The Roaring Season

Thanks for the Develco info Bondy. Are you aware of the specification or any other details of of the car at all? Were Develco SA based? Yes Develco were SA Based, Simon Aram and Bernie Pfitzner. I can't recall much about the car but i think Racing Car News did a story on Dave Jarrett's Camaro being ...

The Peter Finch Monaro was built by Develco. They also built the Clem Smith Charger, re built the Grant Jarrett Camaro (ex Peter Finch/Jon Kay Indy Speedshop) and Tony Parkinson Commodore (Later to Bob Jolly etc) to name a few. The Finch Monaro was 2nd overall at the Sandown July 81 ASSC round.

Hey David, that "good ol' boy" drawl is pretty normal, I live in southern Virginia, one of my neighbors is retired NASCAR driver Ward Burton (Daytona 500 winner, the holy grail of NASCAR) and you would need a chainsaw to cut through his slow and thick southern drawl. Another neighbor is Bill Hill ...

Sorry for my ignorance Bondy, but is resin plastic, like the old kitsets models? I am no expert on Resin Steve, but basically they use a form of plastic mold and fill it with a liquid synthetic resin which hardens. It is much cheaper than diecast tooling and great for when you can't get the numbers ...

I would think so Steve, but more likely in resin...

That's probably the one i was baby sitting back in March

Hi Wayne, John was from Ballarat iirc, when he and i raced @ Winton in 1997 (Superkarts supporting Supertruck meet) he was telling me he was building a Mazda RX7 Sports Sedan for the 2 Litre Series. I still know some guys in the Superkart scene so i will ask if anyone knows how to contact him. In ...

I remember both the Bluebird and the Mazda RX7, the Mazda was run by John Coughlan, i knew him from my Superkart days..

[ATTACH=CONFIG]24664[/ATTACH] Justin McClintock in the Galloway (his father raced this in the 80s) ahead of Jim Doig in the Motorlab ASP. Jim has owned this car since 1973 and i think has only missed one SA Australian Race Meeting as he was overseas at the time. It would easily be the most raced ...

If you want good graphics, Assetto Corsa is supposed to be the next big thing... http://i58.tinypic.com/2uqj292.jpg Yes its pretty cool, i have been playing that for a while. For ease and being able to catch up with old race mates though, i have found Iracing the best and its easy to quickly make a ...

Wow, that is cool! I bought GP Legends when it was first released, must have been back in the late 90s. It was incredible for the time, and each car had its very different characteristics, eg, the Brabham was sure-footed and reliable, but not as fast as some of the other cars. The Lotus was a ...

I love the Movie, i have watched it sooo many times

Speaking of GP Legends, the Lotus 49 in IRacing is alot of fun, i still play GP Legends, GT Legends etc

Steve, you should pay attention to my facebook status feeds as i shared the link to Bruce Smart's site a little while ago Some NZ flavour in some of Bruce's shots iirc..

There are a few NZ cars available for download, like Escorts and Capri's. Lots of add on tracks, like Queensland Raceway pictured..

The Chev Monza is available in the PC game, GT Legends and one of the cars in the list is, Red Dawson
