It's been a while between updates with racing most weekends.

Back in early April it was awesome to get a drive in a superstock at Rotorua Speedway. It was such a cool experience and I'm greatful for the opportunity.

We were then meant to race at Huntly for the Hazelton memorial unfortunately it was rained out so we made the quick trip to Gisborne where we had some good results and going into the last heat we were 2nd on points and the Gisborne boys did a good job to hold the out of town cars up.

We headed up to Auckland for easter champs and had 3 good races with a decent field of cars.

Turf wars at Huntly Speedway was good fun, we managed to come away with an 8th and 5th in our group to qualify for the last race. We were selected in blue team which was captained by Corey Baker. The last race started off goood which James Marshall and I getting to the lead but unfortunately we lost too many cars towards the end of the race. I managed to come home in 3rd place in the final race.

The Sunday after Turf Wars we headed to Rotorua for Easter Champs, Unfortunately race one turn one we got a flat RF tyre. The other race was good and we really enjoyed the meeting.

We then headed to Auckland as a support class for the Superstock Teams Nationals. We had a good pretty good run that weekend.

Late April we were selected to go teams racing for the Waikato Raiders at the West Coast Teams Champs, Update to Follow.

A big thank you to my crew who have travelled about the country with me most weekends and always been there to support my racing.

Quick update with what we have been up to over the past 5 weeks, There has been a lot of rainouts recently. It was exciting to be named as the 6th driver for the Waikato Raiders. I ended up jumping in the 361h for a race at the NZ Stockcar teams which was good experience. The week after we jumped back into 97H at the NZ Superstock champs as a fill in class. There was a huge field of stockcars and we all had abit of fun on track, they ended up splitting the class to extend the program. We managed to bring home 2nd place in the last one and congrats to Luke Ross who got his first flag. The following week we headed up to Waikaraka Park for a run where we picked up 14th and two 4th places, overall I was really happy with the car. This weekend we head to Kihikihi Speedway for the NZGP. A big shout out to my crew who have been awesome all season.

Looking forward to getting on track tonight, Racing starts 4:30pm!

It been awhile between updates, We headed to the New Zealand Stockcar Champs at Auckland on the 28th & 29th of December. Unfortunately after the second heat of night one that was our meeting done due to motor issues.

I was lucky enough to be offered a skid in the 361H car of Clinton Cheetham at Huntly on the 30th of December, it was awesome to drive and a cool experience. A massive thanks to my crew who travelled over the summer holidays to keep me racing.

We then had a couple days off over new years spending time with the speedway family and friends. We decided that we would do a motor swap and head back to Auckland for the club night, Things went well and we moved forward in race one to only been rained out during race two.

We then headed off to Stratford Speedway for the North Island Champs, Starting 22nd moving up to finish 14th. Race 2 unfortunately we got stuck under another car and race 3 we got tangled resulting in a DNF.

To my sponsors and supporters without you this wouldn’t be possible. Hopefully we can get some meetings in over the next couple of weekends.

Two big weekends of teams racing for the Radars, On the 26th November we headed down to Palmy for the Teams Invasion meeting. We came up against Stratford where we learnt a lot and ended up coming away with 2nd place. Following that we came up against a strong Wellington young guns team where we also came away with 2nd in the race.

Last weekend we headed to Gisborne to represent the Radars, Its been awesome to get the opportunity to teams racing. It was a good experience to get three teams races down at Gisborne. We came away from the weekend with three wins as a team.

A big thank you has to go to my crew for all the hours they spend in the shed helping get the car ready for race weekends.

Thank you to our team sponsors Central Metals, JA Digital, The meat warehouse, Cheetsters Engineering, Customised Earthworks, North Waikato bins, Liftech Sim Sports, Cheetham Excavations and Waikato floor sanders.
