Superstock teams champs 2024
What a weekend, in true nature of this season, the first night of racing got rained out before we even got a chance to go out. Night one take 2 started off with a bang winning both of qualifying races against the Hawkes Bay Hawk Eyes and the Wanganui Warriors, unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances I had to sit out of both of these races. We got the car all sorted for the semi against the Stratford Scrappers and we managed to again take away the win which put us through to the final to race the Rotorua Rebels. Going into the final being the defending champions racing our mates the rebels was a pretty surreal experience. We raced with same team as we did in the final last season and again we came away with the win, and no Rotorua cars left going by the end of it. I finally got my chance to get Alan McRobbie back after he rolled me all those years ago in the same spot, sorry McRobbie but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity.
Thanks to sports web photography for putting a camera in my car for the weekend, can’t wait to see the footage. Sorry we got nothing on the first night, hope I made up for the in the second.
Thanks to Palmy Superstock Teams for in field photos and so forth over the weekend.
I wanna say a huge thanks to all our supporters and crew over the weekend, going back to back was an absolute unreal experience and let’s hope we can make it a three peat.
To my personal crew, thank you very much for the effort you guys put in to get this car turned around for the next day and throughout the night between each race.
To Malcolm, Ricky, Steve, Emma and everyone else behind the scenes you make this team go round, and make everything work, we might not say it enough but we appreciate you and love you all.
To my brothers, Harley, James, Jayden and Scott, you were on all weekend. Racing with you guys is like nothing I have ever experienced, you are like a family to me and I couldn’t do it without ya.
To the Rebels, it was awesome to face you guys in the finals and take the win this year, we won’t speak about the boat race after but we had to go easy on you guys since we won the main event 👀
To my partner Hannah, thank you for doing all the hard work behind the scenes that I get stressed out about and putting up with my nonsense for race weekends, the effort you put in will never go unnoticed.
To our sponsors, what can I say, without you all here helping us we couldn’t do it and to make it a back to back win with almost all the same sponsors as when we won it made it even better. To all our supporters out there, go support the people that support us:
