    Post #10 - from 26th October 2015 at the early part of the Dunedin Story of the 1984, I made the above comment.

    Recently posted on Facebook by Warner Collins is a video of the 1984 Event which includes the Bethunes Gully Hill Climb on the Saturday and the Races in Dunedin Central on the Sunday.

    Can't get the link across, but do look for it.

    Mark D who ran the HUGE Pontiac Bonneville 4 door Saloon /Sedan at both events features and sent me the details.
    Mark is restoring the Bonneville at the moment and it has been to events recently - photos on this thread have been posted

    Think the 1984 Video has been posted on South Island Motorsports page by Adrian Robertson too !!

    Remember standing at some of the corners taking photos on the Race Day - Sunday as well as the Sprints in Fryatt Street on the Saturday.
