Following the Fishers
15 December 2011
Dear Malc,
I enjoyed reading the story by Norm DeWitt in issue 152 about Ed and Gary Fisher, both great racers in their day, and fun people to know off the track. Time can play games with our memories through the years and it did seem that Gary may have got a few different races mixed together in his story and I just wanted to clarify a few things.
Great guy

Dear Malc,
I met Alan Carter at the Classic Mechanics Show recently and purchased a copy of his book. Have you read it? What a life that man has had to endure. He signed and dedicated it for me with the word ‘enjoy’.
A Great Event
20 October 2011.
G’day Malc,...It was great to see so many pages devoted to the Post Classic racing scene in Australia and Sally Salter’s take on the Phillip Island Classic.
A bit on the side

TT Experience

Dear Malc,
I’m back from the TT sorting photos, and I wanted to share a few thoughts. First, it was a great pleasure to meet you and enjoy a moment. Both you and your magazine are class acts.
Reunited down under
17 August 2011.
Dear Malc,
At a chance meeting at last year’s NZ Classic Register races at Pukekohe two former MGP riders were reunited after a gap of nearly 35 years.
Star Letter: Standing up in a hammock
21 April 2011.
Dear Malc,
Doing things the hard way, for the sheer hell of it, takes a special kind of genius. Success in any venture is so much sweeter when all around said it couldn’t be done, so, congratulations to Steve Linsdell for upholding a great tradition!
Dodging the concrete
21 April 2011.
Dear Malc,
The article about the Long Beach Grand Prix in the January/February issue (147) stirred my memories.

Dear Malc,...Great magazine! Having read Terry Grotefeld’s star letter in the last issue reminded me of another TT story.
Top man Tony

Dear Malc,...I would just like to say what a great article on Tony Scott, especially the picture of Hizzy on page 26, check the back wheel off the ground, amazing.
