included in the comments is some footage of Hamilton Car Clubs " Ngutunui Hill Climb 2009 " which I understand is the same road [ Pekanui Road ] that the Bardahl series used in 1979 the course is 8.7 km long - drove the road a few months ago but at a very sedate pace.
Street and other circuits in New Zealand
Just had a look at " The Motorhood " a website from the publishers of NZ Classic Car, about the history of track in New Zealand.
It is worth a read, and I am sure some corrections will be prof-erred ;
