Shaun’s flying start to truck series

Shaun Richardson is an “adrenalin junkie” – that’s why he loves racing “11 other maniacs” over jumps in a 1.3 tonne Stadium Truck. The 53-year-old from Scarborough is one of only 12 drivers invited to join the 2021 Australian Stadium Truck Series. Races are fast (speeds of 225-230km/h), furious (it is a contact sport) and the ‘mini trophy trucks’ fly (a distance of 200 feet was recorded at Perth) off ramps. At this year’s Super Sprint opening round in Tasmania last month, Shaun finished second, fourth and third in the three races.
