Ross - Some of the numbers don't tie up but it looks like these photos are from this race at Pukekohe on 25th March 1984.

Many thanks Milan - very handy to have that entry list for reference.

Note the different cornering techniques of Roger Dowding from the track to the hill climb in his TR 4 A.
Thanks to Ross and Roger for this " good stuff ". Well done.

Yes it was a great meeting David. I agree about the post racing function - brilliant. I was doing a road trip around the South Is at the time and was taken along with some friends from the Austin Healey Club that were competing. I took lots of photos as I had never seen so many historic cars gathered in one place before. Classic racing was very much in its infancy in the North Is at that time so it was a real treat.

There used to be a Lamborghini Espada that did some racing up here in Auckland in the 80's, but i don't know who owned it

Ross,think the Healey 100 is Neil Ferguson from Waiua, near Timaru, a good mate of the Spillane boys, Des " Spinaway " and his brother.

I'm heading to Manfield to check out the Big Bangers on Sunday..

I grew up in Feilding and practically lived at Manfield with my mates when I was a kid and it first opened. We never paid to get in once haha..

Here's some pictures I took in 2011, I got there late so I had to follow the old school wagging path up the creek and through the trees.. don't tell anybody.

Great photos as always Ross.
