I will second that, Had some great battles in later years on northern speedway tracks with Ken.

I`d say that is John Riley in #141 Rod, as Rod Coppins would have had the Camaro by then and ran it as #41 for a while.

Mini is mystery, but next one is Mr Cook and another of the BMW.

The fella in the photo with the big smile is Ken McQuarrie the guy who found photos and who was driving a hot MK2 Zephyr at this meeting and later was to own and race a green GTHO that came from south island and was originally run by no other than Ernie Sprague

More,
Says Riley in Mustang but I think it is Rod Coppins by sitting position and number, Though Riley did race it once in this number. Stan Baird in mk3, Anderson in new BMW, Silcock in bellowing Jag, this was a nice car.

Red in the new paint/spoiler/wing Mustang

A young Jim in the Imp this would have been one of first drives in it. Jack in the Escort new as well, Jim Boyd in big Lola and Boyle in fast Mii

A friend found this tucked away in old box under his house along with a heap of old Motorman and Auto News.

This was a local paper/mag put out in photo form of activities in the Waikato back then.

Some interesting shots/cars etc.

I agree Rob but I think the Castrol livery actually enhanced it/

It is a beautiful looking car, remember when the wing thing arrived. Look at the angle in comparison to how the car is sitting.
