    Wow - brilliant short film! Thanks for the link. How the hell did you find this Tony?

    Loved the corner 'drifting' of the saloons! Wonder how much sand was on the circuit? Also wonder how the Holden 'humpy' did against a field of Minis, 105E's and Lotus Cortinas?

    No, the Holden's Bill Macpherson's, later destroyed in a nasty fire at Levin

    Paritutu 1965 - 1966 - 1967 - Labour Weekend Street Races, New Plymouth.

    Alan Boyle of " Purple " and " Tomato " Mini / Cooper fame, later the Cocoa Cola Viva, revisited Paritutu recently on his Motorcycle - a bit of nostalgia tour.

    He took photos of parts of the Track [ the road as it is now ] and has marked events - The Start Finish line, where he was in Tomato at the 1966 meeting, and where a couple of competitors fell off the track.

    Will put them on the " Dunedin 1984 " - thread, where most non - Pukekohe Ardmore stuff has been going.

    The Start Finish area today;
