Race Programmes and entry lists - including sales and wants

Thought I'd start of this thread as a resource for anyone wanting to sell, buy or give away race programmes, but also as a resource for posting scanned entry lists. As those who have dipped into my pictures thread will know, other contributors such as Milan have been invaluable in filling in some gaps, but I have felt that maybe there is a need for a specific thread.

Although the interweb is continually expanding, as people load historic race information, resources in some areas are often very difficult to find, especially in NZ. This could also include minor events, so up to anyone to ask for info, or post it.

I do have several duplicate race programmes, I'd be more than happy to swap or sell, but I am short of several race programmes particularly from Pukekohe in the 1980's.

Sell/swap: I can offer a couple of May 28th 1977 Donington reopening race programmes. Quite thick and very much collector's items I would have thought.

Thanks Roger, you have probably picked up that the pic was wrongly dated in Sandy's book. Thanks a bunch anyway for your efforts.

Lovely stuff!

Anyone who kept that old stuff is to be commended...

Rhys, Sandy's book was quite inaccurate about a few things including when Baypark Closed, when Peter Hanna passed away .. and this ..

Though I would steal your stuff - here is the picture from the book - your posting and Milan Fistonic had the entry list.

So now we know !! R D Youngman from Palmerston North - and the Husky is next to a Full size [ length - 4 door ] Hillman Station Wagon [ sorry Estate ] from Te Awamutu.

And of course, the full grid.., that picture is to be found on the "Old NZ Motor racing" site on facebook, thanks to Graham Woods for posting.
Isn't it sad that when folks produce books where a little more research might give a whole lot more accurate information? Some time in the future they become the "truth" because it's written.

As a result of our digging up stuff for our proposed book on Warwick Farm we've been handed a lovely bundle of stuff...

The large bundle of practice time sheets, grid sheets and results sheets will make wonderful reading.
