Sorry guys its not a personal gripe it's industry known im sure others feel the same way as drivers yes the best Australia as ever had but as approchable and embassodors to the sport i would disagree , apart from wayne walker being the best and proved it after being away from on road for 2 years and came back and kicked butt,and simon is not included in it so i apologise to simon.
If you mention ray and jesse davis or michael kerr and his dad as being approchable in the on road racing scene then i would agree 10000000%
take care guys

Hey,
i think most of the top guys are friendly and approachable, but ppl need to remember that everyone their bad days... and everyone handles that differently...
All the guys listed are top racers and more than willing to help out... it sure must get frustrating getting asked constant questions....

Josh Pain, so unfriendly, he hates telling anyone and everyone his setup, he hates enjoying drinks with racers afterwards LOL, oh but he loves the Police force in Australind
(just in case people dont get the sarcasm, all of the top guys i run into at the big meetings offer advise to anyone that comes along, Josh especially, cos when he tq's a meeting, like in WA, everyone wants the setup and i heard him tell it to people many times, problem is, Josh's setups dont work for many people, because not many people drive in the same style as him, so when they tried it, it wasnt working for them

Dylan Hutton is a young approachable up and comer!!! He has no problems helping AE drivers with setup or recommendations... sometimes even if someone doesn't want or ask for it!!!

Painy is a legend after the rc pro on the sunny coast he jump in with me to come down to brisbane and man did we have some laughs even at drinks with jason and dave sims from ryper .dinner at lonestar with josh trying to pick up the waitress as a joke what a laugh then falling asleep in the pub next door .lol
The other thing i asked Josh was will he be sponsored by AKA and you know what josh said to me and i have never heard this from anyone especially a pro driver and a distribtutor for AKA he said Angelo im the distribtutor id rather give the tyres to our factory drivers than worry about myself .
Now thats what i call a gentlemen and someone who really cares for the sport by not thinking about himself but others .
more zac ryans,wayne walkers,josh pains,andrew fords,andrew gillots ,timmy g's and no sky will be the limit on what our sport can do in this country and beyond.Any others i have forgotten who a nice guys i apologise

I know he’s not Australian (he did race here), but Ryan Lutz is the only pro driver I’ve met here so far in OZ and he’s a cool righteous dude.
Adam Drake was in my heat races at RCPRO, he introduced himself to me and spoke about how good the weather and country was when on the control tower, just before the heat race to lap me 3 times.
