🔴⚫ XLR8 MOTORSPORT — PARTNER ANNOUNCEMENT! 🔴⚫

🔧🔥 WELCOME ABOARD PHANTOM ENGINEERING! 🔥🔧

We're stoked to welcome Phantom Engineering to the XLR8 Motorsport family as a proud partner for the 2026/27 speedway season! 🏁🃏

I have known Ricky for over 30 years from when we used to race together back in "the good old days" of streetstock racing.
We have had some mega battles on the track and wrecked lots of each other's gear but have always had a b**r and laugh afterwards.

Ricky and his wife Angie Lee are true "Speedway people" and huge Grubby fans and we are very excited to have Phantom Engineering backing the team all the way from Milburn in the deep south.

The guys at Phantom know their way around a welder, and there's not much they won't tackle!
