Wanted: 1975 NZ MotorAction Race Reviews

Post by Steve Holmes »

Hey folks, does anyone have copies of the various September and October issues of NZ MotorAction mags from which they could scan the Ruapuna and Levin rounds of the 1975 NZ Winter Production Endurance Series for me? I was sure I had copies for all the 5 rounds of this series, but can't find the issues that cover these 2 races.

If you can help, please email me at: mailto:?subject=&body=

Many thanks

Oh by the way, the Levin race was held on October 5, 1975. Typically, I have the Oct 3, and Oct 31 MotorAction issues, so the Levin review would have been in the one in between, this being a fortnightly mag.

Hi Steve, Unfortunately I need to purchase a new scanner. However, I'm pretty sure I have these as duplicates to my set.

Hey Russ, could you possibly take a look at your September issues and confirm that there actually was a race at Ruapuna please? An early 1975 issue listed the dates for each round, but didn't confirm the Ruapuna round, and hadn't given an exact date, leading me to wonder if the race actually took place. Many thanks.

Give me the issue numbers Steve and I'll send them to you if I have them as duplicates.

Will check the other details in the morning.
