Think New years was a 2 day meet??? Cars came from all over sth island..
I had my 1st roll over at kumara…mid 80’s. I got a push back to the pits by the recovery tractor.
Was a bit hairy with no brakes left…
Also raced there with Westland motor cycleclub. Around the western corner and into the midfield and back out onto the northern straight. Got some old pics of that day.
Surprisingly enough it was raining….
