Apart from the odd Mod driver, seems like Maori love their superstocks/stockcars!
Is it the contact of the classes? The sound of the engine? A particular class for the wider whanau to be involved in? What is it?
Couple of thoughts - something about the dirt and a connection to whenua (ground) perhaps that tarseal/road won't do.
Secondly - that noise - there's a haka growl about those superstock V8's!

You can also add to that list Ross 'Horse' Ashby

Great patai (question) Tiroto, why is it that Maori love there Superstocks/Stockcars - I'd say also the contact in these classes and also our competitive nature to do our best or excel in sports that predominantly Maori don't participate in, when you weight it up against Rugby, League, Netball, Basketball all those ball sports.

Awesome (Tumeke) to see alright eh Tiroto. Ka mau te wehi.

The thread the list is from I started and the list contained 50 Maori Drivers all over speedway.
The competitive nature is what I talked about.
