Tony Fehlhaber #138 returned to the winner’s circle on Sunday after a memorable victory at the inaugural Miles Tyre and Battery 150 Miles, hosted by the Brisbane Sporting Car Club.
Fehlhaber survived the chasing pack, and a challenging 238kms of the new Miles layout to claim his first ARB Mickey Thompson Queensland Off Road Championship round triumph in many years.
Fehlhaber and navigator Dylan Goodsir crossed 1.27 minutes clear of their nearest rivals to secure a long-awaited victory, capping off a near-flawless weekend behind the wheel of the team’s Class 1 Chenowth.

Despite battling late mechanical issues, Conroy Devine and Cameron Von Boehm #608 powered through to secure the Class 6 silverware and third outright, finishing the 150 Miles just nine seconds behind Krog to cap off another standout performance.
