The Roaring Season

Thought I would bring this post forward to see if there are any members out there that know anything about Don Scott or his where abouts. I've been searching for him for a few years now but have no more leads. Also if anyone has any more info on the Ex Neville Crichton 350 HQ GTS Coupe he raced or ...

Hey Steve, Yeah mate, awesome job by the way! Put a smile on my face reading that one!

Crichton obviously liked his lime green cars as I own a lime green E48 Charger which he ordered from new.

Yeah probably, He certainly like to push the car to it's limit by the looks of mine, that's for sure!

Steve Holmes wrote:I just found out my father actually went to school with Don Scott, they're the same age. Scotts family owned Splashe soft drinks, hence the sponsorship.

Hi Steve, I still can't find Don Scott, don't have any other suggestions do you?

Yep, I would say thats the same car for sure Daryn. And if you looking at the number plate on the car, you can see its the same number plate as on Crichtons Monaro when it was green and racing in the GTX series in 1973/74, and on Don Scotts Monaro when it was brown and racing in the 1974/75 GTX ...

Steve, looking at the Craig Pulman sponsored 1975 winter series car and the last photo you put up, I would say that theses car are one and the same for sure. What do you think?

Thanks Steve, Great to see more and more photo's surfacing. Does Warwick remember the colour by any chance? Craig told me it was yellow for the car he sponsored.

Hi Thunder, Is that the Steve Dymand living in Scottsdale, Arizona?

Does anyone know the whereabouts or have contact with Steve Dymand? He raced a HQ 350 coupe around 1975ish.

Awesome photo's. thanks to all! Okay I spoke to Craig Pulman about the Don Scott car he sponsored and he told me the car was yellow. Low and behold there is a layer of yellow paint after rubbing back the roof pillar. After looking at Tonttu's pictures above I'm pretty sure that the later Group C ...

Yeah you're right Steve, I just want as much and anything at all about the car! This was the promo on trademe.com about the "Holden- A Kiwi Passion" Pallmall is referring to: "From the immortal FX & FJ models right through to the latest V8 powered Commodore cars & utes, Kiwi Holden fans are ...

Actually I've just found another one called The classic years. Does anyone out there have either of these books?

Hey Steve,
Is this the Book by Tim Chadwick your talking about? is there any chance you could scan and post up any decent picture of the Dymand car or e-mail them to me, I'd really like to study the photo against the advert I have. Thanks.

Yep thats Croaky driving, he gave the GT's Hell.

Here are the photo's I have of the Crichton car!

This is the only one I have of the Steve Dymand Car. To hard to identify, it's the best scan of it I can do!

The December 12 1975 issue of Motoraction magazine shows a photo of Steve Dymond driving a very similar Monaro to the one in your ad Daryn. It has the dark vinyl roof and the trip along the bottom of the bodywork, plus the kidneybean mags. Up until the previous season, Dymond had been racing an ...

Here you go Steve, No number plate.

[quote="Rod Grimwood"]Just to help with the confusion, there was a PINK Monaro with Woolworths written on it also in this mix, may be some how somebody needs to make contact with Jandels he may know a little bit about these cars. (think i have phone number) QUOTE] Hey Rod, If you could get in ...
