NSCC Events 1956 to 1967 - Events which featured the Lycoming Special.
The Ralph Watson built Lycoming Special, competed in many events, driven by Ralph Watson initially then Bob Gibbons, Malcolm Gill, Forest Carden and Jim Boyd.
Many events were run by NSCC and are included in the archives of Ralph Watson about the Lycoming.
This is from the 1984 edition of the Magazine Sports Car Talk - Special Edition - from Ralph Watson notes.
As mentioned the information also appears in the Book by Trevor Sheffield, Ralphs great mate who looked after Ralphs affairs after he passed away [ Trevor passed away last year aged 95 ].
1956 - 59 with Ralph Watson
1959 - 64 - with Bob Gibbons, Malcolm Gill, Forest Carden to Jim Boyd.

1965 - 67 - on with Jim Boyd.

1967 - 68 Jim Boyd

The details will help with the timeline of events especially when NSCC changed Hill Climb venues, as already listed in this thread [ the NSCC story ].
NCC event at Pupi Pupi Whangarei [ a typo - reading from handwritten notes no doubt ], on 15/10/1966, would have been Puhipuhi Road, South of Whangarei near the main highway to Auckland at Whakapara.
