Roger has been involved in motor racing for the last 50 years – starting with crew work for rallying, then he spent a few years racing speedway saloons and for the past 25 years has raced historic cars. He is also heavily involved into the restoration side as well. Roger also helped the late Ashley Stichbury with his race team (Westbury Racing) winning a couple of titles along the way. He is  part of the AFRICA racing team from Hawkes Bay – (work out what the word means or ask Roger himself.) They are a bunch of old racers who like to be around cars and drivers and enjoy them. Many thanks to Rod and Shelly for putting on this world class event. Roger has  been to Goodwood a couple of times and he thinks this event matches it.

1956 Buckler DDII:

This particular car was raced by Vic Simkin from Northland in the 1950s and early 1960s. Its restoration was undertaken in 1990 and it has been raced by the current owner at every race track, airfield circuit and also the last Wellington street race. The car has been rebuilt to period specifications and still runs drum brakes all round. Roger has unfinished business at the Leadfoot Festival and if you see him in the pits, he will tell you the story!. Roger is proud of the fact that this car has raced for 25 years and has never failed a scrutineering audit and he has a letter from Motorsport New Zealand congratulating him on this.
