🏁 Taipa Speedway Percy Poharama kings birthday challenge 30th and 31st of May 2026 🏁
Firstly we would love to thank Fredo Morgan for organising the event , putting so much love into it and letting us be apart of it again for the third year . This is our most favourite event because of the memories we get to make with so many families. This year we had 39 families and 74 drivers competing over four groups .
Jaxon raced in the kings group with 15 other drivers and managed to get 5 races done before the rain came.
Race 1 - Grid 11 ➡️ 8th place
Race 2 - Grid 13 ➡️ 3rd place
Race 3 - Grid 15 ➡️ 3rd place
Race 4 - Grid 1 ➡️ 1st place 🏁
Race 5 - Grid 3 ➡️ 3rd place
This placed Jax 🥇equal overall for the weekend with 23R Blair Hume from Ministock 23R racing team.
Big congratulation to Blair , Ministock 99A Carlos on 🥈and Kaiden Beale on 🥉and also all the kings for the spectacular racing.
Sending heaps of love to cousin Steven 82A after his big roll (he's doing good though he's a champ) , Jake 8A and Ella Vercoe 116P after having a crash and hurting themselves.
We also couldn't let Luke miss out on some fun out on track so shoved him in Jax's ministock in the adult class with 16 other parents and ex ministock drivers.
Race 1 - Grid 9 ➡️ 4th
Race 2 - Grid 1 ➡️ 1st
Race 3 - Grid 11 ➡️ 3rd
Race 4 - Grid 1 ➡️ 1st
This placed Luke 🥈 overall for the weekend next to stockcar driver Tony Coxhead in 🥇 place and Alice 95a ex ministock driver in 🥉place.
Luke had a bloody epic battle with Tony in the last race before the rain hit that showed Ministocks can battle next to eachother the whole race without touching. Was awesome to see 🔥
The memories created with all the families is what we love about racing, the banter, the laughs and the fun is what you can't beat.
Taipa creates memories we will all hold onto forever and makes us excited to be going into the offseason prepping for next year traveling around with these awesome families.
Huge thanks to Martine, Steve , Ashley, Haydyn and all the Taipa speedway team for letting us all be there and race, to all the families we thank you for being there , helping out and enjoying your weekend welcome to the new ones and congratulations to your little ones on starting their racing journey.
This now completes Jaxon's second full season in Ministocks.
Until next season........ thank you all for your support.
Full write up of the season coming up in the next few days.
Forever grateful to our sponsors
