Update on the 4B!

Jordy had done all the new steelwork for us a few weeks back so we could send it to be sand blaster! Thanks to Patton Blast and Paint!

He’s also painted the chassis so I could piece it back together! At this rate the car will be sitting on stands complete and waiting for our first practice!

No major updates for us this year, but we have a new diff with floating brakes about to go in!

Huge thank you to Jordy, Zach and dad for the help and big thank you to Graham Hughes for these wicked “Thank you” sponsor prints that are making their way out following new sponsorship proposals!

First off season update

Thought it’s about time I put a post up, We have been pretty busy in the shed getting Zach’s car together the list is getting shorter now. All going well we should have it running and driving in the next 2 weeks then we can move on to the cosmetic side of things.

Massive thanks to Mum, Dad, Courtney, Jordan, Josh and Jeremy for their help getting it this far and also the sponsors who have already jumped on board to help me I really appreciate it

Bit slack on giving an update from Gisborne on the 9th of May!

Blew a diff head in race 1 after having good pace resulting in a DNF.

Race two and three were not too bad, running a different diff ratio so not pushing it too hard but finished 2 out of three almost damage free!

The last couple of week saw the car get stripped and all new steel work done (again😅) big thanks to Jordy for sorting that out for me! So she’ll sit for a bit awaiting sandblast and paint!

We’ll have Thank You Sponsor prints handed out soon along with sponsorship proposals!

Huge thank you to everyone who sponsored or helped out this season! It is very much appreciated!

📸Doing It In The Dirt

Stockcar Kuru Cup 18th April

Race 1 off grid 14. A very wet and heavy track saw us get pushed around a bit off the start but climbed up to 7th.

Race 2 off grid 30. Was very busy right from the start but kept pushing forward sitting in 5th until a block car slowed up infront of me. Dealt to them to carry on dropping back a bit. Last lap coming into turn one something funny happened to the steering but managed to finish the race in 12th. Broken bolt in the steering arm, lucky to be able to carry on to put us 8th on points heading into heat 3.

Race 3 off grid 4. Was almost a non event if Jordy hadn’t noticed the left rear going flat! Lucky to get it changed before gridding up! Slotted into 3rd for a few laps then bestie Brytnie did tank things and held up the front two cars enough for me to get into the lead taking the much needed win to finish 3rd on the podium for Kuru Cup!

Couldn’t ask for a better way to end the season at Meeanee! Weather permitting we’ll be in Gisborne on the 9th May!

Huge thank you to mum, dad, Jordy, Zach, Brooke and all of my sponsors

Full write up to follow…

21st March saw Jordy jump in the hot seat for Peter Barry consolation races. A mixed bag of results for him,
Grid 8 to 2nd
Grid 1, was leading most of the race until getting caught up and having a gentle lay down!
Grid 11 to finish 8th with a few handling issues!

4th April back to Courtney being in the seat for East Coast Champs!
Grid 15 got up to 5th until getting held up, almost the first rollover victim! Finished 14th.
Grid 4 was sitting in 4th for a bit until getting some pay backs dropping down to 10th.
Grid 17 got stuck in again and finished 5th! Every race was a busy one with action happening everywhere!

Finished 9th overall for East Coast Champs!

This coming weekend sees us back at home for the final meeting, the Stockcar Kuru Cup! With a stacked feild it sure is going to be action packed!

Huge thank you to Mum, Dad, Jordy, Zach, Brooke and all of my sponsors!
