When / How did you begin with Price Motorsport |
My Father is Malcolm Price and My Uncle is Greg Price and I have being coming to the Drags with dad and Greg when they where racing the Dragster, and helping in the workshop when the Team has been constructing cars. |
History | Kieran was born into a family of quarter mile racers thus only natural that his dream was to follow in his Father's footsteps and compete in drag racing. The Team have learned how important it is to surround themselves with talented people like Derek, Malcolm, and Greg that can design, fabricate and put together a strong package and to have a driver like Kieran, that wants to have some fun and hopefully win a few races and compete for the national series. |
