Yes ,went to Bailey in Tauranga from Coppins ,he crashed it at the back to front Pukekohe Meeting up by Railway into a pole from memory ,remember the circuit was being run in reverse so it might have been under braking ,David Mc may remember
I remember once in that era I went down to Tauranga to compete at a sprint which was being held on one of the straights of the old street circuit ,the start was just up by the Lumber Company,you had to come out the gate and then back up to the start ,he managed a real comic book start by dumping the clutch with quite a few revs on reverse by mistake it certainly,scattered the crowd
