Great to hear that Dave still has this car, I was another that he let loose in it.

There are shots from Tasman series, sports cars, GTX, B&H, Mini7 and rallying. However I am recovering from a migraine and my PC hard drive has died so it may be some time before I can post more images unfortunately.

Peter Kocis came up from the South to compete in the Northern ACE-OSCA Series in his GTR Torana

Bruce Jenner made a couple of tips north for the North Island ACE-OSCA Series in the ex Coppins Camaro, but he found the cheeky big bore Mini of Grant Aitken more than enough competition on the tight Levin circuit

Which one is Don Halliday's Escort
IMG_0022.jpg

Although not outstandingly fast the Buick powered Viva of Paul Kirk was fairly well sorted and reliable for the 1972-73 season, gaining an overall win in the North Island and a probable second in class in the South.

Ron Silvester's Monaro was most powerful OSCA car but teething problems had the car bowing to less powerful but more reliable machines like Kevin Haig's Mustang

Austen Kyle was a new driver on the Formula Ford scene this season in a new car to New Zealand, a Crossle from Ireland. kyle met with mixed succss having more than this one off course excursion at Bay Park

One of the most attractive new Formula Fords was the Lyon Ford built by Dennis Lyon and Robin Officer in Southland
IMG_0016.jpg

North Island ACE_OSCA racing lacked the big engined cars of the South, but the B Class (1601-4200cc) was very competitive. Dick Sellens made a last lap attempt to get past the Cortina of Murray Soames and Ron McPhail's Escort under braking for Levin hairpin, slid off onto the grass and hit the bank.
IMG_0017.jpg

Clyde Collins built up a winner with the ex-Dawson Mustang engined Mk3 Cortina. The car waved its inside front wheel in spectacular fashion but still ran away from the rest of its competitors
IMG_0018.jpg

Pat Pascoe's very light ex-McRae twin cam-powered A40 was extremely quick though was involved in a number of incidents. Peter Wakefield's Zephyr powered version is the other side of the A40 sandwich
IMG_0019.jpg

Disaster struck the ex-Nazer twin cam Escort of Malcolm Coffey in his first appearance, the opening round of the Ace-OSCA series at Levin, when he got on the grass and struck a new mesh safety fence. Dick Cook here squeezes by the wreck.

Red Dawson was the quickest of the big saloons

One of the best dices at the Grand Prix was again between Reg Cook and Jim Richards

Peter Hughes had a bad start to the season when he lost his factory Valour drive, but once settled into a benefactors Titan he proved fully competitive.

What it looks like from the drivers seat of the Formula Ford Champion, Dave McMillan.

Ross Atkins got his nose all out of joint at Levin.

Reading through the race review supplied, this would be heat 2 and Ramsay would be the only one that makes sense. Heat 1 his rear axle let go on the start line apparently.

Allan Boyle now had the OHC Victor/ CF Bedford motor.They could take a lot of mods.
1973 was also when my Fairmont Coupe was born.
Is that the Aussie Ramsay in his HQ with stripes on his roof behind Coppins?

1973 was a very hd porno izle important year in our family. My parents both turned 30, they celebrated their 5th wedding anniversary and most importantly, I was born.

Now after a recent visit to NZ, I came home with a publication that I had flicked through on numerous occasions, the 1973 Shell Yearbook, so I am going to post the images that were printed in that publication.

Now I would apologise at the outset. this copy is lacking the covers and any initial pages. It has been like this as long as I can remember, therefore, i am unable to give any credit to any of the photographers.

Rod Coppins capped a very successful season by winning the BNSW NZ Saloon Car Championship in his Pontiac Firebird
IMG_0003.jpg

Best race of the sason and one of the best ever seen was the tremendous dice between Jim Richard's Imp and Reg Cook's Mini in the opening BNSW race brazzers at Ruapuna. In both heats the cars were no more than inches apart, although Cook managed to win them both.
IMG_0004.jpg

Peter Sundberg had one of his better races at the Grand Prix meeting, although this was in part helped by the pre race problems that beset rivals
IMG_0005.jpg

One newcomer to the BNSW was the Fiat 124 coupe of Glen McIntyre prepared by Bruce Wilson
IMG_0006.jpg

Hillman Imps, like Peter Levet's were fairly rare on the New Zealand scene last season
IMG_0007.jpg

Alan Boyle repainted the Coke Viva, fiddled with the suspension and gave the car a bigger heart making the very attractive Viva fully competitive in the 1001-4200 class.
