Waikaraka Park --- Early Days -- Pictures thanks to June

The Starting grid and a real stretch of my memory banks .On pole appears to be No1 Phil Joyce , grid 2 No 15?
Grid three ?????? , grid four 28 Laurie Hines? .Check the infield speaker system and the standing crowd in front of the main stand? . If you can supply more details of this scene then email me and quote Picture FieldC.

Plenty of action heading into turn one which is still turn one in 2000 .Note the original location of the pits .
Pit crew viewing was from the top of the Waikaraka cemetary wall .

In the year 2000 we have big worries about items from the car and track finishing up in the crowd but back then they had
44 gal drums bouncing all over the show . I can't recall one ever getting into the crowd though .
