After spending many years trackside as an official, including 15 F1 Grand Prix and 10 Indy’s, then several years as a pit crew, including Dale Coyne Racing (Indy car team), Stewart Reid Motorsport (Australian Rally Championship), plus others. It was time to have a go at being a driver.
This is the fourth year of competing mainly at Ipswich Kart Track, with a best result of ninth in the club championship out of forty-four, in my first year of competing.
2025 was a breakout year with trips to Lismore Kart Track with several podiums, including two wins and a third, with another two wins in the club day challenge at Ipswich Kart Club.
This wouldn’t be possible without the assistance of my sponsors, who are The Boar Group, primarily FireBoar, Approach Integrations, and PEK Electrical and Data Services. Technical support from the team at Power Republic and advice from Brisbane Karts.
Why do this? Well, it gets me out of the house, and it’s a great way of keeping fit. You get to meet some great like-minded people who are always willing to assist you, and once off the track, you get to sit down and have a good laugh over a cool beverage.
