Mt Maunganui NOT Baypark

[Roger Dowding]

Going through this thread - from " Oldfart's " Inquiry.

These photos from Graeme Kennish archives - Allan Dick had posted them and indicated it was 1964.
From comments here It seems that the track was used in 1962 - 1963.

Jaguar and Zephyr .. Alistair McBeath #66 and Sprague had #51 in 1962



Small Saloon Car field, Austin A40's, a VW, Anglia's, Mini's. - 1962 - [ not as noted on the photo- to be corrected ].



J Murphy in his Anglia #34 - attacking the Haybales. He is entered in 1963 as #34 Anglia with a 1640cc engine



Need to check the details against the Entry Lists from GD66 and Milan Fistonic copied below

December 1962 - the last weekend of the year which became the traditional date for the Big Baypark meeting.



December 1963



I have a couple of Newspaper /Motorman articles which I show as being 1964 .. buy guess published in January 1964 about the December 28th, 1963 Event ??

They finished in the order Grant, Johns, Hogan, Murray Charles and AX. Fahey retired on lap 3.

Thanks Milan, noticed two VW entries in the 1962 event.

C M Hogan - The Ford " Anglia " was a 997cc in 1962 and a 1498cc in 1963 - presume as the Allardette was Supercharged and they put a 1.5 ratio on the cc's of supercharged cars. Was it the same Anglia just with the Allard supercharger kit or a new car ??

Allard under Sidney Allard's son [ Allan Allard ] have made recreations of the Allardette in recent years.
