God - what a shock. You seldom ever think about this sort of thing happening in NZ and especially in historic racing.

That`s right Mike, I spent a bit of time talking with Stan at the Denny Hulme Festival, and on other occassions, and he was racing for the right reasons - enjoyment. This hobby can be cruel at times...... R.I.P Stan.

When I saw the car come in last Friday, I couldn't believe what I saw - in all my years of going to racetracks, I've never seen a more damaged car.
He was a great bloke, an absolute enthusiast and a decent driver as well - this is not a surprise given the messages we were getting, but terribly sad.
Rest in peace Stan.

RiP - I can add no more. Any racer lost is sad, more so when it is in the classic/historic arena.

My condolences to the family and friends of Stan Redmond.
Although I never met him in person, at least I had the pleasure of watching him hustle his Lola. The people I have spoken to, who did know him, say he was an entrepreneur, an enthusiast and a gentleman. May he rest in peace.
