Season Finale - ANZAC Weekend at eastern states speedway

Friday night, 16 cars, I can’t remember grids.

Race 1 - Finished 3rd
Race 2 - DNF after a hit to the left front - bent steering arm, destroyed a tyre and (as we later found out) cracked the brake caliper
Race 3 - Finished 3rd again… crossed the line and went for the brakes into the corner, pedal straight to the floor. The caliper had literally split apart lucky it held on until the last lap.

Saturday night, 19 cars (including a couple of superstocks)

Race 1 - DNF off the start, lift arm broke causing the diff to rotate back, very lucky there was no damage to the driveshaft or gearbox.
Race 2 - Finished 5th
Race 3 - Last race of the season so we mixed it up a bit, did some blocking which was completely new to me and generally made a nuisance of myself

Not really doing a full season recap as I’ve only run 6 meetings in the new car and a couple in the old one, but we’ve still managed:

3rd at King of the Coast (Greymouth)
2nd in Best Pairs at home

My main goal has just been getting seat time and gaining more experience by racing in larger packs, But I am still pretty new to it all.

The car has already started to be stripped down for a tidy up over winter, nothing major planned as nothing big needs to be done other than a general tidy up and paint to go with a new design.

I just want to say a big thanks and huge appreciation to Bridgestone Tyre Centre Blenheim for backing me and also supporting the local club & stockcar class!

And of course, massive thanks to all our sponsors we couldn’t do it without you. We have also still got room on the car too if anyone’s keen to jump on board and show their name or brand on a fairly competitive car👍

Full races from Blenheim’s Easter Weekend are now uploaded, with Nelson still to come. But here's a highlight reel

Unfortunately, we didn’t have a camera for King of the Coast, so there won’t be any footage from that event.

Thanks to Morgan Dumelow Motorsport for kitting us up with a Go Pro for the two nights

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

👑 King of the Coast 🥉

Big weekend down in Greymouth after a long haul there, and an even longer one back this morning in the crap weather.

Race 1 – Grid 19 to 7th, nice clean run.

Race 2 – Grid 6, got stuck in the slush early and tangled up, back to last but worked through to 10th just staying out of trouble.

Race 3 – Grid 8, absolute carnage… more red lights than racing with roll overs everywhere. Tried to avoid it but i finally got some attention and got punted which seen me go into the wall backwards, somehow managed to recover and come back through to finish around 3rd/4th.

That was enough to put us 3rd equal on points and into my first ever run off. Started inside, got a good run into turn one, pushed the other car out wide and slipped through, then just ran for it and came home with the win.

All in all it was an awesome weekend and to be the only "E" stockcar I am pretty stoked. Only real issue was a slipping clutch that kept getting worse through the afternoon, and to top it off we ran out of fuel driving the car into the trailer after the run off… think I might’ve used up all my luck!

Big thanks to Greenstone Park Speedway for putting on an awesome meeting, it was my first time racing there and we will definitely be coming back for more next season.

Massive thanks to Mum, Paul and Harley for the help over the weekend, and especially to Chloe for once again holding the fort with the two kids so I could travel.

Finally huge shout out to those that help us do these things!

Good night out at Eastern States last Saturday for stockcar best pairs

First run in the new car, teamed up with 7E Max Baker and we managed to come away with 2nd place.

Still getting the feel of the new car but it felt good all night and even managed to beat my personal lap record already.

Then backed it up Sunday spending the day at the hospice car show trying to promote our club, was a good turnout and awesome to be part of it.

Cheers to everyone who helps out each week, appreciate it

Our next meeting will be Easter weekend with two nights racing in Blenheim, one night in Nelson followed by Greymouth the following weekend for King of the coast!
