Unfortunately Speedbox tv won't be doing a live net broadcast this year, a pity as it's the 60th anniversary and the club have put quite a bit of work into celebrating the occasion. Several good old b&w pics from Ye Olden Days on the website,  http://www.cemeterycircuit.co.nz/   :)
Nostalgia's not what it used to be....

It was a great days racing on the road circuit but I'm sorry I haven't got any photos for you. I'm trying to get some and if I do I'll post them up.
 The local (wanganui) boys (some of them race vmx when they can) did very well in the motard races and in F2 with a win in the rain by Ashley Payne. Eno's brother John won all his races in the classic sidecar races.
Alas TMBill didn't make it but I was there and we (work social club) built a covered grandstand and had a scissor lift (that goes up 8m) behind the grandstand. The amount of beer that was consumed by the boys was certainly enough to have any good drinker drunk.
Our grandstand setup was right on Suzuki corner where the track goes over the railway line and yes their were a few tightening of the cheeks moments for some of the riders especially as there are white lines and arrows painted on the road (right on the race line) just as they start tipping into the corner to cross the railway tracks.
If at first you dont succeed, give up and drink beer
