One of New Zealand’s leading midget drivers, Shayne Alach, will debut his new Aggressor #11 in the annually run John Webster Memorial meeting to be raced at Auckland’s Waikaraka Park on Saturday night.
Alach, who campaigned a Breka midget throughout the past New Zealand Summer, joins other top Auckland drivers Brad Mosen, Lance Beale and Bill Clarkson who each made the switch to driving a Kiwi built Aggressor at the start of the 2007-08 New Zealand season.
Along with his current sponsors, who include Diggalink and Ardmore Auto Rentals, Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil have joined the Alach team as major sponsors of the Aggressor #11.
Thirty one year old Alach is no stranger to racing on the ¼ mile Waikaraka Park dirt oval, many will remember Alach’s unforgettable spectacular driving display he put on at the Park in 2000. Racing at the track that night, in the ‘Speedway Super Expo’ meet, Alach turned heads with his fearless daredevil driving style, using every inch of the track, Alach put on a driving display reminiscent of some of legendary Kiwi great Barry Butterworth’s performances.
Along with Alach, 19 other Auckland drivers will contest the event including regular Western Springs front runners, Brad Mosen, Scott Buckley, Graham Standring and recently crowned 2008 New Zealand Champion Shaun Insley. - By Mike Nicholson |

2008 Australian Midget Car Champion |
Davey Ray dove an amazing racelast night to take out the 2008 Australian Midget Car Championship last night at the Perth Motorplex.
Davey started from grid 15 in the final only to be spun and put to the rear of the field in the early stages of the race.
Fellow countryman Jerry Coons Jnr looked to have the championship in the bag as he took the white flag however a flat tyre opened the door for Ray to claim his second Australian title , both of which have come at the wheel on an Aggressor.
Local Scott Glazebrook came home second with young American Anthony Peterman third. Shaun Insley was the first New Zealand driver home finishing 7th in his #69 Aggressor. |
