    Dunedin the Festival Meetings 1953 - 1965.

    Going through a book in my collection by NZ Classic Driver, a Special Edition from 2012 called "A Dashboard View ".
    It had a collection of articles from the first 10 years of the Magazine ;

    Included was an article on the Dunedin meetings and a small summary entitled " High and Lows " - winners and the bad events crashes and tragedy.
