Early in his career, Carl constructed his own Laser TX3 of the FWD persuasion, and nabbed himself the cover of New Zealand Performance Car with his immaculately constructed [JRCOZY]. JR over the next five years would win more than 30 trophies and take out the Turbo 2WD National drag class two years running along with the front-wheel-drive street-tyred record — a record it still holds today with a time of 10.79@217kph.
Now Carl’s racing has progressed to tarmac rallying with his new 4WD toy, [WRCOZY] which he debuted here at Leadfoot Festival 2018.

1989 Ford Laser GTX:

The Laser Tarmac Rally car was campaigned in the early 2000’s by Neil MacFarquhar and has now fallen into the hands of fellow Laser fanatic Carl, who brought it back to life after 10 years in storage. Carl and Neil owned the two most modified Lasers in the country, with Carl managing to purchase the vehicle early in 2017. The Evolution 7 running gear has made this little weapon no longer prone to the Mazda/Ford drive-line curse! After running under 1 min in 2018, Carl’s back on the hunt for a time deeper into the 50’s!
