Re: Muriwai Beach Racing - The Bill Tinson Collection

Minutes after posting the previous comment I find this one - http://www.localhistoryonline.org.nz/cgi-bin/PUI?a=d&d=waim-JTD-01K-04472-1 - which gives the date of the 1922 race as 1 march 1922, so the car burnt in November can't be the Craig (ex Jellicoe) Twin Six.

Re: Muriwai Beach Racing - The Bill Tinson Collection

Re the Packard raced by Selwyn Craig, I was doing some research on Twin Sixes in NZ and found the article in the Evening Post which mentions what I presume is the same car.

Re: Dunedin Street Races - revival meeting January 1984

These are some quite low resolution scans I did some years ago which seem to be all that this site will accept. I have some more photos to scan but haven't worked out how to modify the ...

Re: Dunedin Street Races - revival meeting January 1984

Somewhere. someone must have a copy of the video taken at this event. I remember they showed it at the after match function. The camera had picked up the spin I performed trying to follow the line taken I had seen taken by the ERA (in a different race) turning left from the main straight on Fryatt ...

Re: Dunedin Street Races - revival meeting January 1984
