"With the introduction of Briggs & Stratton Racing 206 in to New Zealand we came across the opportunity to race at one of the most famous Circuits in the world which with our New Zealand connection to the USA with Scott Dixon , we thought Why not come and have some fun, I managed to convince the other 6 drivers to join me at the Battle of the Brickyard for a once in a lifetime Motorsprot trip."
