FEATURE: Stone Brothers Racing restoration of the 2005 Supercars Championship winning race car

[@jimmymiddleton1307]

I love that just in an unassuming shed up in QLD that there's 2 of the best Supercars ever raced sitting in there. Mint.

[@venomxr8]

Best championship winning burnout ever

[@jacktudor6745]

💯 😎 One of the best looking supercars ever too!

[@aus80srockradio94]

I've never seen anyone try and replicate Ingall hanging out of the driver's door while doing so either. Legendary.

[@burnsiet]

Yeah, the ol' hanging out the door circle-work. Nice.

[@nmc356]

I've got to say this was my favorite era of V8 supercars. Myself and two mates took a factory black XD Fairmont Ghia, 351 manual on the spirit of Tassie to see these cars race at Simmons Plains for the full three days. When we left the paddock car park we thought we would be late to catch the boat back. Two guys in a hilux near us had the idea to get one bloke out with a vest on and directed his own car through the traffic out of the paddock. We cottoned on straight away and followed him as he made his own way out the paddock. One of the officials was sympathetic to our time line and radioed us through the rest of the paddock to get us out and on our way. We sat on 140km/h were we could and ended up with an hour to wait. We got great accommodation at a little place called the Cressy Hotel, played cricket in the bar and had a ball. The race event was excellent and lots of video of the pits, poll girls, racing and VB ute challenge. For me the V8 supercars have gone down hill from then. Bring back production cars as the main stay. Just like in the 60's

[@timothyphillips4801]

Yeah mate,those were the days...I remember burying beer on the hill at Bathurst,when we only had a few portaloo dunnies on the hill..they got shot with our potato gun lol...good times man.

[@timothyphillips4801]

Best era of super cars ever...diffs included.

[@dinosshed]

I love this show, it's too good, nothing is rehearsed and straight shooting for the conversation. This was a great time for the V8's, the cars actually look like the production equivalent and were built using the same sheet metal.

[@jraybay]

Those were my favorite cars when I was a kid : D The Pirtek and Vortex cars

[@matt.ja90]

The BA and BF were the toughest looking supercars of all.

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

Thats not how you spell VY!

[@rabbitnz8072]

The great years of V8 Supercars. When men were men and V8s ruled. Looking forward to watching the rebuild. 👍👍

[@timothyphillips4801]

And diffs made for rotation and closer racing in corners!!!.....cool times bro

[@mickbrenton]

Ross & Jimmy Stone are bloody legends!!!

[@devilxr1]

Great accomplishment by the Stone Brothers in this era, where team owners knew how to build racecars. Be a dream to see Rusty and the Devil Racer in both cars tearing up the track again. Well done Ross and Jim Stone, two legends where racing is the blood.

[@chrislevitzke2713]

Good on SB for keeping the racing history alive.

[@johnbroadbelt]

One of my favourite drivers , really enjoyed the enforcer when he was in the blue oval. Good times

[@drsolar]

I miss the enforcer and his team mate Tasmanian devil Ambrose and the Pirtek Ford. Stone Brothers Racing I get goosebumps righting the name. Legendary.

[@oldmanplays30]

Favourite V8 moment of all time. The win and the burnout. Absolutely glorious.

[@lancered4234]

Would love to see Russ and Marcos cut a few laps around Bathurst together when these two cars are completed.

[@woopimagpie]

Just keep Greg Murphy away from the track and she'll be apples. Lol. Although all these years later I doubt neither Greg nor Marcos would give a bugger. Probably sit down and have a beer together. Let's hope so eh.

[@HEKTIC458]

Amazing team combo & cars! My favourite team in that era.

[@Al-of3zp]

Best burnout in history! So much emotion so much relief.

[@lukeya1983]

Sensational burnout What a great vid with ross stone And the original cars Awesome

[@darylnicklen3685]

What a great moment SBR Ross and Jimmy what a team they commanded so many good things came from this team.

[@glowing1920]

Great stuff. To rebuild the 2005 championship winning car absolutely awesome. That burnout certainly helped remember it. Good job all round from team to driver.

[@formulafish1536]

I was within a few metres of Marcus a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t get the opportunity to say hello, but he it was cool just to know he was there. He had taken his daughter go-karting and I was providing first aid assistance at the event.

[@michaeldowlin6778]

Did he have his balaclava on? 🤣

[@formulafish1536]

Harry Morgan He wasn’t racing, but I don’t think he did 😂

[@woopimagpie]

@@michaeldowlin6778 LOL! That's GOLD!

[@falconpowerful2362]

I met him at Qld Raceway in 2003, he's a really nice guy and took time out of his schedule to sign autographs and get photos, even though he was supposed to be inside the corporate tent.

[@callummclachlan4771]

Used to partly live in Launceston. Don't know if I ever came across him. Probably did though.

[@erictheviking1977]

This is so cool, cannot wait to see Russell's car when it is fully restored. Good to see that the stones retained one of the tyres from Russell's championship burnout, that was epic!

[@l1a146]

Shit. Has it really been 15 years. It really was a great era. Looking forward to see this rebuild progress. Love to see you get the Pirtek car out for a drive in the meantime Russ.

[@fatman6121]

Such a gentleman and so humble

[@craigellis7556]

Super keen to see this series, great era of motorsport in this country. What absolute legends and gentlemen are Ross and Jimmie

[@mountainconstructions]

Perfect Timing

[@vortex925]

Half my life ago ohh the memories and to be in the same building, I was so disappointed when they stepped back.

[@adamarnold3154]

Thanks Russ and Ross. What a trip down memory lane.

[@horsepowerfrommiddleearth1723]

Russell Ingall, that victory burnout is the one all others are judged by, still remember the day ! The 2005 Eastern Creek round was legendary too. Still surprised you were let go from the commentary team ??

[@AvgeekCarGeek]

I can't wait to see Russell car completely rebuild

[@xk289ci]

We where there at Phillip Island, cheering Rusty on!! Great day!!

[@mrwolsy3696]

Love seeing old cars come back to original.

[@nolimitsgolf]

What a champion Rosco is !! What a great era of racing that was too.

[@bradhay430]

Would be great to see all the boys from SBR back together when the car is done

[@andyb2311]

one of the best years of my life Russell winning the championship , the swans won the flag and I got married , massive year .

[@tonneroffun]

Yep more of this behind the scenes/history stuff style of shorter video’s is awesome,more of it thanks 👍

[@tonneroffun]

Also a tour of the facility would be cool

[@neris27]

This was by far the 'Golden Era' of Touring Car Racing here in Australia. The cars were actually cars and a team could take on the big boys like HRT and win multiple Championships by working out of a modest shed, just from using their years of experience and expertise. Fantastic clip.

[@crunchytheclown9694]

Not a touring car

[@l1a146]

@@crunchytheclown9694 more like a touring car than the common chassis clones they run nowadays.

This is a great trip down memory lane. Following the build progress would make an awesome video series.

[@Outback_Truckie]

Great you are following the rebuild. Certainly brings back memories being at the track that day on the pit wall at Phillip Island, being in the workshop at Yatala numerous times and I will certainly never forget seeing your car being dynoed etc. Certainly my favourite era of V8 Supercars. 👍

Thankyou Jim, Ross and Russell. So good to see theses cars restored.

They still do burnouts

What a great story to follow. For such a successful car. Please keep these stories going.

Great project Russell ! Looking forward to watching the future episodes .

[@blueoval402]

Best car you drove Russell and the best burnout celebration.

[@bradleyaiken668]

Great video, keen to follow the progress of the build too

[@ThisWarIsOn]

how good would this be having them two cars in the "tin tops" running around a track again

[@chaoticature]

That would be amazing! The rarity & historic value would be better suited to cruising show car laps. Still well worth witnessing. I may be wrong though. Send it !

[@michaeldowlin6778]

13 minutes will have to suffice. I've been dying for a new episode fellas.

[@4dshow]

Quite a bit different from the workshops they run these days.

[@tomnewham1269]

I think you will find that the flash part of the workshop is through the door near the championship winning tyre is.

[@4dshow]

Tom Newham ahh i see

[@thatsimracer666]

Erebus has a really small shop similar to SBR and I loved Kelly had a massive workshop

[@slowoldboy]

Great motorsort supporters Ross and Jim

[@Robs_Life24]

Great Video. Great project can wait to see it progress.

[@7purse]

Be good if the the boys done a time line video of the full rebuild.

[@justin3131ify]

Aww yea boi, looking forward to following that for sure! Would really, really love to hear some of the gritty stuff along the way aswell. Like I know that the stones have a fantastic engineering back ground so would love to hear how they arrived at certain answers about things like cam shaft spec, trumpet and runner lengths, widths and sizes. Any rear control blade trickery, undertray tricks, exhaust and header design etc I just don't think we really get to hear about that sort of stuff these days.

[@michaelbeattie6953]

Hey Russ do you like the pies from the yatala pie shop? I could go a pie and peas now. Makes me homesick.

[@harryhunter114]

Best Pies in Australia, lucky i live close by.

[@rhettcorbett3346]

How bloody awesome is this video ? Being a old SBR Ambrose/Ingall fan. That bought back some old memories. The best burnout eva. And to still have the tyre from the burnout. Do they still have the other tyre ? Would love to see these Ambrose & Ingal BA's do some laps together. Eastern Creek maybe ???? Maybe get Russell torecreate the burnout..🤔🤔🤔. Or even a photo shoot together ? Just for old times sake. Russell might be a Holden man but his only Championship was won in a SBR BA FORD FALCON. Can't wait for more vids. Still reckon Ambrose's is the best looking BA Supercar. Have still got a handfull of SBR Ambrose/ Murphy shirts & a jacket. Onya boys. .👍👍👍👍👍👍. LEGENDS.

[@Heysey45]

Looking forward to the progress on the rebuild. Also would be awesome if they got Marcus up and you both got to drive them.

[@chrisbell8240]

Loved it . Please when is episode 20 coming out the kids are driving me crazy lol. I would fork out 10 bucks per episode if I had to . Great show boys.

Hey Rusty, you got a lot of faith with that masking tape holding that boot up and you hand on the guard

[@scottwilliam6141]

As a diehard Ford fan , it gave me enormous joy to see how they rattled Holden’s cage. And if it hadn’t been for that kiwi toss, they would have had another Bathurst victory.

[@carlosspiceyweineify]

This was the car of my child hood.

[@NewstartGarageOZ]

Definitely was a magnificent era of Australian motorsport. Especially with the cars still being actual cars, not a roll cage with fibreglass panels tacked on

[@callummclachlan4771]

It's actually interesting. Pretty sure the BA V8 Supercar had a slightly shorter wheelbase than the production one. If you're talking about being actual converted factory production cars the AUs (and the equivalent Commodores) were the last.

[@NewstartGarageOZ]

@@callummclachlan4771 . So you're claiming that Ford made two body shells. That would mean that they would also had to of made two different rear doors. All for the sake of about twenty eight bodies they'd spend millions of dollars making different dies for the pressing of the panels. Sounds like total fucking bullshit to me

[@nicholaslong7912]

Love that burnout

[@crazydave3780]

Crossing the track to watch the podium, I picked up a handful of rubber after Russ did that burn out. I was going to keep it but I didn't have anywhere to put it in so I dropped it thinking I would find something and grab more on the way back through. Didn't end up getting more, all ways a regret. I did get an awesome video of the burn out though :-)

ATT : RUSS and PAUL: How about doing a skype with Oscar ??? Renault Impressed with Oscar Piastri ! Renault R.S.18 F1 test at Bahrain International Circuit Nov 3. Renault Sport Academy Director Mia Sharizman said: "I am impressed with Oscar’s approach for his first day in the F1 car. He managed to get up to speed pretty quickly and complete his run plan. We can see from his first day that he is capable of adapting to a new car quite easily, which is one of the biggest traits that we would like to see. We had good feedback from the F1 engineers of the performance from all three drivers and they can see that the level is getting higher and higher each year, which is a good sign for things to come." When asked about Oscar one of the Renault crew remarked "Kids bloody good."

[@tomnewham1269]

I think the factory could do with some memorabilia on the walls. It would make the place a bit more special and interesting.

[@Tubbs888]

what does Ross mean by the '5' and '6' style gearbox?

[@grahamjgreen]

I took it to mean 5 and 6 speed, but I could be wrong.

[@Tubbs888]

@@grahamjgreen yeah, I thought so, too, but thought all boxes were 6 speed by then.

[@tungstentwohundredandtwent7007]

B Kirk yes, I’m sure they were all mandated Hollinger 6 speed by then but I think he was referring to some differences in the internals. “Dogs” was probably in reference to the actual gear engagement setup on the shafts.

[@clubsportr08]
