The Stagger Tapes

For the first episode back in 1210 days... I sit down with ex-driver and new Speedway New Zealand Board Member, Christian Hermansen. Christian and I discuss all things from misconceptions about SNZ, a reflection on the AGM just gone, his decision around joining the board, and more. Sit down and learn something about the behind-the-scenes of Speedway New Zealand from a newly welcomed board member.

Tune in as I sit down with three members of the Auckland TQ Midget Association, discussing what brought them to the class and the great qualities of being involved.
