Amy Racecar has existed in various formations since early 2002. They play Pop/Rock music with other bits. Originally based in Napier, and then straddling the Waikato with half the band living in Hamilton, Billy Truimvist made the move to Hamilton to continue his never ending quest to add musicians to The Racecar that suck, but not like that.
