2012 Murray Gordge Built Superstock:

Ngatai Racing’s SuperStock is a custom built car specifically for speedway racing in New Zealand. The chassis was built by renowned engineer and past New Zealand Modified Champion Murray Gordge from the Taranaki district. It is powered by a naturally aspirated Toyota quad cam V8 built by Midwest Motors (Graham Morrison) in connection with Dave Rosewarne of Cylinder Head Specialists in Christchurch. Due to strict rules and regulations the SuperStock class is restricted to 248 cubic inches with a compression ratio of no more than 10 to 1 and all engine must be carbureted. The engine produces around 450 – 500 horsepower and is delivered to its alloy Winters quick change rear end via a custom built Raptor gearbox with Tilton triple plate clutch system. Stopping power is provided by wildwood brakes whilst the suspension is cantilevered in the front with adjustable Penske shocks and a coil over package in the rear. Getting horsepower onto speedways clay surfaces is very difficult and like most of the car, this is achieved using a purpose built Hoosier tyre approved by speedway’s governing body Speedway New Zealand. Obviously this helps achieve parity amongst the class New Zealand wide. SuperStock racing is unique to New Zealand and it’s full contact racing rules are not seen anywhere else in the world. This simply means SuperStock racing isn’t for the faint hearted.
