Hi and welcome to our racing life.  Our racing involves all our family and lots of good friends.  Our family consists of Paul and Sue Williams and children Shane, Tracey, and the youngest Ryan.

September 2009: The 2009/2010 season will see big changes for Team Williams Racing. Shane will be making the step up from racing the Nissan to taking over the driving duties in the Camaro. This would be an enviable task for most onlookers but I'm sure Shane will be relishing the opportunity and will no doubt also be very successful.
His first race in the Camaro will be on the 27th September which will be used  as a lead-up to the Ron Silvester Memorial meeting in November. The top north island cars are expected to compete at this event which is also to be televised nationwide.

2005: Ryan & Shane are both now racing in the South Island driving their seal track race cars. Ryans being a Honda Accord and Shanes being a Nissan Sentra. Ryan has competed with the adults in his motor-racing debut and been found to be very competitive and amazed several of the older competitors. Shane has found to be very forceful in his driving style resulting in good success along with a rebuild to the Nissan. Paul has sat back to concentrate on his families racing and let Nigel Sheppard take over the driving duties in the Morris Lubricants Trans-Am Camaro. Nigel has just completed the OSCA GT1 Championship and finished 1st overall which is very encouraging for his first season in the car. We now begin the off-season rebuild and look forward to running in the new NZ Trans-Am Championship format due to start in Oct 05.

2001: We have just got Ryan involved in Go Kart racing at Carrs Road in Christchurch.  He is driving a KT100 in the junior restricted class.  The main idea is having fun and him enjoying his racing and later on, if he likes his motor sport we will be the most helpful parents in helping him further up the ladder in his activities.
Well back to Paul. I drive a corvette super saloon at Woodford Glen Speedway and I also have a factory american sealed track race car in my shed at home.  The two cars are like chalk and cheese to drive.  The Camaro being, I feel, the most challenging.  I won the Open Saloon Car Associations (OSCA) Overall Championship last season with the car and even dealt to some of the full blown TRANZAM cars which upset some of the drivers to the extent that they have had the rules changed, so, that to compete in the championships again this season I have to slow down to be able to compete.  The OSCA officials altered the rules so no car will be able to lap under 1 minute 27 seconds around Ruapuna and be eligible to compete for the championship. Well that counts me out for now, even though my car is the same specifications as most of the other OSCA cars.  Oh Well, just sour grapes. 
This season I will mainly just concentrate on my dirt track car.  I have been fortunate to have an excellent crew to help us.  Brent Summerfield. Roger Nees, Paul Buttolph and my brother Anthony Williams.  We have got a fair amount of sorting out to do but even while we are doing that we feel that we will be very competitive.
My lovely wife, Sue, is very supportive and looks after the appetite and refreshments of the crew, as they need to keep their energy up.  Sue's nick name is "cup of Tea" Sue, as she always has the jug on.  She never misses any of my races and is known to get very worked up while watching sometimes.
