Blast from the Past

[khyndart in CA]

For the 1961 Ahuriri races Pat Hoare showed up with his magnificent Ferrari 256 with a 3 litre V-12. # 19




A great shot of a great car in action turning from Coronation Street onto Battery Road.
Spectators got a good close look at the action !

Thanks to Phil Moore for these photos.


Sometimes things did not go as planned as Colin Ngan spins his Cooper Bobtail just in front of another competitor at the tricky corner from Battery Road onto Hyderabad Road toward the start / finish line.

Again note how close the crowd is to the action !
