Mt Maunganui NOT Baypark

[khyndart in CA]

I remember the 1963 event at the Mount as my father had died suddenly on Dec. 14 th and my brother John, kindly took me along to the racing as it was a tough time at home. 2 weeks later he took me to Pukekohe for the NZGP and I will always be grateful to him for that.
It helped me through and got me hooked even more on motor racing.
I can remember the cloud of dust in the distance from the David Young and Maurie Stanton crash.
Also cheering on our Dennis Marwood from Morrinsville.

p.s. What is the car that Graham McRae was driving in the 1962 event ?

I have added this page from the book by Graham Vercoe.
