Daynom ‘Slim’ Templeman may have found his niche after a top result in the latest round of the D1 NZ National Drifting championship. Templeman (NAC Mazda RX7) beat three-time defending champion Gaz Whiter (Tectaloy Nissan S14) to the top spot on the podium at the third round in Taupo in mid December.
‘Slim’ has been in and out of a number of motorsport classes but has stuck with drifting and at last broken through with a win.
Video update!
After the first two rounds of the 2011/12 series Auckland international Templeman was languishing in 13th place in the series points standings. But that didn't stop him outpointing fellow Aucklander Andrew Redward (Nankang Nissan S14) and Dargaville driver Whiter in qualifying on Saturday morning before sweeping all before him in the battles in the afternoon.
The Cody's D1NZ National Drifting Championship now takes a break before resuming at Mt Smart in Auckland on February 10 & 11 2012.
