Hi Rod
The last time I seen Bryce he was driving a Waste Management truck Graham
Thanks guy's, now that i would love to see a Waste Management truck going sideways.
There certainly was some great looking machinery in the original series. Hopefully we can see some of these cars back on track again in the new series. Who drove the Fristscort car in the photos above ?

This is cheating a bit as it was before 1978. This is my Shellsport Datsun coupe that won 2 NZ Championships for those interested in this period. I sold this car to Rex Findlay afterwards. This is its first time out at Puke. Finished 3rd with standard suspension which we changed for the next round at Baypark.

This is the cars second race which was at Baypark. Pole position, new lap record and won the race.

After Baypark it got its new livery. Eastern Tool Company sponsorship & Shell Oil NZ contract. Raced for the remainder of the year in this guise against firstly Reg Cook in the coupe. Robbie Francevic took over the coupe and Reg changed to the Cherry in an effort to win the championship against my car. We got there in the end but some of the racing was pretty intense! They tried every trick in the book and then some.

For the next season the car was repainted black. This is how many people remember this car. By this time the car was going quick. Nearly 2 seconds faster than Reg Cooks record at Puke when I entered the class.It was a great car to drive, however you had to have your wits about you.
