MNZ survey

[ERC]

The question that wasn't asked in the survey, was whether or not those who have elected to walk away, had any reservations or any dissatisfaction, as to the way MSNZ was run.

Maybe this also has something to do with it... From the HRC Newsletter receive today.

Tony Roberts, Chairman of the Historic Commission, today resigned from MSNZ citing disappointment and dissatisfaction with the direction Motorsport Management was taking.

Roberts said that the Historic Commission had questioned the process by which Motorsport House was being sold and then questioned the secretive process of the sale, but received no meaningful answers to their questions. Tony Roberts said that as a major asset of the member clubs, the constitution applied to the sale and the member clubs should have been involved in the decision to sell and that the sale process should have been transparent.

Without an auction, how do we know if the member clubs achieved the true value of the building he said? The building was sold for $1.3 when the Government valuation was $1.53 million.

Tony Roberts, who is also the President of the Historic Racing Club Inc, Chairman of NZ Historic Muscle & Saloon Cars and Chairman of the NZ F5000 Association and has been on the MSNZ Historic Commission for 20 years.

Roberts was the recipient of the prestigious MSNZ Ron Frost Award for his passion for Motorsport and the building of Hampton Downs Motorsport Park in 2011.
