J42E48, I think Ross Burtenshaw is in charge of the Charger club. Lives around Timaru way.

A pity Pall Mall is no longer with us as he may have known who this shot was of. Taken at Waikaraka Park one xmas when I was about 10yrs old with my first camera.

Great to hear it still lives. Be interesting to find out which one it is. From my own register I have a missing space for a hemi orange with tan E49, body number 1153.

Ooh s..t ! Does he ? I might have to get my sister to chase that up and see what else he has in the sheds too. My brother in Law was his mechanic for many years right up to but not including this one. Interesting. Hmmmm!!!

Falcon coupe No 25 is Richard Bennett from Hamilton. Rowan Geck still has his No 21 Falcon in one of his farm sheds.

The saloons at least looked like saloons. Falcon Coupe really looks the part., a real car, not a profile.

Wow, these are just fantastic! I LOVE old speedway photos. And some of the tow vehicles in those shots are as interesting as the race cars. Note the chopped down Transit van in the one shot, then the XA Falcon hardtop in the next. Very cool!

And I really miss those old speedway saloon from the 70s, when they had the big tall injector trumpets shooting up out of the hoods.

Wow small world. I used to crew for Gary Parker at Waikaraka when he started with the Stockcars and finished with it about 2 seasons after he bought Merv Julians T Bucket Modified. I got sick of constantly doing fabrication work on a sunday when there were other better looking distractions. lol :)

The Phipps car was run by Dave Bray, and that body is the one from Trevor Crowes Corolla if I am not mistaken. I crewed for Dave for some years.
