Now that some time has past here’s a little recap of how our 2026 season went.

This season the Alterd was shared between Nic and Larissa. Nic ran in supercharged outlaws in the national meetings and Larissa ran the car in our local competition series. End of last season the decision was made by Larissa that she wanted to give this Alterd thing a go and she went out a bought her own race gear, sat her licence in last years end of season fun day and that was it !

Larissa’s first appearance was at comp 2 and the whole team was nervous and excited at the same time to see how she would go. We buckled her in the car and sent her out on track and bu**er me it has seemed like she had been in the car for years! We walked away from her first comp meet ever with a #1 trophy 🏆 and later on came back in comp meet 5 and secured yet another #1 trophy which landed her Second in the points series for the comp class and Rookie of the year. Very successful first season !

Nic jumped in the car a couple times this season to race in Supercharged outlaws at the Wellington Invasion and the NZ nationals were he won both of those meetings which landed him first place in the national series

Gary also jumped into the car for the Nostalgia drags which he played around with the nitrous and went through the rounds to walk away with a #1 trophy 🏆 ! Gary has also decided to go full time on his Harley Davidson next season in Screaming Eagles after a comp meeting racing his bike

Massive thanks to all the Meremere Dragway staff and crew and also a big thanks to Repco Pukekohe and Gary Janmaat from PPG for all the years of support !

Bit of recap before we head into Wellington invasion !

End of last season we started on our journey to put Nic’s partner Larissa in the alterd and see how she goes. Did a few skids at Friday night days and did a couple private meetings and then sat her Comp licence at the end of year fun day. The 2025/2026 season came around the nerves were very high and took a bit of convincing to get her back into the car. Comp meet 2 Larissa jumped back into the car and absolutely kicked ass to say the least ! She worked her way through the rounds with .0** reaction times and almost bang on her dial in every run. Nic’s first ever meeting in the Alterd a few years back he won the competition class and Larissa has just done the same ! Her first competition win and a very happy girl to say the least

Maybe it’s time to introduce her to some Nitrous and spice the car up 👀😂

Big thanks to Ben Barclay Ashleigh Barclay for the continued help and of corse repco Pukekohe and Gary Janmaat from PPG for thr continued sponsorship
