This was posted earlier and there has been a reasonable response and a few questions and updates. Anyone from any era can attend but of course, may appeal more to those that were about during that early years.
Linda is extending the registration out to the 31st of May but they really need a good idea of numbers so they can do some budgeting and planning etc. So if you were thinking of attending please drop Linda an email asap. (details below)
We are looking to combine this event with a practice, and in particular gathering up as many of the Vintage Class as we can for a run on that day, so if that could be noted in diaries for confirmation closer to the date as well.
Original post and now confirmed for the 10th of October.

Back in the day, the roar of the engines, the dust in the air, and the camaraderie in the pits, made Paradise Valley Raceway a special place for many of us.
On behalf of Lydia Flintoff and other earlier Club members, we are now seeking expressions of interest for a 𝐑𝐞𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧/𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡-𝐔𝐩 for drivers, members, families, and their children, who were part of the Paradise Valley Raceway scene, during the years of 𝟏𝟗𝟕𝟎 𝐭𝐨 𝟏𝟗𝟖𝟓.
This invitation also extends to those drivers who were registered with other tracks at the time, but who regularly travelled to compete at Paradise Valley Raceway.
The aim is simple — to get together once again, share a few stories, remember the good times, and reconnect with old friends from those memorable racing days.
We hope many of you can join us, to 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐑𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥.
The date currently considered is:
𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟎 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 (Confirmed)
The proposed programme would be:
• 𝟑.𝟎𝟎𝐩𝐦 𝐨𝐧𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 – Afternoon tea and time to catch up
• 𝟔:𝟎𝟎𝐩𝐦 – Evening meal together (possibly Hangi)
• 𝟕:𝟑𝟎𝐩𝐦 𝐨𝐧𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 – Live band and an evening of music, stories, and reminiscing
The registration cost, to cover catering and entertainment, will be confirmed once numbers are known.
As contact details for everyone from those years isn’t available, we would greatly appreciate this invitation being 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐂𝐚𝐫 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟏𝟗𝟕𝟎–𝟏𝟗𝟖𝟓 𝐞𝐫𝐚 — drivers, members, officials, pit crews, and families/children of.
To assist with planning, an indication of interest, or confirmation of numbers attending would be appreciated please, by: 𝟑𝟎 𝐀𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐋 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔
