Ambitions for the future of your Speedway Career: In this day and age I'm just happy to be out there racing, we all know how much things cost and it's a hard sport to take part in these days.
Best Race Memory: Racing thru the 90s was great, lots of Superstocks, large crowds at every meeting, doing the big North Island Teams events in those days, used to be on the road every few weeks to a big meet, great times.  Huge end for end roll in Gisborne many years ago, Having lots of other crews fixing the car and making the next race.

What got you interested in Speedway? My dad and both brothers raced Stockcars, I was driving a go cart around the HB track when I was 5, what chance did I have!
Biggest Influence: Been many over the years, some great drivers who are no longer racing and some who are.
Any comments about Speedway in general? Stockcar racing can make or break people, it can be a great sport when going well and a real test of character when its not, Lots of people have come and gone in the sport, guys that have raced for years have earnt my respect.
Any comments about any of the rules in your class? Not really, they seem pretty good, you can still throw an engine in a car and go race.
