[Rod Grimwood]

Found these in a Auckland Car Club magazine November 1988, not sure of some but some one will know.

1st looks like it is a Rotary powered sports, and someone is after him. Then Datsuns and Commodore is I think Torkler.

This was a National meeting.

[Paul Wilkinson]

The first one looks to be my father in his rotary Chevron...

[Rod Grimwood]

More from meeting.

Pullman in Falcon GT Coupe, followed by Vern Muller.

I know the Escort which is followed by RX3 of Murray Higgins, obscured Commodore, and Commodore Torkler

Dave Smythe in his quick little Escort a nice car this and he still has it parked.

Bob Cullinane in his RX7

And Barry Algie in his Monaro followed by Bruce Manon in his real quick turbo Escort.

[Rod Grimwood]

And the Minis, Burton and Heron at it again.

Don't know the other mini

[Rod Grimwood]

Believe this is the man who now plays with the Alfetta and a Cologne Capri in between other cars. He was quick in this Porsche championship and won it.

Gordon Burr
