When a country uses so much poison that is banned in the rest of the world - with seemingly no regard for humanity, there's got to be a sociological explanation - this exploration is about finding one.

3-6 Feb 2017: Leadfoot Festival, Cooks Beach
So Leadfoot is a strange Kiwi phenomenon. The owners aspire to build a Goodwood-Festival-of-Speed -type event, but that could never really happen here. (although many Kiwi's who haven't attended the original are rightly very pleased with the line-up). So instead, there is an eclectic collection of classic cars and bikes - even Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang! was there! LOL! And the race itself is formed from the owner's Rod Millen's 'hill climb' driveway. It's different. Fun and quite an event for all the family - especially when the sun is shining like it was for us this weekend.
