When / How did you begin with Price Motorsport |
Greg offered to take my Yamaha powered Junior dragster with him in the trailer when my older brother Aaron started driving for Price Motorsport in December 2006. Greg offered me a drive in the Honda NSR 250 cc Junior dragster when he repowered it for the 2007/2008 season. |
History | I have been going to the Drags with Mum and Dad for years when they were previously racing a altered and assisting with the organising of events, my older brother got a junior dragster and once he got too big for it and he got another junior dragster I got the chance to drive the Suzuki 125 cc powered junior, and then the Yamaha DT125cc Junior dragster. I have competed at all the drag strips in New Zealand except the Nelson venue. And have very good reaction times on the start line, and are very consistent with my dial in times. Have obtained numerous number one qualifying positions.
