Series stalwart Woolhouse won his first D1NZ crown in 2006 and since then has come close but has never quite been able to repeat the feat. This weekend he did, despite a less than auspicious start. "Yeah, " he said as he waited for the podium ceremony, "we only did quarter of a lap of the track on Saturday before the oil light came on and when we pulled the motor we found we had a cracked oil pump. It took all night for my engine builder who came down from Whangarei to fix it, then this morning, just before qualifying, we did a diff." Not the best way to start arguably your most important event of the season but Woolhouse didn't let it get to him, pipping title rival, 'Mad Mike' Whiddett (Red Bull/Speedhunters Mazda RX7) by half a point to top the standings in qualifying then beating Hamilton's Bruce Tannock (Achilles Radial Nissan S13) in the Top 16, Drew Donovan (Mag & Turbo Tauranga Nissan S15 V8) in the Top 8 and Driftcorp teammate Gaz Whiter (Tectaloy Nissan S14 V8) in the Top 4 before meeting and beating defending Cody's D1NZ series champion Curt Whittaker (Autosure Warranties Toyota 2JZ/Nissan Skyline R34) for the number one spot on the podium.
