I really enjoy F 5000 racing and I was disappointed to learn that Ken Smith was no longer competing in the Formula 5000 events at Taupo even though he was entered in the programme.
I am sure a lot of other drivers did not mind Ken's absence and it gave them a chance to shine.
Winning each race at Taupo was UK driver, Michael Lyons, in his 1974 Lola T 400 # 64.
