Jim Gordon can be found lying on a hammock most weekends - but it's supported by three wheels and being blown along at more than 60km/h.
Gordon, 86, is the country's oldest blokart racer and has refused to slow down as he lines up for the New Zealand Open today at the Canterbury Blokart Club.
In any sport, competing against someone half your age is impressive. But Gordon regularly competes with racers less than a quarter his age.
Old age isn't slowing him down either. You would forgive him for moving into a slower kart. However, Gordon's done the opposite - he will race in the speedy lightweight performance class at the New Zealand Open, which takes place on the Air Force Museum of New Zealand's tarmac.
"When I was in the more basic kart I used to win races. Now that I'm racing in the elite crowd, I'm usually at the back," said Gordon.
