AARON Brown’s streetstock has undergone a significant change this week. He has swapped 5G for the well-deserved 1NZ. Brown won the New Zealand title at Kihikihi speedway on Saturday night.
“It’s started to sink in now,” he said. “So many people have congratulated me this week and that feels great.I’ve really appreciated it.”
He also appreciates the support of his sponsors Williams and Wilshier, Gisborne Engineering, Eastland Oil Distributors, Shearing Plant Maintenance and The Tyre General.
“The target for the Gisborne boys now is to win the New Zealand GP on Saturday here, to go with my NZ1 title and Travis Gooch’s North Island title.”
