Jan 7 1967. NZGP. Pukekohe.
I remember piling into a Mini and heading to Pukekohe with some friends. My sister said we looked like a bunch of monkeys as we sped past her and her policeman husband ! (Whoops !) Anyway we spent most of the day on the infield and remember enjoying the battle for the lead between Jackie Stewart in his BRM P261 and Jim Clark in his Lotus 33. Clark's Lotus came around on the last laps with the nose missing from a collision with a slower car. Good memories. I got in close at the prize giving ceremony with my "Brownie" camera and even though the quality is no good it does show Jackie Stewart with short hair and the winner's trophy and also a casual Jim Clark.
