Dunedin Street Races - revival meeting January 1984

[Roger Dowding]

This was a two day event.
Saturday, with straight sprints in the Port Area by the storage warehouses, and the local car clubs, not just the Classic Historics were allowed to run.
Sunday, the Classic Historic races.
My set of photos I will break into, types, NZ Specials and Open Wheelers, Sports Car saloon, and there is even a couple of Motorcycle shots.
Unfortunately have lost or given away the programme, probably the latter, so again any help identifying the cars would be appreciated.
Reshowing the photos from the Otago Daily Times to start with - posted on Yards and Yarns and Minis and Imps threads.
The Allard J2.

thanks for identifying it as Rob Boult's.


The Minis and Jaguars, plus something large in the back of the pack..

The ERA, and a single seater..



The Lycoming Special, built by Ralph Watson - powered by, yes I remembered a Lycoming Engine - turned upside down. Trevor Sheffield's article " Ralph Watson - Special Engineer " can tell you much more.



And the book that was on sale at the time about the original races; Racing Around the Houses, by Scott Thomson, 1983.

Have found a series of Photos from the 1982 event, which I went to as support for a couple of Healey Drivers Frank Karl and Chris White, think Cameron Mackay may also have run there. a pic to follow ;
