Michael Pickens - Part 1

Picko makes things happen! After 10 New Zealand Speedcar titles, an Australian Speedcar title and a little flirt with NASCAR, he is a great example to young racers of the 'effort equals results' philosophy.

Having worked a full day, he found time to chat to Rusty before an evening prepping his race cars with a loyal band of friends in the speedway team's workshop. The two discuss how he rose to win the New Zealand speedcar title, the learnings on the way and harnessing the talent to open doors in Australia and the United States.
