When Shane Drake and I bought Chicane Racewear from Maurice O'Reilly, back in 2000, that ginger haired youngster was one of the people on the catalogue, wearing a NZ made Chicane suit. I reminded him of that at Leadfoot this year. I should have taken an old catalogue for him to autograph.
He is great ambassador for the sport and for NZ.

“Born Racer” a documentary about Scott Dixon debuts October 2.
Most rate Dixon alongside many of the greats, Andretti, Foyt, Mears, Kristensen, Prost
and Schumacher as one of the best racing drivers regardless of series.
He’s about to win his fifth Indy Car title which puts him behind only Foyt who has
seven championships and the guy is just an all around bad-ass who can drive
anything.

Well done Scott. I still remember the image of Scott racing a Nissan Pulsar and being taken out by Robbie Francevic. He hopped out of the car with a cushion strapped to his backside - he was that small. Way to go Scott. The NZ Media may ignore your achievements but we enthusiasts know how good you are.

Nigel - agree, but at least " Social Media " as in Facebook and others do respond - good note from Old mate - Allan Dick - Autonews in the 60's 70's and latterly Classic Driver and others have made comments - a comment said what about " Sir Scott Dixon " Good Idea..
