Carl explains that racing must be in his blood as although he did not know his father, he was told that he was a successful drag racer. Carl found himself doing the same when he reached an age to purchase and build a vehicle for himself. This car was the JR-COZY Ford Laser and Carl went on to become a two-time New Zealand 2WD Drag Champion. He is the current New Zealand street car record holder. Carl has now moved on to track and hill climb racing with the Laser WRC.

1989 Ford Laser GTX:

This Laser WRC Targa Rally car was campaigned in the early 2000s 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 in May 2017. The Evolution 7 running gear has made this little weapon no longer prone to the Mazda/Ford drive-line curse!
