It was decided to hold the memorial event, and with the support of Peggy, Taylor, Spencer, Jazlin and Possums family we are able to remember him as the great rallying personality he was.

Possum was a member of the Pukekohe Car Club where his many friends and associates now come together to provide a brilliant event where his contribution to MotorSport is remembered and celebrated.

The Pukekohe Car Club would like to acknowledge to support of Rally New Zealand and their contributions to this event. We would also like to thank our loyal sponsors, SmartWood by Alpwood
