I would like to thank the Tony Quinn Foundation and the HD NZ Racing Academy for your support of Formula Ford this season. The support has enabled us to help grow our fields this season and it's great to be able to give 100% of the funding to the competitors. We are excited about the level of inquiry we are getting from parties that are now interested in competing in Formula Ford and the closer working relationship between North and South Islands looks to only grow stronger into the future. Once again thank you for your support. It is greatly appreciated by us all.
