I had been joking with Liam Lawsons dad Jared for the last 2 years about Liam doing some racing with us in our enduro events and one thing or another the timing wasn’t there. I am sure at times he was tempted but F3 narrowly wins over grassroots racing most times so it never happened until I happened to hear Liam was home and board of being isolation so i took my opportunity and asked again and next minute we are doing a seat fitting at Pakuranga  Auto and sitting with potentially NZs next F1 star all the time trying to convince him our Levin had the goods. Friday came and we signed up fo ..read more

4th of October saw the team all head to Pukekohe Park. On the day we had cars in the 2k cup, Production Race Series and the Ssanayong. The feature for us was Nik in the Ssanyong.

We ran on the smaller track at Hampton’ Downs that is used to turn the main track into the international track or for the drifters and what a handful that was.  Its not often your wheel is ever pointing straight and if it is its usually during under steer ! It was Nicks first proper race meet ..read more

       Great opportunity for Nik to try and set the ute up the way he wants it. Remembering Nik lives in Wlg and he was at Hampton downs at 7-30am on Saturday morning after driving to Taupo after work Friday and getting up at 4am and driving through – great commitment Nik. Nik was posting some good times towards the end of the day once he got the handle of the ute and the new tyres. He was doing 1-29s , so he is on the money. As well as the ute we took the DC2 and Skippy had it going good before it got a gear box issue. All the other work done to it this year is paying off ..read more
