The Roaring Season

Hi all. I am after a contact number for Roy Griffiths who raced in XW GTHO at Bathurst back in the late 60's. Roy used to work for a guy named Tony Paul (deceased) who raced an E38 R/T Charger in the early 70's. That actual Charger has been owned by my grand parents since 1974 when it finished ...

I have received a few more leads regarding the cars race history. I'll post up any extra info once I find out anything.

G'day Steve. Thanks for your reply. I have received a few good leads from Max Stahl who used to own the old "Racing Car News" magazines from back in the day that I am yet to follow up on. I will certainly attempt to track down the leads that you have passed on also as you never know who might just ...

Hi John. Yes I remember chatting to you and I still have all the emails we sent each other. I was only just looking at the pics a few days back of your Charger. To be honest I'm not 100% on what type of cage was in it but I would imagine it was the clamped type. I have been very lucky with ...

[video=youtube;6RDfvC3Edl8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RDfvC3Edl8[/video] Ok, so this is the video you meant, it is part 2 of the race I first posted. Hi Seaqnmac27. Yes that's the one. It is only a very brief mention of Tony Paul and I am very lucky that it had just made it in this video. It ...

Hi Steve and thanks for the reply. I am not too sure if it was ever upgraded to Group C in 1973. From my research thus far I have not found any record racing at all in 1973. To be honest I don't know a great deal about the classes and groups from back in those days. I was born in 1984 so I'm only 29 ...

Hi R/T 6 Pack. Tony was based in Queensland around the Mooloolaba area actually. He originally came from New Zealand. I spoke to Leo Geoghegan and he said that Tony passed away in a helicopter accident in 1974. I did actually manage to track down one of Tony's kids (now 40-50 years old, I'm guessing ...

I can't remember where I got the first photo with the GTHO from but the next two photos were supplied by Graham Ruckert Photography. The photo with the Datsun I seen on Graham's Facebook page and it states that the 1600 is being driven by John Jones and one of Johns friends has commented saying that ...

I have started my thread on the Charger now titled "Our ex Tony Paul ATCC R/T E38 Charger race car" in the general discussion section.

G'day all. As promised, here is my story on our E38 R/T Charger. I want to test the memories of the people that followed/supported the Australian Touring Car Championship back in the early 70's as I am trying to source any information/pics/footage of the car that people may have. Also any ...

It's a small world. I have heard of Gary actually and I had tracked down Leo a few years back and called him to see if he had any info on this particular Charger as the driver was also a New Zealander. Leo couldn't help my out at all but it was great to chat to such a legend from the Charger days.

Really? Can I ask what their names are?

G'day all. My names Brad and I live in the beautiful Hunter Valley NSW. I am a Holden nut through and through and have owned numerous HQ Monaro's but currently own a Silver Mink/Goya Red HK Monaro running a very warm 327, Turbo 350, 9" with a full spool, 28 spline and 4:11's. Gorgeous car but the ...
