Palmerston North Speedway 📍

After a successful run at huntly speedway prior to this weekend, the team was looking to carry that momentum on to this weekend at Palmerston North Speedway.

The agenda for the nights racing had 2 heats for each driver and a feature.

Heat 1: started 5th
The race start was fairly equal between the entire top 6 but unfortunately when trying to pass underneath someone I hit the water coming in to the corner and got a sledge on, dropped back to 7th. Found a better groove and managed to close the gap but ran out of laps.
Finished 7th.

Heat 2:
Started 8th.
I gambled the start by running way higher, and it paid off. By the end of lap 1 had worked my way into 2nd, where I chased the leader for a couple laps. When passing for the lead I washed up a little which allowed another car underneath me, slipped into 3rd finishing behind Regan and Ryan.
Finished 3rd

Qualified me 5th for the feature!

Feature:
The track was very one laned, I sat in right behind 4th for multiple laps, tried pinning the car up high, but there was was nothing, and a car slid under me. As the race went on, i adjusted my FK shocks by Hunnibell Racing Developments to gain maximum grip on a track that offered little, to the point where we fried both rear tyres. Brought the car home in 6th.
Finished P6

We are happy with the nights performance. And the consistent balance that we are achieving in the car. Good to see that we are going in the right direction for car set-ups. Look forward to the next meeting.

Double header next weekend, where Friday will see us being at TWS Paradise Valley Speedway for our first time, competing in the opening night of the Avondale Pack & Send Tq midget Central Cup Series! Then Saturday night will be round 5 of the ATQMA points championship at Kihikihi Speedway.
See you there !

Huntly International Speedway📍

After suffering some electrical gremlins at Waikaraka park speedway, we sent our car to Gina for some major surgery for the week and returning us a re-energised car


Last night the team headed down to Huntly International Speedway for the Cooke Roofing Ltd Waikato Tq midget championship.

The format would see each driver have 2 heats and a feature, where I pulled girds 5 & 6 in heat 2 and 3.

Heat 2: started 5th
After making a bit of contact with the driver in front I slipped back to 7th, managed to drive a real smooth and nice groove battling my way back up to 4th position.
Finished 4th.

Heat 3: started 6th.
I had a good start jumping the car in front of me to the first corner, stayed in 6th where another car had beaten me to the corner. A late yellow allowed me to to make a pass on the 2nd to last lap letting me into 5th
Finished: 5th

Feature: P6
The feature got off to a clean start staying in 6th for majority of the race, after a late yellow, I over cooked it going into the first corner from the restart slipping back and battled to 9th.
Finished: 9th

Gina did a great job, the car was fast, we had the set up for the car was vastly improved, and had some good battles more towards the front.

Baypark Speedway📍

The team headed down to Mount Maunganui yesterday for the first time to race the V6 wingless sprint. Being my first time racing this class, I had to start from the rear of field through my heats.

Heat 1: started 16th
Made a pass early on and sat in 14th for majority of the race, towards the end I managed slip into 12th for the final few laps.
Finished: 12th

Heat 2: started 16th
I got off to a good start getting into 14th at the exit of the first corner, eventually managing to pick off 2 more cars throughout the race. The final lap came, and on the exit of turn 2 I hit a wet patch which gave me a huge push allowing a car to get back under me.
Finished: 13th

This qualified me off 14 for the feature.

Feature start: 14th
Found a real nice groove early on, with being high in one corner and low on the other. Managed to pass a decent number of cars through the feature and put myself inside the top 10 !
Finished: 9th

Huge thank you to the Sokol family for giving me this opportunity! Thank you to Zackary’s crew for helping out and getting the car on point!

Big thanks to Ossie Sokol for the guidance and mentoring throughout the night. I really appreciate it !

North island champs.
Prestige Pools Waikaraka Family Speedway 📍

Saturday night was the annual North Island Tq midget championship. The format for the night was 2 heats each and a 25 lap feature.

We pulled girds 10 & 1

Heat 1:
started 10th
I initially got a pretty good start. But with turns 1 & 2 being real tacky, and 3 & 4 being slick, I just struggled trying to find a groove that worked for me in the slick, ended up staying where I started.
Finished: 10th

Heat 2:
Started 1st
I got the jump on the start and stayed in front. Managed to lead the race for 6 laps before getting tagged and half spun, I was able to keep the car running and rejoin the pack in 6th. Managed to finish 5th.
Finished 5th.

Feature:
Started 9th
The feature race shows that survival is key, 25 laps was a long way to go, so patience was a big factor in this race. With only a first corner incident, the race went near flag to flag, I managed to get myself up into 8th until the very last corner a caution came out. From here it was a one lap dash Finished 5th.
Finished 5th.

With last years north island title held in Gisborne and finished 14th then. The team was definitely happy to enter the top 5. I found my driving was also a great improvement from last year.

Thank you to Mum (Sharon) & Dad (Michael) for helping get the car ready for the nights racing whilst I was away for work, I genuinely wouldn’t have been racing this weekend without the two of you guys.

Thanks to all the people that support me in my racing, and making this journey possible.

Hey guys, with no racing this weekend, I headed over to Blastacars! Real good bunch down there if anyone has a spare evening it’s definitely worth some fun, going sideways and doing some laps!

The guys and girls down at Blastacars Auckland are real welcoming they all have a good sense of humour not shy of a joke! And super helpful! So head over to 82 the Concourse, Henderson !

Ride onboard with 2 of my laps from Friday night ! 2nd lap setting fastest lap of the day and 2nd fastest of the week and 3rd fastest of the month so far (I think) with a 20.351 second lap time !

Thanks Blastacars !

Today I headed down to Rosebank speedway for the KiwiKidz Quarter Midgets buddy day! I got paired up with 65a 12 year old Hunter Morgan. Today was his first meeting in his new car.

Throughout the day it was good to see through every race and change we made he was gaining more and more confidence and showing good improvements in his driving!

Heat 1: Heat 2: Heat 3: Feature:
9th-6th 6th-6th 2nd-4th 5th-5th


The afternoon was much enjoyed and great to see after every race Hunter come out the car with a smile and having some fun! Top 5 is a great start in a new car!

Keep an eye out on the Kiwikidz 1/4 midget page for updates on how Hunter goes throughout this years season!

Meeanee speedway opening night.

Heat 1: started 7th
After a bit of first corner mayhem from the back pack pushing hard, sandwiched us in the middle, I clipped a left rear tyre which just spat us out to the back. Continued on going from 19th to 15th but was too much ground to recover.
Finished 15th.

Heat 2: started 16th.
Was running well made my way up to 14th in the first few laps until a car pushed a bit too hard trying to pass on the inside and caught the hole flipping him and spinning myself, which yet again set us to the rear of the field. We ran hard and higher on the track the final 3 laps going from 20th to 17th.
Finished 17th.

Heat 3: started 4th
With the first 2 heats being unlucky I was hoping to finish this 3rd and final heat out of trouble. After a good start we saw ourselves staying in 4th with the track being rough I drove to the conditions pretty. Until a late yellow came out with 1 lap to go. Off the restart I just got beaten round the bottom on the last corner finishing my heat in 6th with the 5th fastest lap time.
Finished: 6th

This put my off 14th for the feature.
I drove my feature race trying a few different lines and managed to make a couple passes bringing the car home in 11th.
Finished 11th.

Great to be back in the car again this season! But none of my racing would be possible without the help from my awesome sponsors !
