The Tri Series are, as the name suggests, a series of 3 meeting held over the Christmas period. Round 2 is perhaps the most famous being the Cemetry Circuit races that are held on Boxing Day in Wanganui NZ.
The atmosphere at these events is fantastic. Not just from the hard racing that goes on but from the camaraderie that is often missing from other major motorsport events.
As normal there are more than a few international visitors entered and an array of machinery from 1950s onwards.

7. Andy Scrivener & Steve Bryan and a 900cc BMW - As well as balancing the sidecar the swinger (Kiwi speak for a passenger) has to make sure they don't block the air in take on the flat twin engine!
