GB, I guess I'll have to dig up the 2007 coverage somewhere. The big incident I remember at Pukekohe from when the V8s used to run there, was that mess in 2005. It had just started raining, and all hell broke loose coming off the final corner and heading down into Turn 1.

Concrete Barriers don't seem to be the answer
2005, Bairdo got turned around on the front Straight and took out the Fence in the inside just past the Start Finish Line.
Didn't Morris take the Hill on his lid one year as well.
When you have a big one at Pukekohe its one to remember.
Couple of Formula Fords in 1991
Various Pacifics/Atlantics off the Start line in the 1980s, Steve Millen, Dave Saunders, McMillian, Steve Cameron/Brett Riley (Same Accident)
So most parts of the Track have seen plenty of Action
Sorry getting off Topic. Spent to many years watching racing there
I still want to see the Loop used again if Possible, but guess that would need a complete re-seal first.
