On this very Wet day in Omokoroa, BoP, was going back over this thread and the list that Ken H posted.
- A very long list and I thought that the " Car Clubs " or " Groups " running the events need to be known.

Had gathered a lot of information on the events run by Northern Sports Car Club on the NSCC The Early Years story.
Starting with Taylors Bay, Hillsborough in 1945 to the permanent venue [ well it was for over 20 years ] of Cosseys Farm, Drury in March 1967 until the late 1980's.
An image from Taylors Bay - that day - 20th May 1945.
Have had the copy of this photo since the mid 1970's - given to me by the late Eddie Dowding [ 1919 - 2018 ] and it appears with half a dozen others from the event in the Arthur Siddall Album of NSCC events from 1942 to 1949, which I am in the process of restoring - and recovering to protect the images. Then the images will be scanned and put on the NSCC thread - they will be better [ larger versions ] of photos published in groups previously.
Taylors Bay - showing the Manukau Harbour behind and many of the club in Graeme Wells Bentley.
My photo had
Graham Wells - as written by my Uncle, but Anthony Wells, Graeme's son corrected that.
Ron Roycroft got FTD that day in his Riley 9 at 43 and one fifth seconds
Graeme Wells was 2nd at 44 seconds
and
Vern Clark in his MG PA third at 50 seconds.
NSCC Cosseys Farm in 1967 - a well known car that is still with the then owner - Rob Williams 1939 Ford V8 Coupe.
Photo was part of the page in the Newspaper on the First Event at Cosseys in March 1967
