Rolling Thunder Racegear was setup 3 years ago
to design, supply, and market exclusively up market racing merchandise for World
Series Sprintcars. It all started with a call from World Series Race Director
and owner Wade Aunger to Mike Cowan Director of Head’s Caps in Melbourne. World
Series were in a need for someone to take total control of the merchandise and
build a special purpose truck and trailer to go to the events and sell directly
to the race fans.
It took 4 months from the start to the finished
stage of the truck and trailer combination, we started by ordering a brand new
Ford F 350 series twin cab truck, and purchased a fifth wheel race car trailer
off Super Sedan hot foot Wayne Belk. Wayne had decided to sit out the following
race season, and concentrate on his business, this was great for Mike Cowan as
the basics were already there. After 4 months the they were ready to roll and
head off to Bunbury in Western Australia, for the 1st round of World Series
Sprintcars. From that date the rig has performed superbly and is still in action
around the race circuits today.
During the last 3 years the merchandise has improved with better designs, better
quality and sales have improved from the first year out of sight. This years
range of products have been increased again and we are hoping for another great
year around the tracks.
