I was born on the road between Turakina & Wanganui, March'66

I went to the first meeting at The Ocean View Track,at what i thought was around 1971 !
What a hell off a way to end a weekend, parked n a snail trail trek down from the Wanganui Airport, bumper to bumper, for what seemed liked hours.
Was there the evening Mr Robertson rolled that darned Tank out the pit shute, standing on the make shift bridge over the pit shute.......how that never caved in still has me thinking, even way back then.

And as they say....the rest is History !

Cheers Bazza
