McCall Motorsport

Our day over as quick as it started, little to no power in the first race. Down to 6 cylinders!

Introducing the inaugural Dunlop Rally Sprint Summer Series as part of the Mickey Thompson New Zealand Offroad Grand Prix™ set amidst the adrenaline-charged atmosphere of the NEW Manukau Super Stage at Colin Dale Motorsport Park.

Gearbox stripped. Broken circlip found. Possibly failed at Woodhill. Box now getting a bit of TLC and a new circlip. Prep now underway for next championship round. “Let’s Go Racing!”

Front row seats for the crossing to Wellington.

Race done early for #157 Tony McCall with 3 wins from 3 starts in Shortcourse and a 3rd in Class 1 in the Enduro. On the trailer after 70% of enduro race distance completed on a gearbox that started strong, but by lap two was bouncing out of gear and by lap three the forth gear was gone.
Thanks to Otago Offroad Racing Club for an awesome event. Slim Slee and family for such an awesome venue. Thanks also to the Kurow Hotel for the fantastic hospitality. This was a race for National series points and its mission accomplished with enough points in the bag to keep the challenge alive for the overall championship.
Great to be part of the team with great sponsors. Thanks to Cody and Megan from Kiwi Furniture Movers for the car, the pickup truck, the ferry crossings and the gas. Thanks Mickey Thompson Tires NZ for the new set of tyres (what an advantage)! Thanks to Lucas Oil NZ for the engine oil. Awesome work from Bryce McCall for Pit management and superior mud cleaning tricks. Thank you all.
Now it’s just a 17hour drive back to the workshop where the transmission will be pulled and Larry the Cog Fixer will wave his magic wand and get 157 back on the start line in a couple of weeks!
Oh yeah - thanks to the race car driver - Mr Tony McCall Motorsport
