Taranaki's Superstock team, Stratford Scrappers, performed well at the Teams Champs in Palmerston North over the weekend.
The team, Blair Uhlenberg, Logan Sharpe, Shane Denham, Hamish Booker and Haydin Barker, finished fifth overall, out of 14 teams. Most of the drivers are inexperienced teams racers and are having their first go at teams racing this season.
Hamish Booker is the only driver in the team who has raced at this event before this season with one year of experience.
All five drivers raced with skill and will be a force to be reckoned with in the coming years if they stick together. They represented their club and province and received plenty of support from the large crowd.
On Friday night the Scrappers were beaten by the Wellington Wildcats before they laid waste to the Great Britain Lions.
