Fancy a spin in the V8 passenger seat?

Reporter Franklin County News

How would you like send someone you know hurtling around the track with a motoring superstar?

Franklin County News and Sports Media NZ are giving one reader the chance to experience three heart-stopping laps around Pukekohe Racetrack on August 29 as part of the lead-up to the ITM Auckland Supersprints.

Just write to us, explaining in 150 words or less why you or someone you know deserves to be in the passenger seat.

Perhaps you know of an unsung hero in the community? Or maybe an unfortunate series of events has struck a loved one?

Tell us their tale by emailing james.baker@stuff.co.nz and along with a phone number and all necessary contact information.

The winner will get a choice between hurtling around the track in a Commodore VXR with Greg Murphy, or if they're a Ford fan, they can choose to tear across the tarmac in a Ford Mustang with Paul Radisich.

All nominees must be over 18.

The winner will be chosen by Franklin County News, but details won't be revealed for publication without permission.

After they've hit the track, they will also take part in a meet and greet with Scott McLaughlin and Fabian Coulthard over lunch.

Just make sure they bring a strong stomach.

Entries close August 22.
