I have a great relationship with my navigator Peter. He has been a great friend of the family for many years and I’m grateful his jumped on board to go racing with me.”

After the team ran away with the win at the Hunter Rivmasta Warialda 200, the first round of the New South Wales Off Road Championship in March, they were excited with how their lap times went and how the buggy pulled up after the event.
