First of all I need to thank my son for posting these. It is something I had considered doing but it was always one of "round tuits" that most of older fellows have. There are a couple of comments I need to make:
The smoke alluded to in the post of the Castrol GTX Saloons was cement dust - someone had an oil spill on the back straight.
The XU1 crash was a doctor from Palmerston North whose name eludes me at the moment. He broke his arm in the crash. At another meeting a Formula Pacific crashed in about the same place. I don't remember any of the detail and the picture I took didn't come out too well. It's nice to know that others are enjoying what I took 30 mumble years ago. That's enough from me for now. Barrie
