pretty laid back here in NZ too, here is a picture of the North Island contingent heading down to the South Island rounds of the marlborough series.
Note the fancy 70's tiedowns used.

Not being picky, but '74 Transatlantic, not GP racing, so quite a lot less "pressure". That's an early model TZ750 in the shot, with a noooice example of British motoring with the wagon in the background! Would have been min spec effort, with limited support only for 3 events in one Easter Weekend

Kel Carruthers in the background dowing the tyre or gearing change.

Apart from a couple of runs on a TZ250 in 74 also, Roberts never went GP racing till 78 with a YZR500.

Note the use of period knee sliders...

Roberts scored 2-2-1-1-2-1 over the three-meeting series to be top scorer, but the Poms beat the Yanks 415 to 401 for the weekend.
