Does anyone have a copy I could buy?

Thanks for the program and results Milan.
The little 12oo's couldn't match it with the 1600's on Pukekohe's long straights.
Things were much more even on the tighter SI tracks like Ruapuna &...

I competed in the 1973/74 SI series in an amazingly quick Datsun 1200.

A very sad loss to the world of motorsport, especially downunder.
A great driver and ambassador for the sport.
My first memories of Chris were his appearance at the April 2, 1960 meeting in Levin....

In some places it is hard to tell the where the track ends and the "rough" begins.

A fantastic drive!
Shame the photography isn't as good as the driving.

Having been brought up in Levin in the heady days of the Levin Motor Racing Circuit, I have many recollections of things and people automotive.

I remember Bryan mostly as the driver of a Ford 105E...

Hi
I have just discovered "The Roaring Season".
What a great forum for memories.

I have been involved in motorsport all my life, right back to helping my dad (Vic Hudson) at Levin Motor Racing...

I have only just discovered The Roaring Season web site and forums.
