At the CORE V8 Utes Round 3 at Hampton Downs on March 14-15th, there were some outstanding performances from Glen Collinson and Brad Kroef. We also welcomed back David 'Shaggy' Lowe. But it was Mitch Sparrow who stole the show scoring a 4th, a win and a 2nd, and enough points to win the round.

WE WELCOME THE SUPPORT OF CORE

Round 3 at Hampton Downs March 14-15th was supported by a familiar face - Daniel Ludlam. When he’s not flinging his Holden Ute around racing circuits, he’s hard at work managing CORE – a fully integrated bulk building material supply company with New Zealand manufacturing for Timber Products and Custom Timber Processing Services with operations in Papakura & Putaruru. And CORE is active in so many areas.

Sourcing timber from sustainable forests, Core Lumber produces Radiata Pine Timber and Douglas Fir Lumber, supported by CORE Timber Services where timber is Dried, Machined and Treated, and exported to customers far beyond our shores by the team at CORE supply. CORE Supply combines their NZ Timber Products with Cement, Fibre Cement Board, Steel and Gypsum Board to service their clients’ CORE building material requirements. 

 

With over 20+ Years in operation, check them out at: https://www.wearecore.co.nz/  We're pleased that Daniel and Team CORE had a successful weekend of racing.
