 Red Devil Racing is made up of two teams. One is a "Classic Team" consisting of red motorcycles, all Triumph 3TAs. The other team is a "Modern Team" consisting of three riders on ZXR600 Kawasakis and one on a 150 Kawasaki. This all came about by Graeme Cole who had been racing many years on a MatchlessTwin in the Open Modified class and a Matchless sidecar with Neville Mickleson decided he wanted a change and looking around his shed decided on a 3TA. He wanted something that was reliable as he didn't want to fix things by torch light anymore at the tracks.
The first time out was at Pukekohe race circuit where he won every race he was in and the interst started from there. Nick his son was the first in line and Graeme has to admit Nick thrashes him now. From then on other riders who have seen how much fun they are have joined the group with at present 15 of these little red bikes out there now. Nick then moved into Modern racing and Graeme followed him around and supported him and from there two other riders joined in and the modern team was formed. The Red Devil Team are seen racing around the countryside in both north and south islands and have also raced in Australia. The major events being the Nationals, Wanganui street races, Paeroa street races, Taupo spectacular and the Register events for the classics. Major events being the Festival in February and the TT held Labour weekend. For more info see our events page. |
