This looks like Bay Park- and that looks like Amber Electrical on the side of the black car.
Is this you George, can you tell us about this race?
Nice video limezed. I loved watching those cars and recall that meeting to. Pleased you had a video of it. I thank all those that take/took pics/videos of events as people like me who are not camera types appreciate these.
Thats what I thought Crunch- maybe its Fenuwapie 1984 that stubuchanan mentioned earlier
Yes it is
A couple of images of the car in question

It looks so tantalizingly close to running in these pix.
My understanding is that there will be as little panel and paint as needs to be done to make it look reasonably presentable.
Mike- just realized that in #330, with the list of drivers on the door we are missing-
Terry Scott.
Jim Palmer.
Both drove it twice during 1969.
Door should be deep enough to get these names there.
We need to pass that info on to Tony Boyden - maybe he wasn't aware of it.
John, is it this Shane Johnson and Mustang? Has the car been changed from CMC spec?

What's the history of the Victor? I've never seen it before, but always remember Kent Greenwood in his blue Victor at some classic meetings and on Targa there for a few years. What ever happened to Kent and the car? Car didn't look much but went bloody fast!!
Shane Johnsons Mustang only just qualifies as an Invited Allcomer- it is Udys ex Targa winning car, history to 90s and is stock bodied, unchanged mechanically.If a CMC car is within these limits they can run. Cam Crawfords orange XA Coupe also, same with Paul Urquarts Moffat XA Coupe replica.
The Victor- ex Jack Nazers Miss Victorious. 3 times NZ Champ. Built by the Stone Bros. Jack told he that this was his first real racing car
John, is Nigel running in the Historic Sports Sedans?
Steve- Melissa received the entries and just sent me the list
Regards Jacks statement,- Then what was the Lotus Anglia & Cortina and Cossack Escort, wish I could train in them until a 'real racing car' came along.
The Jack Nazer Cossack Victor was a very famous NZ allcomers car and it is magic that it still exists in basically the same form as it finished its first life. It will be a great day when this car hits the track again. Craig said that he was making progress with the car so it is has not been pushed into a corner and forgotten. I think that the engine either has been overhauled or is in progress.
Loved Jack's Cossack FVA Escort - a great little car that still exists too. Is based in the lower South Island

Dont the flares look so diminuitive now in comparison to what we have been seeing in the last 10 or so years.
Steve- Melissa received the entries and just sent me the list
Nigel MacDonald – 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback 5700cc
Is this for real or a typo

This would be one of the earliest pics of the car-December 1979.
Ian standing at drivers door, Barry on the ground and Dave at passenger A pillar.
All this at the family home on a hot summers day.
Attachment 24269.
This is the cars first run at Puke-October 1984.
Looking at it, it could just be a test day, dont see any other cars, activity or flaggies.
Nowadays I dont think you would even be allowed here..
As its an early pic, it has the simple flares at the back.
Wow John, wonderful photos!!! Do you know the dates?
The rear flares are not the box style like every other picture I've ever seen on the car, so I guess this was the way the car was originally built, and the box flares were fitted later. Was the radiator in the back originally or only after the box flares were fitted?
JAFA- have now updated these pics with details , months and years.
Will check about radiator.
Next pair of pics will be the Alfetta from Dec 1979, same location at the family home.
Thanks John. Looking forward to the next instalment :)

December 1979- same roll of film as the Monaro.
Looking very close.
Attachment 24271
No tennis balls in injectors.
Neville-other brother-in car with family cat.
No sign of a cage.
Big day out- going for a run at Puke- yay!!!!!!!!!
April 1980.
Period correct first appearance pic for the rivet counters.
Great photos John......I am not counting the rivets today. Cheers
Bruce- isnt it neat when someone- usually the Dad- can find time to capture the moment.
I am sure the boys had more important things to do than take these.
This is also an invitation to anyone else to dig out any pics sitting around as the bonus is that in the 70s colour arrived.
