Sometimes an old slide shows up and this one reminded me of being at Oran Park, June 28 1970 and not having much luck with my camera. After the racing was done I managed to take a couple of photos before heading home. I found this buried in a closet at home recently and had it developed yesterday.
There in the background is the trailer for the late Glyn Scott who was to die tragically just a few weeks later.
The car in the photo was driven by Ken Goodwin and here is a brief description from oldracingcars.com
