" Motor Racing pics - my early years, 1964-71 ; Pukekohe - other Auckland events 1950's on.. "
The thread has changed it's purpose, now includes other peoples pics and news items ..
It real Title should be :
" The Pukekohe Story "
- 1963 to 2023.
. Other Auckland Events .. Ardmore, and Beach Racing at Muriwai.
With the imminent demise of Pukekohe as a car racing venue in April 2023 - it will join the category of lost tracks.
With that in mind will use the thread for events at other Auckland tracks.
" Have put a lot of other North Island Tracks, Levin, Matamata, Napier, Ohakea the Mount Maunganui Street Circuit that preceded Baypark, and Paritutu, New Plymouth on the " Dunedin 1984 " thread and will continue to do that.
-revised September 6th 2022.
The " Dunedin 1984 " Thread is already used for other South Island Events."
- Matamata, Mount Maunganui, Napier and Paritutu were all Street Circuits, from the 1960's.
- Levin and Baypark as we know were designated Racing Tracks.
The Title of the thread needs to be changed, but for the moment the Title of Post One is changed
" Motor Racing pics - my early years, 1964-71 ; Pukekohe and other Auckland events; "
As mentioned in the thread ;
I first saw racing at Pukekohe in 1964 - The Wills Six Hour Race - from outside the track.
The First meeting I actually attended as a Spectator [ paying ] with a Camera was the Wills Six Hour meeting on 9th October 1965
The Programme for that meeting posted by Ken H in Post #82
The pictures are my own taken with a basic Kodak Camera with no adjustments possible, just point and shoot;.
April 1966 meeting ; the Reverse Direction one ; never tried again as too dangerous and quite a few accidents including
Ron Browns Mini; as mentioned Ron was Assistant Clerk of the course that day ; he was the Team Mate of Allan Boyle who also ran a Cooper " S ".
