I would just like to say that Dion is one of the true greats in Teams Racing and speedway in general, Not just because he is the son of Evan. I am sure Dion has had the input from his family but after all, he is doing it now, with todays cars technology speed rules etc. His racing over the weekend was great to watch, two rolls overs in less than a lap was very instrumental in Wanganui making the semis. And this time it was NOT him getting rolled in one race.  Keep an eye on him, he's a one of the great drivers Well Done Warriors, you guys were great as were all the teams. |

He's a stunner alright , if it can move he uses it to the max.
When the going gets tough the tough get going.

Imagine what the guy could do if he had the budget of some of the "semi-pro" drivers. His stockcar has a dead motor after the NZ's at Blenheim, and the Doyle superstock will need a bit of fixing after the weekend's racing.
But I agree with Willess; Dion Mooney emerged from the shadow of his legendary father this weekend. He is the epitome of what speedway is about; a regular guy who, when the pit gate shuts behind him becomes a beast, an entertainer and a fierce never-say-die competitor.
Well done Dion Mooney!

Dion has always been awesome...even back in his old stockcar(red and yellow i think ) when the Std stock champs were in palmy and he was rolling cars with a totally damaged car. Really good as it wasnt even a car he drives all the time.
SOME ONE PUT HIM IN A KP TANK FOR A SEASON ;D

Then he hops into a superstock and carries on the smashing and bashing , his cars dont look like mega money machines but he drives the crap out of them ,good stuff ;D

Seen many a performance from Mooney in both ranks since the late 90s Legend does cut it and has been the star of teams for a number of years. |

I'm sorry babylon567...but I can't sit on my hands any longer.....
So many top drivers have taken minor titles or minor placing in Major champs.....but nothing actually anything of consequence , Doesn't mean they aren't anything special!
In time if Dion wants to chase a title I think it will come.....
At the moment he is giving what most people enjoy.... and some times thats little more exciting than winning a Major title... ( take nothing away from the guys who do win the big ones)
