I must say that I was a bit taken aback by the cavalier attitude of the kiwi folks with regards to pricey vintage racing iron. It's a lesson learned for everyone who ever wanted to do something similar. Maybe the UK is a better choice for an international racing saga. Keep the shiny side up in 2008.

I must say, as a spectator and wife of Roger Carter, I am very disappointed that you experienced such bad behaviour from a few drivers on the track! In my opinion, I believe you are rightly justified to be disappointed that respect is not given toward drivers and the value of the classic cars raced in a so called - friendly race, and that crash and bang is OK! I agree that the fines are a joke when you consider the $value of the repairs needed after such careless and inconsiderate driving. Roger and I are pleased that you enjoyed your time in New Zealand once again and thank you for taking the time to write and include the video footage of your races. Roger enjoyed the two days at Ruapuna and Timaru also. Suzanne and Jack, what a fantastic story of your trip Down Under.
