Nathan Pretty
Nathan Pretty seems to me to be a fairly good driver and thought highly of as a driver by Holden so how come he only gets a drive twice a year. Surely there must be something out there for him, especially in Konica.

Is he getting a run with Johnny Faulkner in Konica?

I would hope this would be the case Moffman, but it seems every tyrekicker in the motorsport world has been talking to JFR about a ride.
The only problem with being a tyrekicker is usually you dont have the $$ available when they are required, or indeed in the appropriate quantity, if at all..... It would make sense for Pretty to participate in a full season to make sure the rust is certainly scraped off, but a step down it would be from a pukka HRT car to a privateer JFR unit |

Nathan is a top bloke , I see him quite often around town and he stops and has a chat , he used to race karts at my local club and he is just awesome to watch in a kart, his V8 career hasnt really got off the ground though , he raced his own commodore a few years back finishing an excellent 7th outright in a race at winton which at the time was the highest place ever for a privateer, he has since sold the car and I believe also sold all or most of his other equipment being his auscars that him and his sister Nicole used to drive at the thunderdome.
he used to have a website which I was going to post here but sadly it looks like its been taken offline. but he is a fantastic driver and a great bloke to boot and always was willing to lend a hand or give advice to us young karters when he came for a visit , I remember being passed by him in practise once I thought I was flogging along and then he just zoomed by me and off into the distance , I stayed with him for a millisecond. he deserves a shot in the big league and a full time shot as well and hopefully his time will come , he is a holden contracted driver so maybe they will be able to slot him in somewhere ??? Go Get em Nath

He did a great job in the Monaro at Bathurst, and has proved (more or less) that you can get into a top drive by coming from an area other the single seaters.

Even as a Predominently Ford Fan, I have often Wondered why Nathan has only been used as a Enduro Driver ( and a damn good one at that) and not in a full time seat at TWR or one of the other holden teams. If I was running one of those teams Id choose him over some of the other "drivers" out there.
Maybe hes sleeping with the wrong people. |

Considering his links to GRM through the Nations Cup Monaro and Holden, I would have thought he would have ended up alongside Tander in the other Valvoline car. It would be good to see him get a regular gig, even if it is in the Young Guns Konica team.
