Gisborne Gladiators finished on the podium at the New Zealand Stockcar Teams Championship in Stratford after four wins from five match-ups.
Wet weather forced organisers to shift the whole event to Saturday, from qualifying right through to the final that night.
The Gladiators — captain Ethan Rees, James Kirk, James
Clarke, Ben Holt, Mason O’Dwyer and reserve Willy McClune — were third overall.
They beat Whanganui and Waikato in the qualifying rounds, and Greymouth in the quarterfinals, but lost to eventual winners Stratford in a semifinal.
The Gisborne team smashed the Rotorua Rascals in the run-off for third place.
