Love the Warwick Farm shots Nigel. Can you tell me who that is driving the Escort? I should know who it is and its frustrating me that I can't figure it out!
Sorry Steve but I have no idea at all.
Thanks Nigel, I know its going to haunt me for the rest of the day. Bob Holden, Michael Stillwell, Bill Fanning, and Allan Moffat all raced very quick Escorts during this time, but I don't think that is any of those cars, although a part of me thinks it could be Bob Holden. But I thought his car was red and gold. The Warwick Park round of the 72 ATCC only shows the results of Holden and Stillwell.
Those black and white images just do something very special for me! The colour is just not quite right!
Must buy a scanner!

Shortly after I took this shot I moved down to the hairpin to watch the action [no photos so must have run out of film!]
Anyway, for some reason a cop on a police bike would ride around the circuit between races. He must have fancied himself as a racer as he got faster and faster. He'd come screaming down the straight, do some racing downshifts, around the hairpin and away.
Finally he managed to overcook it, as we all knew he would, and he almost shot off the end of the track. Well you can imagine the roar of the crowd, the catcalls and insults were really flying around.
He never came back!! Wonder why?
Why is it I get such satisfaction hearing stories like that Nigel???
Any more to come from Warwick Farm Nigel? Am really enjoying those. Whose is the McLaren #34 in post #265? Is that Teddy Pilette? The air box from this angle looks like the twin snorkel version that appeared on Frank Gardners T300.
No more Warwick Farm shots Steve. I used to have some slides from Catalina Park in Katoomba but haven't been able to locate them yet.
Yes, I'm pretty sure that No 34 is Teddy Pilette.
Thanks Nigel.
