Ernie Member 224 Member For: 17y 10m 16d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 04/02/09 04:57 AM Share Posted 04/02/09 04:57 AM just got this from a mate of mine.............im pretty stunned !Former ANDRA Champion Brett Stevens abruptly retired from drag racing on December 10, leaving many wondering what prompted his decision. Sources Down Under report that Stevens began offering all of his racing hardware for sale in the Internet.However, a report on Australia’s 9 News states that Stevens was among 45 people recently arrested on charges of drug trafficking after a year-long investigation. Officials seized $6M (AUD) worth of property including “high powered drag cars,” the televised report stated.A source close to Australian drag racing told CompetitionPlus.com that all of Stevens' racing equipment - including a Top Alcohol Funny Car, five Top Doorslammers, four nitro Harleys and a Pro Stock Buell - were seized.The final sting in this investigation came this morning when officials raided fourteen properties.Reportedly, this is the first of two major scandals expected to hit Australian drag racing this year. A source close to the situation told CompetitionPlus.com that one involving a former sportsman champion is soon to hit the newswire.http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/2009/0...coast-news.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Spinifex Guests Posted 04/02/09 07:34 AM Share Posted 04/02/09 07:34 AM (edited) When I first saw Brett Stevens, I`d just read American ZOOM, all about the history of drag racing. Last few chapters touched on drug peddlars. I had cable at the time and saw guys racing in the states who I thought.. oh, okay.. when I saw them..Brett promted this reaction from me.. Then I read folk say what an astute bidnez man he was etc.. I thought okay I was wrong, and anyway, how could a drug peddlar piece together a sponsor deal like JD?Well.. now..But who hasn`t seem people at the drags and thought: gosh, I wonder where he`s getting the dough to do THAT!?!It`s a shame really.

Posted 04/02/09 11:48 AM Author Share Posted 04/02/09 11:48 AM Wow just read this, I thought drag racing would be one of the sports where you don't need drugs to be better then everyone else......Obviously I was wrong. I think it more a case of manufacturing and selling more so than actual taking........they got done with pill presses , cash and all sorts of incriminating stuff....basically, he's RS.... I put Brett on the breath tester at the drags several times last year...and he came up fine every time.... However, this is just the sort of publicity we don't need and the bit that makes me really mad is the way that he drummed up an enormous fan base of our young people through his racing and all the while he was peddling this poison to them behind our backs..... Sorry, no sympathy here...cretin deserves everything he gets..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
