JIMCO'S POWELL IS 2008 OFFROAD RACING NATIONAL CHAMPION
Christchurch racer takes first championship at Full Throttle
Media release
26 October 2008
 Christchurch racer Daniel Powell, a newcomer to the sport’s top unlimited class, has won the 2008 Asset Finance New Zealand Offroad Racing National Championship.
At the final round, raced over two days of Labour Weekend at Manukau, Powell held on through a wet and miserable day of short course racing to stay in contention for the title, and then went out from pole position for Sunday’s 163 km endurance race to take second overall and second in class behind Beachlands racer Neville Smith.
The event was part of Manukau’s Full Throttle motorsport weekend, which also includes auto shows and the official start of the 2008 Targa road rally.
The combined results at the Iveco/Elf final round were enough to hand Powell the title. His car, an American Jimco single-seater powered by a 3.5-litre twin-turbo Nissan V6, was engineered by 2007 national champion Andrew Thomason. It is the second time a Jimco has won the national championship, and there are now three Jimco cars active in the sport in New Zealand.
