oh well done, you worked out that he is appearing in court.
i think this was worked out some time ago and there was no question about it.
its just your making yourself look pretty silly talking about a close family whom you know nothing about and pretending to be the big shot in the motor racing scene.
so are you saying every large motor racing company runs off drug money?


you're either illeterate or a massive idiot.

he clearly said other racing teams find other income to support their team. such as merhandising and automotive related parts etc. he didn't in any way suggest that all racing teams resort to drugs.

condemning him purely because of what you saw on tv/internet is stupid.
saying he's definately innocent because he and his family are "really nice" is equally unintelligent.

in closing;
you're all morons.

STATEMENT REGARDING ARREST OF FORMER COMPETITOR

The Australian Drag Racing Association (ANDRA) makes the following statement on the arrest of retired national competitor Brett Stevens.

“This is an enormously disappointing situation for everyone involved in the sport,” said ANDRA CEO, Mr Tony Thornton.

“It is imperative that it is made clear that ANDRA, its members and our corporate partners do not condone in any way the illegal activities that have allegedly occurred.

“Our track promoters work diligently to convey a safe and family-friendly sport which produces some of the most spectacular entertainment in Australia – a lot of it at alcohol-free or restricted venues.

“We also run a drug testing policy for competitors at all levels of our sport which is under constant review and improvement.

“Major sports with thousands of competitors and fans across the country such as ours face similar controversial situations all the time, but we, like those, will weather the storm and ensure we are stronger, whatever the final outcome.

“Everyone in the sport of drag racing understands the seriousness of the allegations. We will not be making any further comment until proceedings are finalized.”

Drag racing champion granted bail

February 4th, 2009

A DRAG racing champion who lives north of the Gold Coast and who was arrested on serious drug charges yesterday, has been granted bail.

Brett Raymond Stevens, 44, of Narangba, faced Brisbane Magistrates Court this morning after being charged with six drug offences as part of a year-long police investigation.

High-performance street vehicles worth millions of dollars were seized at Yatala yesterday with police activating 15 search warrants across the Gold and Sunshine coasts, Brisbane and in NSW.

Mr Stevens is charged with trafficking, producing and supplying drugs was well as possessing drug property.

The court was told shortly before his arrest authorities got a court order to freeze assets connected to Mr Stevens including his race car fabrication business, leaving him with no access to cash to mount a surety for bail.

Magistrate Sheryl Cornack granted bail, noting Mr Stevens had known he was under investigation for some time and had made no attempt to flee.

Ms Cornack also noted Mr Stevens' unusual hairdo, with bleached side panels marked with tracks and a dark centrepiece flowing down to a tail at the back.

Did he do that voluntarily to his own hair, she asked.

Mr Stevens is known for his drag racing success, having won several national championships in the sport since 1992.

The matter was adjourned for mention on March 30.

X2 i think people need to just wait till the actual facts come out!

The media hasnt reported the equipment was found at his place and at last count im sure they didnt have 11 drag cars so there must be other people involved in this....


No, he had/has 11 vehicles - I've worked on most of them.

Exactly. To what extent he's involved in this, nobody yet knows. Kath is one of the nicest people I've met and even though Brett doesn't really look it, I've only ever seen him being a really decent guy.

QUOTE(March_Hare @ Feb 4 2009, 11:36 AM) [snapback]1283525364[/snapback]

How much money do you think it costs to run such a large team like they had? now how much sponsorship dollars do you think they actually get? There arent many people in any form of motorsport in the world that dont fund their race team with their own money. Some of you overestimate just how much money sponsors are prepared to put up for motor racing in this country, do you really think they are throwing millions of dollars at him to totally fund the entire operation? Quite simply the market just isnt big enough to warrant that sort of outlay.


Lots, and yes - sponsorship was a MASSIVE part of it. Apart from the drag team, Brett also owned a tattoo shop, fabrication business and a trucking company and put countless hours/dollars into it.

sorry, i dont know how to use the multiple quote function yet.

youbUTEless 33 - end of the day bret and kath are really lovely people, and should probably be treated with the respect that they have earnt and deserve until some solid facts come out.

-agreed, his name probably only came out cause he's a famous drag racer amongst the people arrested, don't ever trust the media, entertaining stories sometimes but not always the complete truth.

JuStDaVe - sponsors droped with the economy and with out the sponsors brett from what i have heard was going to sell of cars and stuff to pay out any debts. Both Brett and Kath im sure will be cleared have known them for ages and are both genuine ppl if u ask me.

- ^^^ only intelligent thing said in this entire thread. hope so dave, fingers crossed, brett comes across as a top bloke, never met or seen kath before. would be tragic if this is how he goes out. hard to say why he chose to sell up/retire now, apparently he knew he was being investigated for a while so maybe all this stuff in the media isnt so closely linked to him as its made out to be, i mean if u thought u were being investigated and 40 people before u were arrested, would u stick around with cash and drugs lying around you? i hope his paperwork is all in order, they will be going through it for months and years, by the looks of the news reports and 12 month investigation, something is gonna stick to him even if its only minor and charges will be made against him, maybe someone else will take the rap for the major stuff, either way, i dont think he's completely off free, he can be charged just for having the drugs and equipment on his premises, lets pray for a light sentence or non involvement for brett, can only wait and see now, will be very interesting to watch. could only imagine how he's feeling right now, its gonna take a lot outta him and his family.

youbUTEless 33 - X2 and he announced his retirement on skye's 3 birthday the other week (his daughter) and he just about had a full tear rolling down his cheek. if anything i would say it was the people working there, who they have allways had problems with, because bret, kath and james would just not do this IMO.

probably had tears in his eyes cause he knew it was all over (drag racing, cars etc) and his life was about to change majorly, for better or worse, who knows. maybe he left his dash just a little too late, 12 months earlier and it might of been a different story.

silver s13 - There's few facts in this thread, lets just wait until things have been proven by court and not listen to the media.

-agreed, never trust the media.

HSV MALOO - Say what ya like about him but at the end of the day
he was a fantastic drag racer and could driver a car better then anyone one.
How he got to where he was who cares....He knew how to put on a show, he knew how to drive cars and bikes With all the word records he broke he needs to be congratulated for this.

-yes the bloke was a champion, i'd like to see the next guy that could hold onto his bikes down the 1/4 mile, no one on this forum, thats for sure. he will be missed bigtime in the drag racing community.

scatrd - you haven't got a clue have ya. its ALL about how you 'get there', just think about drug cheats in sport. yeah sure they can put on a hell of a show but at the end of the night they cheated. just like this guy.

-no cheating was involved m8, sure, a truckload of cash (no matter how its acquired) would certainly help in getting to the top quicker and help maintain that level of eliteness, but no amount of money can supply the skill and knowledge of this bloke, if someone was given unlimited money, they still gotta know how to swing the spanner and hold on to the steering wheel for dear life. a huge amount of money only accelerated the inevitable. brett stevens is a drag racing legend, no one does it better and i don't think anyone will be able to reach his level now that he has retired, not unless they hire him.

lostheadcase - The man was doing a community service, because fuckwits take drugs and drugs make fuckwits more likely to arrange a swift exit from the gene-pool.

Give him a medal.

-LOL, u're right.

nightingalemotorsport - geeze, you would think J.D. would have the shits hey.

-why??? any advertising is good advertising, might drink me a few jd's this weekend actually, not a bad drop.

can only wait for the solid facts to be released now and sentencing to commence.
