Michael Holmes
Michael Holmes or "Hollywood Holmes" as he known in the AMCA circles, is a former Western Australian AMCA National Champion that wanted more challenges in his racing career and purchased his first Dirt Late Model running a limited schedule in 2007/08.
Michael has since moved on and turned heads last season after he purchased a Dirt Late model from legendary US Driver Steve Francis.
After getting to learn the different car settings in 2008/09, Mike headed back to the US this year spend some time with Francis to pick up some more tricks and experience the racing first hand in the US.
