I remember being here at Ardmore with friends and cousins and cheering on anyone from the Morrinsville / Hamilton area that was racing that day. We certainly had plenty to cheer on even though we eventually got soaked in the rain.
From the local BMC dealer, Neil Johns in his 848 cc Mini, Dennis Marwood in his Humber 80, Ross Greenville in his Lotus 18, Spinner Black had a Mistral TR 2, Kris Kay in a Ford 10 Special and Brian Innes with his Ford Zephyr.
Morrinsville was well represented that day in January 1962 and we were noisy little brats letting everyone know around us know that, as we watched from in front of the Tatts Stand at the final corner before the finish line.
