Blast from the Past

[khyndart in CA]

I wrote this over 4 years ago and as I looked up some 1967 Can Am information tonight I was reminded again of what a wonderful era it was around Morrinsville in the 1960s. An amazing group from that area in the Waikato.
" I had the wonderful experience of growing up in the Morrinsville area at Kiwitahi at a time when so many had connections to motor racing.e.g. Spencer (Spinner ) Black went to Kiwitahi school with my sister, Bryan Innes's family brought property from my grandfather, Dennis Marwood married the sister of a neighboring farmer, a relative owned the Motordrome Service Station in Te Rapa, Terry Marshall was at Morrinsville College when I was there as was Malcom Gill as a teacher, John Paton (Paton & Black ) engines was a friend, Ross Greenville had a really sweet niece, plus Terry Scott, Ross Douglas, etc. etc. ( We were like a big family )".
What reminded me was seeing this Sept. 1967 "Road America" Can-Am entry list and at entry # 79 was Ross Greenville from Morrinsville, New Zealand in his Lola T 70.

(This was a pretty impressive field. )
