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.

Wanted: Donington July 19/20th 1980. Pukekohe March 5th 1983 - for starters.

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.

A Couple of Books in my custody at the moment
A couple of books - not race programme's that i have at the moment.
The Stirling Moss biography - that is my late Uncle Ed [ Eddie of NSCC fame ] Dowding's - published in 2001 -Soft cover in 2002.
It was given to him by his Son John [who did the Austin Healey Le Mans Relay Race photos on the Austin Healey thread ] , John's wife and Son Ed's Grandson around that time when Ed was 82.

The book is on loan for a while to be read and enjoyed.
The other is a bargain I found at an Op Shop in Tauranga - purchased for 50 cents
The Motor Manual - published annually [ more or less - not during the Wars ] by Motor Magazine since 1903 - this is the 36th Edition 1959;
Unsure if still published today - as is for the home or backyard Mechanic to fettle his vehicle ;

Performance Tyre Co - a little story.
Remi, cannot help with the date of the event, but I remember " Performance Tyre Co " - back in 1975 I first went there for some Pirrelli tyres for my Austin Healey Sprite Mark 3, I was given a sticker, which went on my Racing Helmet.
At the time PTC was a small business in Morningside, on New North Road not far from Colin Waite Panelbeaters [ still there ]
The helmet - I still have - bit hard to see the blue sticker !!
Attachment 59539
Helmet is a " Max Cheshire GT6 ", and when I competed in my Triumph GT6, I think a few people believed I had my name on my helmet - Not so.

Owen Fausett - Sunbeam Rapier

Tony Roberts was driving the Alfa when I arrived in 1983, not a Jaguar? Yet several others seem to be driving cars I remember from the early 1980's. Then I checked the late Owen Fausett was driving a Sunbeam Rapier, which I thought came after his Lotus Cortina.
Ray Williams was still with Elvie with the Porsche 930 Turbo which is a 1983 car!!!! Chris Watson was driving his TR5 which I'm sure was also after 1984.
Graham Stark's Tuatara I only saw once, Whenuapai 1987.
Confusing!
" Then I checked the late Owen Fausett was driving a Sunbeam Rapier, which I thought came after his Lotus Cortina."
Ray ;
- Owen had the Rapier in the late 1980's early 1990's - I knew him when working in New Lynn, 1988 - 1992, he had a Car Grooming business .. raced the Rapier at Whenuapai, and I think the Domain Hill Climb.
Owen was a good guy - used to come in to work and we would talk cars - for most of the visit - the business bit took less time ..
This is from 1994 Hamilton ..

Some are a bit out of order as I was working on the initial spreadsheet and updating, but obviously didn't sort them properly! Ho Hum... Some have no sequence number as I am missing the programme.
I managed to paste these by copying from a word file.
'Go Advanced'
Top left corner - change to WYSIWYG
An icon comes up to post from Word.
Paste.
You lose colours etc., but it works pretty well.
