Dunedin Street Races - revival meeting January 1984

[Psopho]

Looking for more on the Waimate events 1959 - 1966.

I'm missing the 1959 programme but have the others plus the two books, 'The Waimate 50: An Era Past' and 'The racing years 1959-1966 - The history of the Waimate 50', if there's any particular information you're looking for.

Nic - I have this book ;
" Waimate - The racing years 1959-1966 - The history of the Waimate 50 "
My copy came from Bruce Dyer, many years ago.

Mainly looking for " Entry Lists " and Individual " Race Results ".
