Meet the Service Crew

A Go Karter at heart with a 2 kart team of his own and in March 2012 Steve went to buy a Benson Go Kart that Adam had for sale and then one thing lead to another.nThe relationship with Redback Racing started out as being a sponsor to the team with Steve's company CIA Promotional Products, and that still continues today, then Steve was invited to come along and see Targa Wrest Point 2013. After going along for the ride expecting to be watching race cars do their thing on some back roads of Tasmania, he soon realised there was far more to it than that On the Saturday morning Steve was introduced to Justin the head mechanic and then given a map to read and instruct him on how to get Geeveston, our first location to service the cars. The next thing he was in full swing setting tyre pressures, fuelling cars, bleeding brakes, checking wheel nuts and anything else that he could help out with to keep the team in front. This experience was all new to and not what he was expecting as a so called spectator but a weekend he obviously enjoyed. After now attending all of the Targa Australia rounds Steve has taken on the roll of organizing the total preparation for the GTR which he has done to perfection! He's still Go Karting every month as well!
