Cheers Steve, the sentiment is much appreciated and I'll continue to post as long as I can get to historic motorsport!
The Alfa is Lindsay O'Donnell's according to the programme, I used to pine over this car when I was a young Alfisti!

There is surely room for both the historic races and the TRS series down-under and both get great write-ups in the international motorsport press. And it must be better having TRS cars racing for the NZGP trophy than Formula Fords, no disrespect to that class either. As far as spectating goes, I'm on your side Custaxie50, I attend historic racing in North America regularly, occasionally an Indy race just because Scott Dixon is there and I can wave the Kiwi flag (with the silver fern, another topic for discussion...).
You have to give it to America ,they know how to do motorsport and do it well.

Hi Custaxie, Im at Teretonga over the weekend and if you are there I would appreciate the opportunity to catch up and discuss your thoughts.
That goes for anyone else as well, please just come and intro yourselves and fire the comments and questions at me.
I'll be the fat guy with a MSNZ tie on!

Allan,looks to me you are not looking after yourself, its been a number of years would have been when i came into your new office was it just down the road from Greenlane,you had just got back into nz.Before you came out Kate came out to check me over,she must have been to every town in nz at one time would that be right, hope things are coming right for you today Allan.Its been a laugh and i have had some fun over seeing Cus2 out there when i over hear others talk about the old car,i recall the first day i talked to you it was late one night on Radio Pacific and we talked about cus1.Later on you rang me and we put a story together for nz auto news may 94.All the best to you Allan.
