Sad news that Roger Brader succumbed to bloody cancer a few days ago. A nice guy, successful and respected businessman, and a very good driver. Started with a Midget and grass track racing in the Wairarapa. Then an XU1 and Levin, followed by a V8 engined XU1. Drove Wayne Fuller's V8 engined Menon Escort very quickly while it stayed together. Wayne and he moved into rallying with a very quick TC Escort which ran at the pointy end of rallies but had some major offs. Latterly he rallied a much modified RX3, which also saw duty as a race car at Manfeild's MG classic meeting. He will be sadly missed by his many friends and the Wairarapa Car Club. My sympathies to his family.
