Looking for something in my library today and I came across the book by Allan Batt which I don't think has been mentioned in this thread before. Anyway something to look out for in the 2nd hand bookshops. "Stock Car Racing, A Pictorial History of Stock Car racing in Canterbury The First 21 Years 1954 to 1975". A couple of other books he did included The Dusty Trail (1936-1975) Midget Car Racing in Christchurch; Aranui A Speedway legacy and the Speedway Kings of Kilbirnie.
