Graham and Smee Join Forces!
As work continues in the NSR workshop,
two hours south of Sydney another race
team is busily preparing their racecar
in anticipation for one of the most
important Speedcar races on this seasons
schedule; the Magic Man 34 tribute race.
Passed by NSWSA Speedcars Australia
delegates, the Spike/Barry Graham Hawk
#14 will once again take to the clayway;
this time with Nathan Smee behind the
wheel. With his own race seat fitted to
the Steven Graham machine, Nathan is
ready to compete on October 27.
Flying in for the practice session prior
to the race meeting, it will be the
third time Nathan takes to Perth’s
Motorplex,
“I’m really happy to race the 34 laps as
tribute to
Michael Figliomeni.
He adapted quickly to any track and was
one of Australia’s greatest talents”
said Nathan when confirming his entry.
“It will be my first race of the season,
and I like racing at Kwinana, so I’m
looking forward to getting back behind
the wheel.”
There is a long association between the
Graham and Smee families with both
Fathers Barry and Gordon legends in the
sport. With this early connection,
Nathan was first offered driving laps in
the initial stages of the driving school
and jumped at the chance at 15 years of
age.
Having spent a number of years since
racing side by side in Australia &
America, Steven has now offered his
immaculate ride to Nathan for the Figs
Tribute race.
“I would really like to thank Steven for
offering his midget to race, along with
everyone who helps us on the night,”
said Nathan “There are a few of us are
flying across so hopefully we can put on
a good show”.
Nathan Smee Racing flights are booked;
get to Kwinana on October 27 and support
the Richard Petty Driving Experience
#14.
