A day in club racing.

Club racing at its best. Open wheelers, GT cars, mx5’s and cars normally found at the supermarket car park. Where else can you get such a variety cars battling for that perfect race line to take the chequered flag. Panels dented, lap times smashed and many litres of fuel guzzled all in a day of

Manawatu Toolshed R&T Series 1 final

This year the Manawatu Toolshed Road & Track series has been split in to two four round series with a driver training day in between. This gives people a good chance at taking out a class win without having to endure a full eight round series. I headed down just before lunch as I had

The Feilding Auto Electrical Race Series Round 2.

The second round of the The Feilding Auto Electrical Race Series lived up to its name with some real winter racing. As the third round of races began in the afternoon, the heavens opened up and the track was drenched. Lets hope that the next round has more sun to give me more time with the

Gopro Daybreaker Rally, Part 3.

The final part to our day was to head back in to Kimbolton and head to Stage 9 (McBeth). We were about an hour early so we had plenty of time to scope out some good spots to shoot from. As the time got closer until the first car the crowd grew a lot bigger.

Gopro Daybreaker Rally 2013, part one.

This event is the one I look forward to the most through out the year. Lots a gravel spitting monsters attacking roads in anger to get to the finish the fastest. With it being a round of the New Zealand Rally Championship meant a few more of the top drivers were coming to the party.

Three Black Silvias

Standing infield listening to the sound of tyres being pushed to their  limits, the sound of engines running at the limiter and that distinct smell of tyre smoke is a damn good way to spend a day. A day of which was freezing but bearable to witness true grass roots drifting at its best. The

Feilding Auto Electrical Races Series Round 1 June 2nd

Winter has finally arrived and with that it means shorter and colder days. As most top tier series finish up and spend the coming months preparing to tackle the next. A hardy bunch continue through these dark cold days and continue the drive to improve lap times and catch up with fellow racers. The first

Pukerimu Rd Sealed Hillclimb.

Over the weekend the Wanganui car club hosted two sealed hillclimb events. The first held on Saturday on Pukerimu road 15kms from Wanganui and the second on Okoia road on the Sunday. I decided to head up on the Saturday to check the action. The stage was 1.6km long consisting tight corners, hairpins, a bridge
