The power poles lining the back straight were involved in the Lawrence/Faloon crash,as was the train parked on the railway lines.
In the late '60s through the mid 70's the Grand Prix was a sell out there was huge crowds at Puke.The police used to set up a giant paddy wagon by the old woolshed behind where the third photo was taken,as the day went on there was some serious bottle throwing and plenty of people got dragged off.I remember Allan Moffat cutting the chicane on top of the hill and next lap around he was greeted with a shower of cans and bottles.
The dunnies behind the hill stand used to overflow about lunchtime and start running down under the hill stand seats.
Ah them was the days...
