Its always a good day when someone sends me their collection of dusty old motor racing photos. Brett Young has been helping me out supplying me pics for various magazine articles for several years, so I've seen some of what he has, but he and I decided it was time we posted the full collection on The Roaring Season.
Brett, like many amateur enthusiasts, usually didn't have the fancy photographic equipment or media passes to get trackside, so many of his photos are static pit shots. But, ask any historical anorak, and they'll tell you these types of pics are the real gold, as they can often capture that small piece of detail on a car high speed action shots miss.
These photos are taken at several New Zealand race tracks during the late '60s through late '70s. There are also a few here taken by a couple of his buddies. Some are pretty scratchy, but they're all of huge interest, so enjoy, because every time a new photo collection sees the light of day for the first time, its significant for those of us who love motorsport history.
