Originally owned and operated by long time Australian speedway guru Greg Gardner, our business - under the name Gardner Engineering - became synonymous with high quality performance and custom engineering for over 30 years.

Greg’s legacy as the keystone of the business was that he always offered more than what was required – or expected. He was an encyclopaedia of knowledge – and always keen to offer advice and information to all customers – old and new.

In 2006, Greg sold the company to Phil Weeks, a Kiwi racer and engineering contractor. Phil saw the business advertised on a website in NZ, and basically had his mind set on buying it straight away.  

Shortly after purchasing the business, Phil offered a partnership opportunity to company employee, Brett Smythe. Brett has worked for Gardner’s for 11 years – specialising in CNC programming and machining. He jumped at the chance to have a personal input into the direction and flow of the business.

Thus began a partnership that combines a firsthand racing and race engineering perspective with a solid understanding of Greg Gardner’s passion – and genius – in manufacturing and supplying quality race components to racers in all categories, disciplines and of all performance levels.

In November 2008, in order to project a new image and brand, Phil and Brett changed the company name to RAGE (Race And General Engineering).

The name and logo epitomises the racing pedigree of the company whilst creating an easily recognisable brand aimed at today’s race competitor and the racing public.

Race and General Engineering - It may be a new name and look, but it is built on the same knowledge and know-how shaped by Greg Gardner over the last three decades.

This site carries the company’s solid tradition of offering more than is expected in to the 21^st Century
