Thunder Down Under Super Truck Racing 2024
A favourite race meet of myself and many, I decided to double run in both Mazda Pro8 New Zealand & SS Cup, throw in a good friends wedding on qualifying day Friday at 2pm, with qualifying at 4pm and it was a full on weekend 😮💨😆
First of all, I want to recognise those that helped repair the car after an incident filled 1st round, I never want to put a car on the track that looks anything less than mint to represent my sponsors as they deserve and I had many compliments of how good the car looked over the weekend, so a big thank you to Mark Leonard, Aaron @ Elite Transport Refinishers, Johnny Mason @ Timaru Signs & Graphix, Jarrod Parmenter @ Auto Gas Specialists.

Thank you to all my family and supporters who came out for the weekend, always great to have my wee sidekick Koa and wife Siobhan by my side, seeing where our money goes 🤣. Cheers to those that helped changed wheels between races during a hectic meet.
Shout out to my sponsors who make it all possible,
