I think the # 124 yellow open wheeler is one of the Begg FM2 chassis, and the red and white #52 following is
Dexter Dunlop in the FVA McRae S2
OK just received 51 more from Pukekohe and Baypark to do. Will process and upload tomorrow.
post #36, the man measuring noise is wasting his time with the grandstand acting as an echo chamber. Should these numbers come up in future noise complaints dispute them. You have photographic proof the operator did not know his job

These ones from later year at Pukekohe - not much I could do with them but I will post a couple anyway because of what they are.

Ok, these we have no idea who but Grass Track would be at Pukekawa
http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/q...psae9ec0c1.jpg
and this was a Hill Climb somewhere in the Counties area.

Thats all for now, hope you enjoy. I will edit posts as people can help with any names. Much appreciated for the help.
Keith always says he is sorry he ruined my life by dragging me along to the races as a mascot from the time I was about 3 or 4 years old at which time I could name most of the cars and drivers, single seater and saloon.
I am most definitely not sorry he did as it was the best years of my life going to the races at Puke, Baypark, Speedway/Stockcars at Western Springs and Waikaraka and Stockcars at Forest Lake Speedway in Hamilton. I must admit I enjoyed the Stockcars more than the speedway but we always went to the big meets at the Springs.
He has more pics to dig out and go through, unsure at this stage what he will find although he did mention he had some London to Sydney Marathon shots from when he was living in Sydney. Should have some shots of the older Aussie racing somewhere and maybe some more NZ stuff as well.
Keith wants to get a new scanner to get a better image first though so when he does them I will start a Part 2 Thread to post them in.
Cheers
Tony
PS John Mc - I am still working on the Monaro pic to get it Bronze as it should be :)
Tony- do you want me to post over some of Gradys original Bronze paint that is still there?
Hi Tony, this picture had very special memories for me as I am there with my father and younger brother in the photo leaning on the fence. I am 6th from left in yellow (aged 14) and my younger brother is next to me with father in check shorts and knee socks 4th from left. Wonderful to see. Was wondering if you might be able to send me a more high resolution scan of this image to my e-mail address at mairangiman@hotmail.com so I could make an enlarged print. I'd really appreciate that if you were able to, thanks Gerard Richards
The Lemon and Paeroa Escort at the end of post#69 was owned by my father in law Barry Pointon, as Jim Richards was working for him at the time, and still was when he got the drive in Jim Carneys Escort later on.
