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
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.

Amazing to see all those really neat cars that hardly see the light of day any more.
Great photos as always Ross.
