    Moving on now to the famous Kerrs Road in Wiri, South Auckland, which was probably the most thriving of all the street based strips. I've already posted a few pics from Kerrs Road at random, earlier in this thread. Here are some more.

    Owen Campbell in the Jimmy 6 powered car that used to sport the Willys body. Note high-tech ear protection for the officials!

    Couple of early speedway Sprintcars (or Modifieds?), trying out a little drag racing. Note they're still wearing their smaller left-side wheels. Must be a wild ride trying to run them straight down the strip.

    McConnachie brothers rail. I assume these are the same McConnachie brothers who raced a '69 Mustang in speedway in the '70s?
