Loved every minute of it, Great A40. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for post.
That was just wonderful, cars sliding so you can sense what's happening, and people racing for fun. How did a twin 700cc bmw keep up?
Nice seeing row an Atkinson having a go, pity it's not a mini.

It must be one of the few bimmers made without some sort of split grille. It certainlt went well in that race.

I am old enough to remember allcomers saloon car racing at Pukekohe, lots of variety in a field is great for spectators, but most circuits with a longish straight will see horsepower win.

Brings back of Kerry Grant at Levin in his first A 40. Amazing wee cars for sure.

So much great racing at Levin, from some quite unlikely car's too.
It's great to see a handful of the little Honda S600 and S800's being restored now, and who could ever forget the Minis against the V8s. I sincerely hope the current fad of one chassis/engine dies and we get back to allowing the ingenuity and expertise of drivers/engineers back to the fore by allowing basically 'anything goes'.
Good to see OSCA surviving down south.
