"Racing for New Zealand" that brings back some memories. It reminds me that while we think back to the late 60s as the pinnacle of New Zealand's representation in the sport internationally with "trio at the top" but what a wonderful spread of Kiwis we now have competing globally at the moment - Indy, Le Mans, WRC, GP2, GP3, Porsche, V8s etc etc. Despite much of the doom and gloom about motorsport domestically these are good times on the world stage!
that was such a great series.I worked with Doug sheirson racing & tom Gloy in the USA.3 rivers at canada always had F1 drivers do it.at Macau worked for ther flying tigers team,it is a shame it went away
A few shots from the 78-79 International series
Great photos Ross, thanks again for the time and sharing this history.
A couple of photos my brother took at Manfeild. 1982ish maybe??? The Just Juice Series?? I think this meeting may have been my introduction to circuit racing. If not then it was one of the very early ones. For some reason I remember #14 Pye - Riley, #? Pan Am/Citizen - McMillan, #7 Tullen - Millen, #8 AFX Aurora - Moreno & #18 NEC - Oxton. Was young at the time so may be confused about dates.

Barry Thomlinson. The man behind the TRS series nowdays whom I jokingly refer to as Barry Eccelstone
Manfeild 1988
Richard Lester's RT4 and probably Rob Lester's Ford? Might even be the Bruce Turnbull designed Tull
Really loving all these pics guys, keep them coming!
I always thought Barry Thomlinson's cars looked fantastic, especially the one pictured above.
Does anyone have any photos or info on the 2 cars brought out from the USA around 1984, ran in New Zealand Line shipping colours?
Was the first memory I have as a kid going to a Motorsport meeting at Manfeild
Live it, love it, rally it
I think you will find that it was sister Debbie driving the Ford.
I have no excuses for the length of the mens shorts in the following photos!
Wow - thank you so much for posting BMCBOY - fantastic shots
