World Series Sprintcar opener in Brisbane couldn't come soon enough, a few rain outs & some good form has this team ready to lead into another national Australian series.

After trying conditions in Sydney where again weather played the biggest part in the race where we managed to get the race in but on a rain effected race track, this was hard work for the boys, but they pulled through strong.

Farr finished on the podium in Sydney for last weekend’s BBX Sprintcar Spring Nationals $10,000 to win event, and having a 11th starting position & finishing 3rd in that type of company showed that ECPR are on track for a heavy assault on this year’s WSS.
