Dunedin Street Races - revival meeting January 1984

[Roger Dowding]

Austin Healey - Des Spillane from Timaru not Chris White from Wanganui -

Chris White ; Healeys owned and raced by Chris, there were many. A Sprite, a 100, a 3000 at Hamilton and in 2000'/10's he ran a Jensen Healey - believe he still does.

Neil Ferguson Blue Healey, from Waiau ,
I have been in and drove Des's Healey 100, with Des at an AHCCNZ National Rally.



Neil's car in the pit area


Des Neil and others around a Morgan and Des Spillane's *** Healey;

The red Morgan was raced by Peter Gendall and was a Ford powered Morgan 4/4 initially with a 1500 cc Ford OHV motor, it later gained a Twincam ford engine - Registration FX6426.
[ added Feb 2023 ]



[Chris raced a Healey 3000 at the Telecom Motorfest in 1994 - seen on that thread, his first Healey was a Bugeye Sprite in the late 1970's]

The venue, don't you love the safety features Haybales around pole, road cones to show a side street is closed off and how close you could get to the track.

Next up is Saloons Minis Jaguars and A40 and a Pontiac amongst others

*** Correction to my comments above : " Spinaway " contacted to advise I had the names wrong for the Healey's.. The White 100 is not Chris White's but belongs to Des Spillane, who I thought had the Blue one.. The Blue 100 is Neal Ferguson's from Waiau, South Island.. will correct on the Healey Post as well

The Morgan is a well known car, as I have found out from Graham Kyle, a Morgan racer at the time ;
" The Morgan 4 / 4 was Peter Gendall, he drove Ron Roycrofts Bugatti Jaguar in a 50's Ardmore New Zealand Grand Prix. "
The car was quite modified over its life - more to follow

what year were these as it seems this circuit ran two different directions?
