It would be good to see Bruce Harding in the Giants team in the spare Rees car. He has done a good job blocking for them in the Gladiators.

I'm thinking unless uve raced in a Superstock alittle bit at least..it's quite different compared to a flat chassis Stockcar. Things would happen a lot faster. |

I totally agree but one example is the English come out here and adapt very quickly to different class and chassis. I have never met Bruce Harding but have watched him on videos showing his blocking skills and reading of a teams race. (race Craft). Every team I beleive needs and experienced Block car/person which some teams lacked at Palmerston North. |

Considering Squeak uses more brake than throttle, I think he would handle it.
May be a change in get up and go though, he'll just get there sooner.
Mostly he does quick squirts and turns right.

Who's the 5 ? Taniwha has given up effective immediately too... I thought he said.... From Gavin: "2017 season to be my last… Hi everyone, l thought l would let you know that l told my Gisborne Giants team mates last night that l would be retiring after this season. I am available for the Teams Nationals in Auckland, l will leave it up to them if they require me going forward. I have been fortunate to have raced Stockcars/Supers when l thought my dreams of ever doing this were not realistic. For this l must thank Peter Rees for getting me into Stockcars/Supers and Phil & Brad Ridland for the early drives, also my current Super Stock co-owner Gary Hobbs and Courtney Whyte. My crew Mini-me, Paully, Wayne, Snux, Denise, Chev, Mitch, Mum & Dad (RIP) and everyone else that has helped me at times. I have always been honest to myself and said when Speedway becomes a chore it's time to move on. It's an expensive and selfish sport (time wise) and l want to spend more time with my wife Denise, maybe travelling (I've never travelled). The head knocks in teams racing is a concern, there have been times l have come off the track and couldn't remember what happened or where my trailer was parked etc. You only get one brain and mine was already rather limited lol. Form wise, I've always said to myself, if l'm no longer in the starting line up, then the writings on the wall… So finally, thank you everyone for your support over the years, its been a blast... Gav 175 G Gavin Taniwha-Motorsport" |
