To "Fhonemans" Frasers family :

I was very taken by Frasers skill in being able to see Te Marua speedway for more than just a focus on the racing.
He spent much time capturing the people that make it such a success !
Not just repetitive boring track photos - same car same corner - were not his style , he stepped out from the millions of usual infield shots and took shots from multiple angles and of the whole speedway scene ! - Historical shots when we appreciate the speed at which we change !
He even accepted special requests to take father and son mother and daughter, family & team shots - preparation pre race photos etc etc.
And then would offer them for free with no monetary reward and send them over the email.
I have many a great high quality shot "capturing a moment in time" to treasure .

Fhoneman - I have said it to you before and Ill say it again - Thanks very much I am sure we all appreciated it !

My deepest sympathy to Fraser's family, such a genuine kind hearted supporter of speedway.

I always enjoyed checking out your photos at the track, and also on his site. Such a true artist at work.

you will be missed by one and all.
