Clint George, driver of the Stress Racing GXP will be back on track for Round 1 of the NDRC/PDRC Pro Stock Championship after spending a majority of last season on the sidelines. The NSW Central Coast local will make the short trip down to Sydney Dragway on the 15-16 in November in what will be an epic opening round of the season.
“This season we are looking to progress into the sixes, I like the challenge of making anything go faster and the engineering involved. We are aiming to succeed whilst still remaining a humble and respectful competitor” said George. Pro Stock has been compared to Formula 1 in terms of the rate of development the cars undertake, and Clint George is no exception. “I have two brand new engine combinations that I have been working on and currently in the process of developing. I have also spent alot of time reworking the camshaft design, valve train and piston design on my old faithful engine which im still running with”.
When asked where the Stress name originated from, Clint replied “The name/plate came from my Mum Faye, after seeing what my Father Michael, friends, family and I went through to try and succeed in this sport, the trials and tribulations of such a time consuming and somewhat stressful situations with lots of hours and effort that is put into trying to be better and do better in a sport I love. She said you should use the name Stress as your team name, and so it was decided”.
Stress Racings journey into Pro Stock is not an overnight one. The team started when Clint was 17 years old in Super Street running a HQ Monaro. “I was then given the opportunity from Al, owner of Easy Motors Central Coast to drive his Torana in Super Sedan at Eastern Creek. throughout this time Al taught me a lot of invaluable knowledge in his machine shop and at the track. From there, at 19 I had gone on to build my own UC Torana in Red for Super Sedan duties. ”Clint’s UC Torana paved the way, with all of Clints car’s being painted in the striking red colour scheme after the Torana. “By the time I turned 29 I was now racing a 400 cube Chev Cavalier in Super Stock in which I received numerous Gold Christmas trees and reset the B/APA record in 2014 which still stands.Following on from my success in Super Stock, in 2019 my childhood dream of racing Pro Stock was achieved, with my 400 cube Pontiac GXP. I’m here now at 44 years old, currently still learning and improving trying to get closer to the elusive 6 second pass”.
