Racing on Sunday's in NZ

[Rod Grimwood]

While on this, does any one have a copy of 'wide wheels' August 1969 there is a great article on the 'Problems' of NZ Motorsport in the July 1969 copy with 2nd part in August copy. (I do not have August) Under heading 'Suggested Racing Formulae Bryan Faloon'. Very interesting read and would love to see final part.

When I raised this question I thought it would be a very simple common date fixed by the Government.

Now I realize from Rod Grimwood's post #14 that it was up to local councils, so it varied all over the country.

Using the Tasman Series as example, from Sergent's website I can get the date of each NZ race and using the "what day" site I can ascertain the day of the week. So in summary:

- from 1964 to 1971 all 4 NZ Tasman races were on Saturday
- in 1972, 73 & 74 Teretonga was on Sunday, the other three on Saturday
- in 1975 Levin was on Saturday, the other three on Sunday
- in 1976 all four races were on Sunday

No wonder there was no simple answer......
