The Turbonator has been the one to beat out of the 4 cylinder powered C Class trucks for over 5 years and counting! Always in a league of its own, the Zook-Sport team turned heads with their performance last season holding onto the 3NZ spot right until the final round where they had to settle for 4th outright in 2023.
Zook-Sport 4WD Rally Team started off in 2005 when Nathan Fogden & Graeme Paton debuted in A Class with their Suzuki SJ413. Taking two class titles, Nathan Fogden & Mike Gibbons would move up to E Class in 2009 winning the class in 2014. These two class winning vehicles are now driven to further titles by sons Brinn & Cody.
