When cars were brought from Americans to race in Australian NASCAR, details eventually got lost and when those cars were sold to other Australians, people over time forgot who they got it from, just like this car.

The Oldsmobile rear bumpered Chevrolet Lumina.

A racetrack was the last place I expected to see a fruit tree but sure enough in front of the toilets at Calder Park Raceway was one and it was doing well.

Did you know that Kevin Schwantz won two Stock Car races in Australia? The first was at Oran Park (which doesn't exist anymore) and the second was at Adelaide International Raceway.

Kevin won in the cars that were nicknamed Elvis and Destiny.

Some people think that it is not cool to drive 30-year-old (or older) race cars, forget about them, drive what you want to drive, it is your life, do the things that make you the happiest.

I was playing NASCAR Racing 2003, a caution came out when I was running last, and the race was going to end under yellow; I pitted for repairs when pit road was closed, I then went around the field and joined the end of the line and crossed the line as the winner, I had won the race by a lap.

My NASCAR Racing 2003 fan car art of the John Faulkner Oldsmobile.
October 5, 2025 at 1:41 AM
When Oldsmobile was on its way out in NASCAR competition, they were for a few years quickly snapped up in Australia.

Tropic Coast Racing was a major purchaser of the cars, buying at least five of them from 1990 until selling or reskinning them by 93/94.

Tropic Coast Racing’s Oldsmobiles
Tropic Coast Racing used at least three Oldsmobiles before 1993/94 and they had some more to sell too.

In 1992, an Oldsmobile arrived in Australia, some say Doug Taylor built it, and some say Doug reconditioned it for Ian Thomas.

We're hoping that somebody from a Cup team or ARCA remembers selling an Oldsmobile to either Doug or Ian (an Australian) in 1992.

Do you know where this Australian Stock Car came from?
The origin of this Ian Thomas/John Faulkner/Eddie Abelnica/Paul Stocker Oldsmobile has frustrated those trying to track its earlier history, maybe you know where it came from.

I made my first car for the Cup 90 mod on NASCAR Racing 2003; it is the George Elliot #55 Chevrolet Lumina and while it couldn't be 100% replicated, I am happy as an amateur can possibly be.
