The Roaring Season

This photo of Chris was in an Manfeild advert in the latest Classic Driver magazine. It's from the December 9 1973 meeting at Manfeild when Chris rolled his Mini 7 at Splashe on the first lap.

[quote="beowulf"]An interesting report on TV1 news last night. One of the infamous Radio Hauraki crew that defied the Government of the day and let us listen to modern music like, shock horror, the Beatles. Gone but not forgotten.[/quote]

John Dix, the Kiwi music historian who wrote " Stranded in Paradise " back in the 1980's paid a nice tribute to Chris for his music, on Facebook, he did some singing apparently as well as being DJ.. RIP Chris, another of " The Shoestring Pirates " gone

[quote="Rod Grimwood"]Chris was a very nice guy, and he was quick in his ole Mini, Great radio guy and part of NZ History
He had a little workshop down next to Tony Rutherford and was always chatting with him.
RIP Chris[/quote]

Think it was a black one with Radio I on it, very hard keen competitor, ran in early 90s.
Those from that time remember you, and your willingness to help , Chris.
