    Oldfart - Have seen very little of these but I did find a little on Waharoa which has been posted on here, think your Matamata thread but need to check.

    Kerepehi - went there once in February 1967 from memory, had just bought my first car and joined NSCC.
    Remember some pre-war Ford V8 Coupes and Jim Boyd in the Lycoming, which raced past us going home followed by a mate of his with a car and trailer.
    Guess they brought the trailer in case Jim broke down. No photos though.

    Will be a good thread to add any photos, entry lists programmes when found.

    The names [ signatures ] on the certificates .. a G Meekings on the second - name seems familiar - did he do Race, Rally, Trial or Hill Climb.

    Did a couple of HCC events Mercury Trophy Trials and one year an HCC Bardahl Hill Climb, also competed on the TVCC Mercury Trophy Trial at least once - remember a section where we drove across a culvert that was covered in water. !!
    We may have been in a Ford in a Ford !!
