Twice winner NZ F5000 Tasman Revival Series & 2nd overall in last season’s Tasman Revival Series to the master himself, Ken Smith, with a 100% finish rate + many other podiums over the years. Absolutely NO major impacts or wall contact sustained in all that time.
Immaculately maintained & prepared irrespective of any cost or time by fully qualified mechanic-owner/driver, incl 6 month full-time complete stripdown & rebuild in 2010 when, among a host of other things, new bladders (MTO in USA) with submerged EFI pumps were fitted.
Fantastic bullet-proof engine built by highly respected Chch hi-perf/race/F5000 engine specialist Steve Weeber has done just 5 meetings since an extensive-new-parts freshen by Steve last winter. Engine has top-line components incl CNC lightened GM Bowtie M/Sport block, Callies L/W crank, Manley rods, Jesel belt-drive & rocker gear, AFR heads, 4 stage Weaver, period-correct magnesium intake & hidden-from-sight MSD with crank-trigger

Anything that ever failed was always re-engineered for maximum reliability by the best available for the job so there are some excellent improvements.
