This boy recently, as in nearly 4 years ago, moved across the ditch from NZ to Sydney and now Bellara [ where the ** is that ] on an Island North of Brisbane, near the Sunshine Coast, came from a family of car nuts, my Uncle who at 93 is still around and in good health was a founding member of Northern Sports Car Club and it's first Club Captain, my father was the Auditor for many years in the 1950's. I joined NSCC in 1967 and started off in trials then moved into grass sprints, sealed sprint [ mainly at Pukekohe ] and Hillclimbs from 1970 to about 1980, have done the TACCOC Petit Le Mans in 1983 for the Austin Healey Car Club NZ and was organiser for their Hillclimb at Otaua, near Pukekohe for several years 1987 - 1990 , competed in 1983, hung up the Max Cheshire Helmet [ which I still have MANZ spec 1971 ] in 1984, but prior to that in 1979/80 did the entire Bardahl Hillclimb series in a 1967 Triumph TR4A, since then mainly a spectator but did do a Track Day at Pukekohe in a Mazda MX5 in 2004, which my son still drives [ 1991 model BRG with the Limited Editon bits ]. now living in Bellara I am 40 minutes from Lakeside Raceway, what a predicament, when to go or when to go to the beach, no contest, the cars win.
