MicMel Racing (Coulter Excavation)
Steve Coulter
Steve "Hollywood" Coulter’s list of driving experience is as large as his personality. Steve has driven in many championships, both state and national, competed in V8 Supercar and is a 7 times National Truck Racing champion.
Oz Truck has given Steve the opportunity to realize a long time dream of being able to compete side by side with his son Michael. Steve is the owner and manager of Coulter Excavations in Sydney. Steve approaches his racing with the same dignity and passion he has approached his business, and this shows through with his ever present trucks being seen at many racetracks up and down the east coast. Being beaten to the 2011 championship by his son has made his passion for racing just a little stronger, watch out for "Hollywood" in the coming seasons.
Michael Coulter
Michael’s personality runs in sync with his dad’s. Michael’s love of racing shows through with his competitive nature. He started his career not that long ago racing with Steve in the National Truck Racing championship and established himself as a true competitor. In the Oz Truck Michael has gone from strength to strength as his 2011 Championship win shows. Michael has now joined Coulter Excavations and is a full time employee, when he is not away racing.

Miles Racing
Truck No 48
Truck No 88
Miles Racing founder Wayne "Milo" Miles has been involved with Oz Truck since the beginning. Being invited to attend the U.S when Greg and Graham first floated the idea puts Milo as one of the founding members. Wayne’s speedway experience and business prowess was appreciated by the Oz Truck guys in the early days.
The Miles racing team has now grown to include a number of Development series Supercars and Miles Racing has been instrumental in the bringing forward of a number of young drivers. Many of which have competed in the trucks as part of that process. Miles racing will continue to nurture the young talent and that will always make the 48 and 88 trucks a competitive force.

Peter Robinson
As a long time racing fan, self-employed businessman Peter Robinson is looking forward to his inaugural year of Oz Truck Stock Car Racing. Not only does it ignite his racing spirit, but gives him a hands-on hobby and weekend sport to escape to.
As the Managing Director of Hy-Performance Fluid Power, Peter has seen his company start from scratch to now be an Industry leader that employs 30 talented staff, Peter is finally able to focus his efforts on a full racing season. Having asked what he looks forward to most – Peter replied "I’m looking forward to concentrating on being the best I can be at this sport. I have spent my life working and building this great business, so it’s time for a change".
"Oztruck is all new for me so I’ve asked someone with a life time of experience to help in our corner. Glenn Seaton of V8 Touring Car fame will be that guy tutoring me on car set up and driving. Just to get this far I need to acknowledge that none of the above would have been possible without support from my wife and family and from the great staff at work to keep the wheels turning back at the shop, so I thank them all for their efforts."
Repco Australia have also seen the potential of OzTruck Racing, they too want to be on the ground floor and have given their support to the #8 Race truck for 2012 Season, thank you to Repco Australia.
Peter is proud to have his family and colleagues on his side as he embarks on the OzTruck experience, and with his first grandchild on the sidelines in 2012 he’ll be a determined yet charismatic racer. Keep an eye out for Pete sporting the Repco and Hy-Performance Racing colours in his #8 Dodge Mopar OzTruck

Team OzTruck
Graham Struber
As one of the founders and Directors of Oz Truck, Graham was the first to drive an Oz Truck on Australian soil. Although taking part in a number of 2011 season race’s his involvement will be more behind the scenes in the coming seasons. Not that driving isn’t a true passion for Graham, just the goal of making the Oz Truck category a true National Motorsport takes priority. With a history in Drag Racing, Karting and Rally the time behind the wheel of the trusty 85 Oz Truck is the highlight. Sitting on the outside watching is never easy, but knowing you are watching a Motorsport you had a hand in creating makes it a little easier.
Born: 1969, Tully Nth Queensland.
Lives: Cairns, Nth Queensland.
Occupation: Mechanic, Oz Truck Director.
Greg McIntyre
As one of the founders of Oz Truck Greg has been a part of it from the beginning. Although a passion for Motorsport has always burned as a driver Greg never found a combination that fit. A keen downhill mountain biker Greg’s earlier days where confined to two wheels. In recent years he has taken to the four wheel powered ride, doing some Karting and will jump in the 85 truck whenever an opportunity arises. Greg also part owns a Gemini Sports sedan that he will one day compete in (so the story goes) when spare time permits. This is obviously in a different lifetime or when Oz Truck no longer dominates his time. Greg’s wife Belinda also forms part of the Oz Truck Family and is an integral part of its operation. Herself an accomplished mountain biker she longs for the days when a Sunday ride is again possible.
Born: 1972, Brisbane.
Lives: Nth side of Brisbane.
Occupation: Maintenance planner, Oz Truck Director.
