The Roaring Season

Yes 'Rogered' from the very top on down. And they probably enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere as well.

Yep, you're right there. I think the more professional teams sometimes stretched to popping up a tent.

i must admit to shake my head a little, when the current group of "superstars" want (or need) all these million dollar facilities when true greats are happy to park on the grass.

Not an Aussie driver but Gentleman Jim did give a very good drifting exhibition in the rain at Pukekohe in the Norris Miles owned ex Goss HO once. Sorry no pics though.

Thanks Mike, I'd forgotten he'd raced at Pukekohe as well. Here it is at Bay Park.

I've had a request for all you Roaring Season members. An Australian GTHO enthusiast is wanting information and photos of any Australian drivers who raced GTHO Falcons in New Zealand. I know Allan Moffat ran his Phase III at Wigram in a Castrol GTX race in early 1973, and Pete Geoghegan raced his Super Falcon Improved Tourer at Bay Park in late 1972. Can anyone post photos of these cars? Do they have more info to share?

Were there any other Aussies who raced their GTHOs in NZ?
