Historics Race Meeting Pukekohe
Some shots from the Historic Racing Club's weekend's racing, over 400 entries, the biggest event I've been in. Several grids had 40 cars. It is at Taupo next weekend.
26 entries in the Formula 5000 event.
A big field of Formula Juniors, Walter Findlay, car 74, of Gisborne, in his ELVA powered by a 3 cylinder Audi 2-stroke. And Nigel Russell, car 30, from Auckland in his FMZ.
This one below (Leonard May, Christchurch, Cooper T52) did a spinner on the Hill.
And gets towed away while the safety car is out.
Muscle cars are always fun, here Paul Urquhart gets muscled onto the grass.
This is the high-tech lap counting system. As the leading car passes the finish line, another one of the 8 stones is moved to the right. When all the stones have been moved, the chequered flag comes out.
