    Is anyone going to do Auckland Car Club and Northern Sports car Club?

    I'm still trying to sort dates and find entry details of Pukekohe loop circuit events from 1983!

    RE ; NSCC .. I know they [ NSCC ] have most of the Club Torque Magazines at the Club, but according to Trevor Sheffield, they need to be sorted and scanned. Unsure of other stuff though Video, Cinefilm etc..
    The McLaren Trust have a lot of stuff too !!

    I believe the Wgtn Car club managed to secure some funding for there archive project and outsourced it to a professional company.
    Its is gold and a very important part of our NZ racing heritage.

    Paul B, Yes in the notes on the link, they got funding .. would be nice to think that Lotto, or some Government Agency,Historic trust or so on could help clubs do this - an important part of New Zealand Motoring History .. the McLaren trust do a great job .. I know BMC BOY is helping them from time to time.

    John Mck .. Are those pics in the link, or on the club photo's file ?? Houghton Road Hill Climb !!
    I may be able to download and send to you -need a bit of time.
    I am already behind with the Jim Bennett Furi stuff,
    some Cunningham Cadillacs stuff for a guy in the UK,
    and my own stuff - retirement is so " tiring " !! .. so much to do so little time ..

    5 Feb 1984 - ACC
    25 Mar 1984 - NSCC
    8 Apr 1984 -NSCC
    13 May 1984 - ACC
    23 Sep 1984 - ACC
    25 Nov 1984 - NSCC - Circuit to be used not specified.
