Patrick Blakeney-Edwards was a busy driver as he also ran 'Owlet' in the same two driver race. All these chicane pics were Friday practice/qualifying.

Hopefully, I'll get to a couple of NZ race meetings before too long. I never thought I'd need to rely on 2021 Goodwood for six months!
ERC, thanks for the picture, not a car I know of !.
Would like to know whose it is and the Chassis AHS ... number.
Have " borrowed " the photo as you would expect.
Cheers and thanks

(Excuse me Ray)
Roger,
This may be of interest to you.

1955 Healey 100S - DHD 100 - owned by Karsten Le Blanc. Freddie March Memorial Trophy. Last race on the programme Sunday, so I missed it - again. Follow Ken's link above. (Thanks Ken!)
The unique Kieft. Love it that one offs or sole surviving examples of any car are given a blast.

ERC and Ken H,
Thank you both and ERC for the extra photo - now think I have heard - read, of the car, and the driver !. More for the archives !
A thumbs up from Paul. Not for just spotting me, but for recovering from a spin!
First NZ meeting for a while and as always, great to catch up with so many. I left after practice - as usual, Pukekohe not exactly the best place for photographs. The track was very greasy too.

TACCOC Pukekohe May 15th 2022
Four MG's Sunday
Long time ERC Series driver, Dave Mallin, found it a bit slippery.
New ERC driver, John Browne, MG BV8
Gordon Harkness with a repaired front end after a ding last season.
Another long time series competitor, Glen Thompson
For next season, both groups will probably run under the 'Arrow Wheels' banner (still in 2 speed groups), as although the AES naming was carried on after the unfortunate passing of Steve Harris, it was without sponsorship.
Three grids of BMW's - but pics from just the one.
Team Kiwi Racing's corporate presence, complete with one pit garage with tables for guests etc., looked a little incongruous for a low key club meeting. Not sure about the signwriting spelling though...

I'm not really much of a Porsche fan, but there are exceptions and this is one of them.
Some of the Talbot-Lago pics will be useful when I get around to building my 1/24 SMER kit (was Merit) - hopefully with decent wire wheels and tyres, not the plastic ones as supplied.
Two of my all time favourite cars.

That may be resolved as the afore mentioned equipment arrives today
The original Merit

Great model! Presumably the Herb Deeks wheels?
Oldfart's son is investigating 3D printing wire wheels (and Dunlop wheels) but the sizing is crucial.
I think the older cars such as ERA's ran larger diameter wheels in period than they do today. Same applies to Alta's and one or two others.
Yours look 1000% better than the originals.
There was a time when the Holmes Lotus ran 13" wheels, but for originality, has reverted to the correct size.
