Mundy hoping to take the heat off at Mallala.

Actron Air Racing's, Kevin Mundy is all fired up and ready to ignite at round six of the Konica V8 Supercar Championship at Mallala on the 30 - 31 August 2003.

Mundy's second visit to the South Australian circuit in 2002, ended in disaster when his Actron Air Falcon was virtually destroyed by fire. He was unable to complete a race at the event.

"Hopefully luck will be on our side this year," Mundy said, "However I am taking a fire extinguisher with me just in case.

"The new Actron Air slogan is 'keep your cool' which is a good omen for the Actron Air Falcon in the lead up to Mallala this year."

Mundy is hoping to set the track ablaze and keep his Actron Air Falcon out of the carnage that has cost him valuable championship points and positions over the last two rounds.

"Things really haven't gone to plan lately. At Winton I recorded my first DNF for the season and damaged the steering arm in the Actron Air Falcon when we were an innocent passenger in a race two accident," Mundy commented.

"On the positive side, I have gained a lot of experience in passing traffic over the last few rounds, which will hopefully work to our advantage during the reverse grid in race two."

With Mark Winterbottom wrapping up the 2003 Konica V8 Supercar Championship during round five at Winton, Mundy is hoping to climb up the championship ladder where he currently sits in eighth position.

"Even though the championship has been won there is only 140 points between fourth and tenth place. It just shows the competitive nature of the Konica V8 Supercar Series. I think a top ten finish is a reasonable goal for us, considering the misfortune we have been having," Mundy said.

"The guys at Paul Cruickshank Racing have done a fantastic job preparing the car this year. Last round we showed everybody just how good the car is by starting the third race outside the top 20 and finishing ninth.

"Unfortunately Mallala is the last round of the championship and it seems like such a shame as the car continues to improve. Hopefully we will be back next year and looking forward to bigger and brighter things."
