has been involved in Motorsport since his school days with experience
on both sides of the fence in race car preparation in NZ and the
USA and of course behind the wheel. Club rallying and Formula
Vee provided Barrie with his grounding before moving on to several
successful years in Formula Ford and Formula Atlantic (NZ's then
premier single seater class). After a break from competition Barrie
returned to the sport making his mark in both the NZ 2.0 Litre
Touring Car Championship and Dunlop Centennial Cup driving the
ex Ford Motorsport Telstar. His first outings in the Telstar saw
him win three of four rounds and secured him the 1997 Dunlop Centennial

Street Skills Series. Since then he has driven for Geoff Shorts
