OK still scanning all my old slides. Shame I didn't buy a decent camera until 1980, but here's a shot of Wanganui cemetery circuit December 1974 in the Marlboro series days. Note how there were no fences or anything keeping the crowd back. Nothing was PC then, you did what you liked. Can't recognise any of the riders from the pic, but back then was when Pat Hennan started doing all the winning beating the likes of Dale Wylie.
