Tank as 1nz? (Read 5,909 times)

[HIGHWAY45]

When was the last time a tank won 1nz? Who was it and where and when?

This season we have a couple of tanks with very good chances of winning.

Wade in the 85H car goes well at kk and has proven this with success at the track so could be worth a bet a the superstocks nzs

From all reports Rees is very quick in his new tank and should be there or there abouts at Wanganui in the Stocks Nz champs


Evans rotorua 84/85 successfully defending title he won in chch in 83/84 would be most recent - had a look in archives

3p Dave Evans won the 1983/1984 & 1984/1985 New Zealand Superstock Champs

snap jamie84r..... 25 years a long time huh since a tank won 1nz in contact class of stocks or super stocks

[Enforcer]

but are tanks made for hitting or speed??

surpose both lol

It is probably the last time that a flat chassis won the NZ1 too. Not 100% but I think that the NZ1 has been won by space frames in their various forms since then!!!

[HIGHWAY45]

if thats the case then the closest a flat chassis has got recently would have to be Taylor frm Wanganui a cple of yrs ago when he got 3nz

Lets see this year we have 85h 8p 38r could be 1 2 3 nz at the supastocks at 2ks

the most recent flat chassis to win NZ superstocks would be either Dave Tennant or Gary Parkes (late 80's early 90's)

Daryl Taylors car wasn't a flat chassis.

1990/91 Nelson Gary Parkes 4p



Speedway Archive Superstock NZ

A flat chassis std stock/stockcar has not been 1nz

[aresdacat]

True.. I had forgotten about Parkes and Tennant. Still, as much as I would like to see it, law of averages says that it will be a space frame... and then probably a Gordge!!! I would like to see Horse win or Wade win #2!!!

[HIGHWAY45]

id like to see wade win it or influence who does

[Roxcyford]

if my memory is correct 1p brian anderson won in a tank in nelson don,t know what year

DELETE THIS POST!
In fact delete this thread I find it very offensive!

[Bulletfan]

yes wades tanks is the quickset i have seen on a track very well setup

[Brendon Learmonth]

dunno if you only meaning just supers but this years 1nz standard stockwill be 3nz peter rees you just wait lol it could happen last years 3nz became 1nz lol ie gaskin

Interestingly, none of the drivers who won the NZ Champs in a tank actually ran 1nz on their car (it was before the 1, 2, 3NZ thing)

So the only time a tank has had 1nz on the side was Craig Boote, defending his title (won in 1999/00 in his spaceframe)during a guest drive in Miers tank after Boote had retired.
