Rod, my man, congratulations on this lead. Who dont you know?
How is Randall these days? One of the last times I saw him, he had just rebuilt the motor for my Fiat 500 in his folks garage.......
Randell is working on bigger engines at moment. Think he still has a wokshop in Wairau Rd (been there for years)
Some more stunning Bill Pottinger photos of the Monaro at Wigram in 1970. I've also posted these on Bill's thread. Love the 'Beware Dog' decal on the door!

I have a few photos of that car taken about 2004 at a car show in Hawera. Still has the same plate and from memory the guy that owned it lived in the Wellington area. He knew its history but I don't know if who he stated that had raced was true.....Will talk to Garry when he returns from his holiday and confirm it with him. Ran a 350 LT1 and 12 bolt. Cheers

Same car? This is B & H 3 hour from 1971. The driver could be the late Tom Russell from Wellington although if some one has a program or results from that meeting the may like to confirm this for me.
Sorry for some reason I can't post the photo.
Steve if you have time could you post it from my CD.
Here is a pic of the HT Monaro John was talking about that supposedly exited the track after spinning off at the hairpin, and drove back through the main gate. It's very hard to make out but it looks like it could be number 62.
