The Roaring Season

I didn't get to that swapmeet, it's about 6 hours from home and weather dependant sadly, and with the current cost of motion lotion just a bit too far.

sweet, i'm researching the nz race history of the brittens, that list is very inaccurate so no doubt when i;m done we'll fire the right one off to them. that meeting had john britten an mike brosnan entered.

Thank you, where did you get that text as i have the same in printed form, does it mention who etc please?

Hi folks, trying to find out the exact date of the 1993 wings and wheels please, also if anyone has any articles on how it went, my focus is on the Britten Motorcycles that raced there, results and new lap record details.
thanks
Graeme

thats from the 1936 programme, a Velocette. The detail is fantastic, take a look at the laces on the old doc martins he's wearing. I'm heading to Waiheke Island to try and find someone who wants to retail this t shirt, I like the idea of people being able to get a shirt that has something behind ...

I have developed a range of products to sell at swapmeets and race meetings over the last few years. Thes include the book I've written Spydas Guide to New Zealand Motorcycle Road Racing Circuits, Canvas prints of old motorcycle programmes, coffee cups, t shirts and even a board game centred on the ...

I do a lot of Motorcycle Research and along the way have selected a range of artwork to suit T Shirts, Here's our catalogue, we can do one offs and in many colours too, as noted. The single colour print can be in whatever colour you like these days, we have selected some base colours but the world ...

Scott Dixon Acknowledged him on the telly tonight, and the part he paid in his career

What a fantastic documentary, not once did Gary Stirling mention a thing about money, nor even a thing that this was his job, the man is a legend

I have a stack of old programmes, obviously pre 1983 from the UK, but what fascinates me is the one off cars that we have never heard of since. I scanned the entries from every race from prewar Donington onwards and one day I may add Hillclimbs and then maybe NZ programmes. Some of the scans were ...

scored some old 78rpm records just after the chch earthquakes when people were cleaning out surplus stuff, finally got it on the internaughty
one race is six sides of three records,pretty cool in my view

I grew up in Whaganui, vivid memories of watching Hugh Anderson, Jim Redman and Ginger Molloy.. Redman raced at Wanganui but not the Cemetery Circuit, hugh anderson tngled up with a back marker that day and was knocked out in practice, shame as it would have been a treat to see the two battel it ...

christmas day is a travel day to head to the cemetery circuit.....

the meeting is livestreamed too, if anyone wants a link please ask

The circuit is unchanged since 1951 and aside from 4 years over that time has run every year. The spectacle is outstanding, last weekends meeting at manfeild saw one 7 thousand second win and one 3 thousandths of a second, in the rain too. The meeting is in Wanganui on Boxing Day Whose a regular ...
