Well season 2008-09 have almost been and gone and we apoligise for the lack of upadtes well actually no updates… We havhad a very busy season this year and it is my pleasure to announce the bus is going!!!!

Season 2008-09 Started off well in Hawkes Bay with a 1st 2nd and 3rd on Opening night taking the opening night serie 1st equal withmy childhood hero Shane Penn 7p….

Having alittle bit of early season ba luck in Palmerston North at round 1 of the PlaceMakers Superstock shootout with blowing our gearbox after been taken to the wall by 66p Tony Whittaker.

This season has been our most consistent with an average of a win at every HB meeting this season… We have had some awesome battles with Steve Jude 16B also sponsored by Mag and Tyre Hastings (go see Grant and Tony on Karamu Rd to bling up your car)

248 Global challenge went really well with Qaulifier grid 17 and having to get into the top 10 to qaulify we made it home in 9th.

Heat 1 and grid 26 out of 36 is not really a nice place to be in the first few laps but we made it threw to come home in 8th place.

Heat 2 saw that gearbox let us down again…

PlaceMakers Superstock shootout Wellington with 14 top cars including 1nz Malcolm Ngati and almost the rest of the feild Palmerston North cars the racing was going to be fast.. Grid 7 heat 1 managed to get a break and finshed 3rd behind 7pShane Penn and 1NZ Malcolm

Heat 2 got into abit of trouble but still maged a creditable 7th

heat 3 grid 2 and into the lead. Leading for 8 out of 12 laps until you guess it Shane Penn in the Silver Bullet come threw the field to take the win and 7B following him home and 4th overall on my favourite Track Wellington behind 7P Shane Penn with an impressive 3 wins out of 3. 1nz Malcolm Ngati 2nd and 77p Wayne Norris 3rd.

Hb Champs a massive 24 carsshowed for the event so it was going to be a cracker Grid 1 and managed to get a slight lead make a few mistakes that the chasing pack made the most of and i managed to come home in 5th place

Cant remember to much of the other heats but once again for i think the 8th time in his career Shane Penn managed to collect the 2008-09 HB Superstock champs. 66R Steve Hampton 2nd 31P Andy McCabe 3rd, 72P Simon Joblin 4th and 7b ShaneMellsop 5th

East Coast champs Heat 1 was in a bit of a daydream and finished 6th.

Heat 2 grid 3 Wanted to win this race badly as it was going to be the second to last race this season which Mum and Dad, Justin and Renee saw took off chasing 93p for a couple of laps until he turned himself around in pit corner handing me the lead.. white flag came out and was heading into the last corner when bump ohhhhh not again Shane Penn was up the inside and it was a drag race to the finish where we just edged Shane out in some peoples eyes but i believe Shane Let me have this one.. my race time was 3m.10.36secs 7p Shane Penn was 3m.10.44secs

Heat 3 Shane Penn leading points on 24 poins grid 2, myself 2nd on 21 points grid 9. Steve Jude, Tony True and New comer Tony Meechan in the 3 way tie for 3rd 20points

Shane Penn wining overall and 2nd equal Shane Mellsop and Steve Jude Runoff time.

this being my first ever run off i had alot to learn. Up the wall turn 1 back down then back up and back down. Managed to Put Steve up the wall also and we hadnt even done a lap yet. unfortunatly i recieved afair bit of damage meaning Steve had the upper hand but we battled on managing to finish but in 2nd place
