Kerry Grant

[khyndart in CA]

January 1967 was a tough month for 3 of my boyhood heroes.
First I was sorry that Bruce McLaren was too busy with his team to come out to NZ for the Tasman Series.
2nd was learning that another I admired, Donald Campbell, had died speeding across Coniston Water in Lancashire on Jan. 4th.
Later that week, another of my heroes, Kerry Grant, was badly burnt in an accident at Pukekohe that ended his fine racing career.

I recently found this photo I took of Kerry at Taupo in Taupo, I think with two of his granddaughters. January 2018. Two years before his untimely death.
