Super Stock Pit Action | Waikaraka Park 2022

[@carltwidle9046]

I remember the Waikaraka Park Stockcar pit stop being on the right hand side of the grandstand, back in the late 1960s when I first started going there. And the stockcars with different bodyshells. The production saloons cars were Vauxhalls, Ford Zephyrs, and some FJ Holdens.

Correct. Sounds like the story's my dad has told me about its history over the years

@@c-westsgaragenz I visited the track from 1967 through to 1975. I kept the programs that would have the nights racing in them plus photos of the cars. I don't know what happened to them. I also remember a rollie pollie car that would come out between races and the driver would try to roll the car. It was entertaining. I went to the first demolition derby held in New Zealand at the track in 1974 I think?. A driver entered a 1970s Jaguar XJ6 into it. The car got demolished.
