I wish to pass on the death yesterday of Catherine Benbrook who during the 1980's and early 90's was the senior Modified Sportsman handicapper at Waikaraka Park. After we separated, Catherine moved to Wellington and recently moved to Palmerston North. Many drivers and officials knew her during her role at Waikaraka Park. RIP Catherine. Lindsay Benbrook

Thank you Roger and Anita. It's been twenty odd years since many members of our family were involved in the running of Waikaraka Park.

Thank you Barry.
I've been invited by the ASSCC Committee to attend the NZ Mod Champs and also the Modified Sportsman Superdirt Cup at Waikaraka Park . Unfortunately can't make the Dirt Cup but looking forward to the Mod Champs. Catherine always looked forward to full fields of the mods as part of her Handicapper role, so hope that she'll be watching this one.

Catherine was a wonderful person who took her job at Waikaraka Park very seriously. There was never any favouritism in the modified ranks, Bruce Harris was always put to the rear of & quite often a lap down on the rest of the field. Catherine would often joke with Bruce about not showing any favours to him just because he was her brother-in-law!
RIP Catherine sincere condolences to Catherine's family - all my love Julie Harris (Benbrook)

I was very shocked to read this today. I knew Catherine from a very young age. Mum and Dad were very good friends with the Benbrooks.
Condolances to the family.
RIP Catherine.
The Fergussons and Susan.
