Info re 1982 Ohakea reunion meeting please
As Roger Dowding has mentioned I am currently having my old Bugeye Sprite restored.
I owned it as a student in 1972 for only 11 months, sold it for an MGB and bought it back from Denise Ganley in 1990.
I recently uncovered 4 photos I took of it racing at the 1982 Ohakea Reunion meeting when owned by another owner.
As this is a significant part of its history I am keen to learn who exactly was racing it on the day.
Possibly someone has a Manawatu Car Club program from the event which may mention it?
shot in the dark I know but worth a punt.
Cheers, Brett

The Ganley Young Sprite ..
Phil Ganley - is Phyllis ** actually Philomema Ganley- [ as noted by Faminz - Brett Young ] wife of Dennis Ganley, Howden's brother, and Denise Ganley's Mum. " Phil " competed for Austin Healey Car Club in the February 1983, Husband Dennis was competing for Club Lotus, at the Jaguar Drivers Club Le Mans Relay Race.
On checking my Ohakea pictures - most of my action shots were out of focus as had the speed setting wrong, so maybe amongst these static shots. I have this memory issue I thought it was 1983, but was 1982 as noted in my photo's - a Senior Moment - Duhh!
These are what I have of the Sports Car field :

Only had two rolls of film that day, and with the operator error on the camera, not the best of photos.

Shot seems to have worked, Brett, hopefully more details will surface.
