Santa Barbara to Matamata Barbara.
Good stuff Ken H,
News of the Motoring Moment here is that " Pukekohe Race Track " will close for Car racing in April 2023, as the Horse racing fraternity need it for their own use.
A Sad day for New Zealand Motorsport - not the greatest Track but all we had in the North of the North Island in 1963.
Off to your part of NZ tomorrow - Matamata and environs, Te Poi,. [ " Oldfart " has lived there too !! ].
This should be familiar ... maybe someone can recognise the heads in the picture - now much older and grey-er or balder !! ..

A John Larry Lawton photo- before he cropped it.
Forty years ago this Young Fella was arriving in L A California for the first time, and went to Santa Barbara and other places near to you.
Keep up the West Coast posts, lots of stuff I never knew about.

Monterey 2022 - ... the offer !!
Ken H, thanks for the offer..
" If any of you want a particular group photographed let me know and I will see what I can achieve. "
the 1955-66 SCCA cars and the 1923 - 1955 Le mans cars - but really any photos will be good,
- you lucky Fella !!.
40 years ago was the only time I went to Laguna Seca.** the Ninth running of the event.
Some photos I took have never been seen as sent the negatives back to New Zealand to my Cousin, and they are now missing..
Cheers
from very cold New Zealand, [ 2 degrees c this morning in Omokoroa, Matamata and surrounds were zero... brrrrrr ...
