I have been going through a collection of old photographs of HB Car Club events from the late 1940s - these photos belonged to former HBCC stalwart Bill Hanna, and a sizable selection of these will be shown at the club's 75th anniversary later in the year.Most of these photos were in pretty poor condition, but I have scanned and digitally repaired them all.
I thought members and adherents might like to see a sample of them - just to whet the appetite for November's anniversary!
Motorkhana Round 3 Starts at 9.30 tomorrow. I will be there from 8.30 for entries for those that haven't entered online. I'm taking the BBQ and Sausages n Bread for afterwards. No Autocross so plenty of time to enjoy the event and results in the Clubrooms afterwards.
Bill Hanna competing in his MG at the club's Seafield Road hillclimb in 1948. Note the lack of safety features, including helmet!
A brilliant action shot of member S Gibbons cornering at speed in a HBCC event in his Invicta, dated 1948 - venue unknown.
Good news! We have decided to hold entries open till next Friday, 8 July. We are just completing the paperwork with MSNZ to make this official. So no need to panic prior to the Far North Rally this weekend.Also we are planning on adding a Class E to the National / Club rally - this is for Pre-96 4WD vehicles - this class will only run if we have five or more entries. Once this is confirmed and live in our entry system we will let you know!
