SPEEDWAY by Murray Robertson THE Gisborne Giants team list for the Auckland superstock teams championship at Waikaraka Park, Onehunga, this weekend has “super” written all over it. All three Rees drivers will be in action. Peter Rees (10G) will be joined by son Ethan (126G) and for the first time in a couple of seasons, also by his other son Asher (126K). Jamie Hamilton (9G) and Gisborne’s James Kirk (331G) complete the five-car Giants line-up, GIANTS with Tim Ross the spare driver. The Giants were “bloodied but unbowed” in the New Zealand superstock teams championship in Palmerston North in early February, where they were courageous runners-up. One of the Giants’ drivers, Nick Vallance, suffered a broken pelvis in the racing that weekend. Asher Rees has taken his place. “It’s really good to have Asher back in our team,” Peter Rees said. HEAD “He drives at 110 percent, so we’ll just have to try to control him. “On paper this is a very strong team, and we’re all looking forward to it.” The Giants won the Auckland title last year, beating the Palmerston North Panthers in the final. “I think we have a really good chance of retaining our title,” Rees said. “We’re well prepared and ready to go again after Palmerston North.” NORTH James Kirk said he was thrilled to be back in the team. “To be named again is awesome,” he said. “It’s where I want to be. My car’s going well, after we sorted out a couple of issues. Now I just need more track time.” The Giants race on Friday and Saturday nights. Their race opponents will be drawn tomorrow night during the grand parade that starts the two- night programme.

• Peter Rees said the Gisborne Speedway Club season finale next month should attract up to 40 superstocks from around the country. “That’s what we’re targeting for April 3 and 4.” The superstocks will race for the champion of champions title and also contest a best-pairs event.
