Richard and Tracey are taking a couple of seasons off – the baby is nearly due, and the house is being extended to make room. Richard will still be carrying out his NZDRA Technical Inspector duties, and Tracey will be performing her duties on the NZDRA Executive Committee as the Drivers Representative for Zone 2. Together with their crew, they wish the rest of the Eagle Automotive Racing Team all the best for the coming season, and are looking forward to re-joining the fold in 2009.
