First race meeting would have to be a toss up between the 1st Grasstrack meeting of the Malborough Car Club and the Nelson Car Club New Year Beach Race meeting back about 1955 or 56 when I was in Standard 3 or 4.
Add in the Hawkesbury Motor Cycle races about the same time too.
First 100% sealed circuit meeting would be the 1959 Dunedin Road Race Meeting and 1st year of high school.
Mike's Mark2 Escort was a RS2000 and I think that car became the "donor car" for Bob Holmwoods Sports Sedan Escort?
