Had 3 races on my 50cc Suzuki quad when I was 6. Got lapped about 4 times in all my races, but I thought I was winning. Felt good anyway! |
| Miscellaneous Info |
Love the V8's. Dad bought me 3 hot laps around Pukekohe with Greg Murphy when Murph was in his prime. A hell of a ride! That made we want to do karting. Made good friends with Jody VIncent. I'd love to have a drive in his GT3. My big goal is to race something around Bathurst. Even if it is a skate board! |
| Karting Moments |
My very first kart crash at Mt Welly. It was with Richard Moore. Scared the sh*t out of me. Cost Dad a new radiator. All he said was "that racing - get used to it". |
