Volunteer Moment of the Month
Hayden Paddon dropped in for a few hours to take
some laps recently and graciously took a few minutes
out of his busy schedule to sign autographs and have
a photo taken with two of our Friday volunteers - Carla
and Trent.
Trent started volunteering for us earlier this year and
has proven himself to be a dedicated and dependable
addition to our Friday Race Test Day team.
Trent enjoys watching the drivers and being a part of
the Ruapuna Motorsport Park environment, so it was
a real treat to arrange for him to have a photo taken
with one of his racing heroes.
Keep up the good work Trent!
