WHEN you have a winning formula, the key to staying on top is minor fine-tuning.

That’s the case for Mutdapilly-based Pascoe family, led by dad Matt and his sons Brad and Zac.

After dominating a number of races on last season’s national speedway circuit, the trio opened their latest campaign with a slow start in the recent Toowoomba final.

However, it didn’t take defending national champion Brad, long-time winner Matt and rising talent Zac to restore their winning ways.

The father and son team finished first, second and third in both 35 lap feature finals at the latest speedway circuit in Gympie.

It was the fourth time in two seasons that the driven Pascoe family had secured all spots on the podium.

Matt said the difference between the latest Toowoomba and Gympie events was trying something different and returning to proven set-ups when that approach was unsuccessful.

“We know we’ve got a package that works,” Matt said, proud of the Gympie trifecta success.

“In Toowoomba we were way off. We were trying some new stuff with the car.

“But [in Gympie], we’ve gone back to standard – what the boys are running.”

Brad won both finals with former Queensland champion Matt coming second and third respectively.

Zac finished third on night one and second in the following final, coming from ninth on the grid.

Brad was crowned the top driver in the 2023-24 National Super Sedan Series, with four wins, 10 podiums and 17 top five finishes from 18 races.

Matt finished second and Zac was third in the national series.

Brad has returned in top form having spent nearly three months earlier this year crewing for a team that won five races in the United States.

“He’s pretty switched on with his car,” Matt said.

“He works 24/7 on it so he knows everything about the car and just studies everything that he changes.”

Matt, who oversees the team’s workshop at Mutdapilly, hopes that consistency continues in future weeks.

The trio race in Gladstone this weekend before returning to Toowoomba next month and back to Gladstone in December.

Matt said working together as a family was an advantage as they help each and feed off each other’s successes travelling around the country.

“When we race each other, we make sure we all finish . . . and not take each other out,” Matt said.
