How cool is this! Race winner Max Stewart, along with his Lola T330, shares the victory celebrations with McRae in second, and Graeme Lawrence in third.

The Morand built Chevy in the back of the David Oxton Begg FM5. I believe this is the motor which Wayne Huxford later bought and ran in his Capri Sports Sedan for many years.

Johnnie Walker again in the Lola. He qualified 4th and was classified as a dnf, even though he completed 61 of the 62 laps. On the penultimate lap, he and Warwick Brown bumped into each other at the Elbow. At the time they were battling over 2nd position. Brown recovered to finish 4th, behind winner Max Stewart, Graham McRae, and Graeme Lawrence, while Walker only managed another 100 meters before he had to stop with the punctured tyre.

Here is Jim Richards in the Sidchrome Mustang. This was the first season JR raced this car, in its original guise with the bubble flares. It went on to win the championship this season.

Thanks to Jac Mac for putting me right, in that I incorrectly said Ian Peak was from Invercargill. He was, in fact, from Gore. Thanks for this Jac.

Coppins and Bruce again, but, check out the boy-racer MkI Cortina in the spectator area! How cool is that!

Some saloon cars, or, 'racing cars with doors', as Michael Clark calls them. Rod Coppins in the Firebird heads Lawrence Bruce in the ex-Kevin Haig Mustang.

Johnnie Walker in his Lola T330. I could be wrong, but I suspect many of these photos are from practice day, as there don't seem to be as many spectators and spectator cars about as normal.

Graham McRae in the GM2.

I was going to crop this image down, but I enjoy these Teretonga photos as much for the backgrounds as the actual racing cars. Note the line of spectator cars along the sand bank. At the far right someone has taken full advantage of their cream Landrovers off-road capabilities to gain a better vantage point.
