She is described as " an Award - winning journalist who started writing about cars 20 years ago and now considers New Zealand tracks a second home ".
Vaguely recollect that the book did not get great reviews, must now re-read it though as must have some good stories in it.
On page 107 is a Picture of Peter Hanna, with the title -
" The final flag, Peter Hanna at the end of Bay Park's last day - NZ Herald photo ".
It has the same information that Easter 1993 was the last meeting and that Peter passed away 18 months later on 13 December 1994. whereas information posted above shows last meeting in 1995 and Peter passed away 13 December 1998.

So incorrect information has been around for 13 years if not longer.
Roger, your information makes it very much a case of either Sandy not looking for new information or whether AMC used her information from the book with due credit. Regardless, you guys who raced at the last meeting and indeed show proof with the programme cover above deserve the record to be corrected in a future issue.

If AMC decide to run more NZ Sacred Sires features, hopefully they get them right or visit TRS and ask you guys before going to print.
