Steve,
I have programmes /( programs) and photos from some races here in California at Long Beach and Laguna Seca 1975 - 1989.
Is this a suitable forum for them ? Is there any interest in NZ for this era ? Should I plug away at this site or start a whole new thread ?
I await any replies. (Any ones input is appreciated )
Thanks.

(Ken Hyndman )

Ken, I would love them, put them on a new thread and I can add my photos from Laguna Seca and Portland International Raceway in 1982, and I think some more from PIR in 1988, just have to find the latter

cheers, Roger

I found this old VCR tape at a garage sale (4 VCR tapes for a dollar (US) and I do not know if it made to DVD form.(It did )
(DVD version has extra footage of Vern Schuppan at Mosport in Canada )
It is 50 minutes of magic with Derek Bell howling around seven old circuits in a Porsche 956 in 1984
Including the "old" Nurburgring of over 13 miles and South Africa's Kyalami circuit. LeMans is fantastic.
I hope you can get a chance to see / own it. (You might have to get out the old VCR from the attic !)

Trevor Sheffiled was up against the same J Riley [ Lola ] with S Oxton and B Merrett in SP 250's with Trevor.
no results held.

and what about that HWM Continental at 7500cc. .

Organised by the Egmont Classic Car Register for the 50th Anniversary.
I think some pictures appeared in NZ Classic Car or Classic Driver at the time.
My mags from that time got left in NZ.

anyone with photo's please post them.

The Buckler 90 owned by Dallas Crampton did belong to my good friend Garry Price. Garry purchased it off Dewar Thomas. We spent an enjoyable afternoon with Dewar looking at his photograph albums.....that was amazing on his travels in F1 and Indy.

Sadly I believe Dallas has passed away some years ago.

I had planned to run the Alfa GTV 2000 there but mechanical gremlins put a holt to that.
It was an enjoyable day and met many old friends.

Even though I served my apprenticeship as a mechanic in NZ and then went overseas to work with Holden in Sydney, Trojan Works in London, BMW in North America, this Trade Certificate proves that I was not the "sharpest knife in the drawer" at that time. ( As my siblings often remind me !)

(Ken Hyndman..hey, anything over 50 is superfluous !
