Classic Racing from late 70's and 80's
I have been scanning some of my early "classic" type racing photos I shot in the late 70's to mid 80's and thought I would start a new thread for them.
At that time there were far fewer cars prepared purely for racing and it was more of an opportunity for people to take their road cars out for a run on the track. There were quite a few sprint events also where cars ran usually in two's and gave people with no racing experience, a run without the pressure of too many cars around them.
These photos are in no particular order and if anyone else has photos to add, please feel free to post them - the more the merrier. I'm sure we would all love to see them.

Max Fisher, he and son Craig bought a Sprite off me in 1980, the project a left hooker that had been wrecked with unoriginal headlights mounted on the guards and a fuel tank in the boot, not underslung, loose floo panels. EC 4802, rebuilt by Max and Craig and then rebuilt again in the late 1980's by Ross Hollings.
The car is now in Japan [since 1990 ]
Max also provided the car products that I used as pries at the 1990 AHCCNZ Rally at Pukekohe,and you were there in HL 3000
cheers and thanks for the photos.
