About Doug
I am 47 years old and are living with
my partner Shelley and the 2 kids Nicole 11 and Sean 9. Both Shelley
and I own a 7 day a week Dairy situated in the main street of
Gisborne.
My racing career started back in 1973
crewing on the late Collin Topps Mini which I owned the following
year, and raced my first race at the Tokoroa track. I've raced
saloon cars all my adult life.
I got into Speedway through my
father, I can remember going out to the Speedway when I was only 7
years old, tagging along with my Dad and my brothers and sister. My
Dad used to be the official Starter for the Gisborne Speedway for as
long as I can remember until he fell sick in 1993 where he finally
had to give it away, but he still came out to the track to give his
moral support.
It took me ten years to qualify for
my first New Zealand Saloon Car Championships. |
