Since im only young ;D, my memory doesnt go back very far but i do remember a few saloon drivers of years gone by. Maybe someone has pics of:
13A Murray Nutsford - Porsche
67A Mike Morris - Monza
8A Gary Chapman - Cortina
24A Bernie Harding - Datsun/Nissan Cherry
96a Lance Jennings - Airport Motors Monza - This was my favourite car of his. -Spa and Pool Corvette
71A Mark Bellette - Crovette
15A John Scott - Corvette
18A Russell Lockhead -Monza, then the ex Tony Redfern Corvette
34A Lance Humphries - V8 MGBGT -Did he go onto Midgets? 97A?

Stratford not sure the date, certainly mid 60's Saloons didn't start until late 1968 at Waikaraka and Forest Lake, Stratford followed, possibly later in the 68/69 season, so this could be at the earliest 1969. |

You'd be right there, my parents were Salvation Army officers in Hawera then Waitara 68-71 so it'd be 69-71 Attachments:

The little booklet made a bit of a point that the Rover cost $25,000 ! Here's some more, Tony Redfern's Corvette looks a lot different to the Corvettes of today, I reckon it's real cool. Geoff de Cleene took this picture from the 1985 cover of "Speedway Racing"  free image hosting |

Just wanting to know if anyone has any pictures of my dad's car from back in the day.

How many of these machines are possibly still around today and how many people would be interested in forming a club to preserve any that are found along the lines of Golden Oldies with their stockies?
I know of one car sitting in a shed, that being the Pellow Bros Mk2 Escort from Waikaraka but doubt its for sale.
