Driver: Vaughn Smith
Age: 17
Vehicle: TQ Midget
After two years of saving and support from his parents, Vaughn has recently bought a TQ Midget Racecar to race in this upcoming season. Still in the concept stage, Vaughn is working hard to have the car race ready for the 2021/22 season.
Racing in youth ministocks for over 5 years Vaughn has won many titles throughout these years, the most recent being the Wellington Championship.
Outside of the racing calendar, Vaughn has been mentoring and representing the Wellington Youth Ministocks voluntarily on Saturday nights.
Vaughn’s local track (Wellington) only hosts TQ Midget Racing once or twice a season, therefore 90% of his racing will be all over the North Island.
After his first ever practice run Vaughn is absolutely loving it.
