I can be found at most Pukekohe Car Club events, competing or helping out with results (sometimes both!). If there is motorsport on television, then chances are I’m watching it. When there’s no motorsport on TV, then I’m often playing car-racing games on PS2. I do other things, but cars and motorsport take up most of my time.
 
For now, my focus is on Clubsport level events. I compete in Motorkhana, Autocross, Hillclimbs, Bent Sprints, and the odd Track Day. I enjoy Motorkhana and Autocross run on grass, but I am interested in only sealed venues for other high-speed events, particularly those run on race circuits.
 
I would eventually like to get into circuit racing. At this stage, however, I do not have the finances or people behind me to make it a real option. In the meantime, I will be trying to make myself known and build a reputation as a consistent solid performer. Hopefully, in a few years, I will have something to offer potential sponsors (or win LOTTO!), and muster the support I need to have a crack on the track.
