When I was supplying photographs for the Auckland car Club Bulletin in the 70's I attended lots of these events and there was always plenty of action.
So I thought I would post a few on here to bring back a few memories.

Yep it was the old Waikaraka car and it is Rod, remember we talked about and decided to see what it was like, and it was a handful.
#11 Rod also in buggy with F6 on screen, on the limit as not much more room to bank, he has come out of right hander and locked it all the way to there.
