The Roaring Season

Quote: 1974 at the NZIGP meeting.

The 1974 NZIGP was held at Wigram.

The Pukekohe event was called the Peter Stuyvesant $100,000 Championship Air New Zealand International Race.

Here from Levin 1960 - not sure who - not Simon Taylor [ in my opinion ] as he didn't seem to protect his car at events [ATTACH=CONFIG]76905[/ATTACH] Probably this race from the November 1960 meeting at Levin. I can see Zephyr 41, Singer 34, Simca Aronde 7, Jaguar 45 (Simon Taylor), Mini 67, Morris ...

The number on the Jaguar is 50. It's John Ward's car from 1963.

Quote Jamie Aislabie Cooper - Jaguar [ Bobtail ],

The Cooper Jaguar is not a Bobtail, it's a front-engined sports car and it was driven by Jamie's brother Brian.

Another one from 2019 showing some of the cars it was racing against.

I took this photo of the car at Goodwood in 2019.

I have been having a look at the fastest lap times, it makes interesting reading. eg Johnnie Windelburn's time in the Sports Car race would have been fastest of all in the Championship race by1.8 seconds. For the entire race he would have been on the podium based on overall time. Seems a bit odd to ...

In the 1964 Matamata programme Pat McLoughlin's Healey is entered as 4000cc.

The Saloon Races at the 1964 Waimate meeting were run as two heats and a final. Heat 1 was the Waimate Publicans event for cars up to and including 2000cc while Heat 2 was the D.R. Filter race for cars 2001cc and over. The first photo in post no 385 is the start of Heat 2. Ian Dow was the winner of ...

Strangely neither Ken or Morrie are listed in any of the races in the programme But in this case they were included in the list of entrants at the meeting published in the programme.

My thoughts on the photo posted by Ken H Ken Smith. Lota 1964..jpg The way the cars are lined up looks like the Dummy Grid at Levin. In the list of entrants at the January 1964 Levin meeting Ken Smith is listed as driving the Lola number 20. His father Morrie is also listed as driving the car with ...
