Great pics, but is it just me or are they quite pixelated? I'm having trouble seeing them, feels like I'm drunk!

seaqnmac, if you email me some nice clean copies of the pics you've already posted above, I'll be able to go back and replace those above so we don't have to disrupt the thread.

Hi all sorry about the delay but alot of things have been happening all at once, most of which you do not need to hear about. But some of it including buying a house of the current owner of one of the Nissan Bluebirds George Fury raced in the early 80's. anyway 1974, hopefully these do not need touching up.

Great work Sean, these are really cool. Thanks to Kevin for sharing these. Interesting to see a colour photo of the ex-Red Dawson Camaro in post #32, when it was owned by Don Peddie and Allan Dick, and driven by Kevin Haig, with Zephyr Heaters sponsorship. I believe Ken Smith raced this car once for Peddie/Dick also???

Ok so 1978, there are some lost cars and other very interesting visitors here. The greats, this is noteable after last weekends win for Nico Rosberg. 1978 visitors to Teretonga including Keke, Bobby Rahal, Danny Sullivan, Larry Perkins and future touring car great Pierre Dieudonne standing at the back of the Ehrlich. I will stand to be corrected with this, but Dieudonne was, like Paul Frere a Belgian journalist as well a driver.

Post #50 shows a young Mark Scott (and I think Ron McMillan) changing engines with the help of a large piece of wood.

Mark was Chief Mechanic for James Hunt in his Championship winning year and went on to build the Ridley and Scott Le Mans cars.

11/05/12 Would you believe Riley and Scott Le Mans cars. Got my film directors mixed up!

Did this car have ground-effects? The wide nose and side pods have that look about them.

Believe they were among first to use to some extent steve. This or sister car ended up with Kenny i think.

Mark Scott was a bloody nice guy, wondered were he went.

Thanks guys for sharing photos fantastic.
