Andrew started his motorsport career at 18 years of age by joining his father Keith in Offshore Powerboat Racing in the iconic monohull ‘Chindit’. It culminated 10 years later with 1.3, 2 and 6 litre NZ Championship titles and appearances at both the European and World 2 litre Championships. A 10-year hiatus to focus on business and family finally ended with a move back into motorsport via the Central Muscle Car (CMC) Series.
Andrew won Group 2 and the overall championship in his second full year competing. This was a highlight, as was organising and competing in CMCs first two visits to the Sydney Motorsport Park, to compete at the Muscle Car Masters.
Andrew’s other passion is a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner powered by a 472 cubic inch Hemi and he is currently building a VH Valiant Charger (Hemi-powered of course) to compete at Bonneville.

1986 Holden Commodore VK:

This Group 2 Commodore is actually Andrew’s wife’s car. She has graciously lent him her Holden as he had previously wrecked his own Commodore at turn one at Pukekohe. It is a 1986 VK replica of Alan Grice’s famous 1986 ‘Chickadee’ that was not only the first Group A car to lap Mt Panorama at over 160kph (average) in qualifying but went on to win the race.
Power is supplied by a dry-sumped 401 cubic inch ‘Little Paw’ Torque Power engine and transmitted through a G Force 4 speed gearbox and a Ford 9” diff (just as the Grice car had).
