The Roaring Season

jellywrestler, Nigel Watts put some pit photos of the bikes on his thread in the forum..

Seems a great weekend for the two wheelers, and presume a few 3 wheelers too !!
Yes on the inside page of the programme - the Sidecar Entrants..

Meanwhile from 1963 . One of the early Motorcycle only meetings at the " new " track that is / was " Pukekohe ".
A simple double sided sheet with the meeting details the races the entrants and notes by the guy who was there - not me.
These came from Lloyd Gleeson and I presume his notes..

Not all was actually used - the little loop at Ostend was removed..
The event was Bikes only 1931 to 1950.[/quote]

the first event was in june, but it quickly went to around new year, often one race on new years eve, and one on the 2nd of january.
Also the left loop was not used in the racing. Thanks Roger for you enthusiasm.

Whats the Flying Farewell Event at the end of March all about[/quote]

there's over 400 bikes entered, no room for tin tops. There will i think be a F5000 car doing a few laps as well as three brittens and four Rodger Freeth Suzuki McIntosh's too
