American driver for Pukekohe
A young American, Mike Roseri, will drive in the first round of the Union Travel Formula Pacific motor-rac-ing series at Pukekohe tomorrow. Rosen aged 23, has been racing single-seaters for only 18 months but finished eighth in this year’s American Formula Atlantic (Pacific) championship and was named “rookie of the year.” He intends racing in the Aurora F.P. series in New Zealand in January and sees tomorrow’s Pukekohe meeting as a good chance to get in some practice in the new Ralt RT4 that he will drive in the series. The “big three" of New Zealand Formula Pacific racing, David Oxton Dave
McMillan and Steve Millen, will all start at Pukekohe, with Oxton and Millen driving RT4s but McMillan in a Dutsun-engined RTI, which he feels will be much faster this season after much development work during the winter. The veteran Aucklander Ken Smith, will race a new RT4, as will,the expatriate New Zealander, Graham Watson, now living in Australia. Other drivers for the first Union Travel round include Eric Morgan (Ralt Rtl), Tom Donovan (Odlins March 768), Brian Hartley (Chevron 834), Grant Campbell (Chevron 836). Steve Cameron (Cuda) and Robin Irving (Modus).
