Mingay, Milne and Nads for Slamfest

Matt Mingay - one of the country's most famous stunt bike performers - and his Stuntz Inc crew riders Allan 'Nads' Morrisson and Dan Milne will be out there showing off their amazing skills on the eighth mile between Doorslammer runs.

The Stuntz Inc crew is well-known across the country as official on-track entertainment providers for the V8 Supercars series, while Mingay's stunt credentials - which include work as a stunt double for Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible 2 and the completion of the world's longest 'wheelstand' on a Harley Davison at 54 kilometres - are unquestionable.

Riding a 2009 Harley-Davidson Nightster 1200, Mingay will be hard to miss at the eighth mile drag racing spectacular.

"We have been on track for quite a few rounds of the Slamfest Series already and let me tell you, they always deliver fantastic racing," said Mingay.

"We can't wait to get on track in Gladstone for Benaraby Raceway's round of the Series. The crew and I are getting ready to put on some awesome performances for the crowd to back-up the thrilling action of the Top Doorslammers - it is going to be a great day out that is for sure!"

Slamfest Series co-owner Peter Kapiris, also the champion of the 2012 Series, said it was as an honour to be able to bring someone of Mingay's reputation to the people of Gladstone for next weekend's round three of the 2013 Series.

"Almost everyone knows who Matt Mingay is, the man is a legend in Australian motorsport especially for those who love their motorbikes," said Kapiris.

Now entering its fourth year, the Slamfest Series sees Top Doorslammer racers from around the country competing across the eighth-mile distance at Australia's regional tracks.

At Benaraby Raceway (round three of the six-round 2013 series), eight 3,500hp Top Doorslammer machines will be in action. Kapiris will be joined by Victor and Ben Bray, John Zappia, Gary Phillips, Russ Pavey, Murray O'Connor and Grant O'Rourke.

Before the on-track festivities get underway, a special off-street meet will be held on Friday afternoon at Harbour City Harley-Davidson (85 Hanson Road, Gladstone), with Mingay on hand to sign autographs from 4.00pm to 5.00pm before undertaking a demo for the fans in the shop's carpark.

Gates will open at 8.00am, Saturday, June 29, with racing commencing at midday. Children aged 12 years and under gain free entry when accompanied by an adult while those aged 13 to 17 years (as well as concession holders) can purchase tickets for just $20.00.
