Mark, incredible photographs! Thanks for sharing. I'd never seen these photos from Teratonga before. Amazing.

David, yes, the very same. It seems the rear wing was different at nearly every event! I'm not sure where the below was from. Pukekohe? I've seen another photo in Wolfgang Klopfer's "Formula 5000 in New Zealand & Australian Race by Race" from Warick Farm that shows yet a 3rd rear wing setup. Also ...

1972 Laguna Seca L&M Grand Prix. And the winner is..... I think you'll recognize a name or two here.

1972 Laguna Seca L&M Grand Prix. Dave Jordan in Eagle#512 on his way up to the corkscrew (turn 6 then?)

1972 Laguna Seca L&M Grand Prix program. Note the prize money. A pretty nice payday for 1972. I believe that's David Hobbs in Carl Hogan's M10b. Though the picture is in the 1972 program it's from 1971 I think. The results show Hobbs drove a Lola in '72.

OF, it's all about perspective.

In front of Dick Smothers restaurant, Manhattan Beach, CA. 1970 Candy Martin and Eagle #512 on press day.

Speaking of F5000s of the early 70s, here is a new announcement from Classic Carlectables. The 1971 Australian Grand Prix Winner. Great looking Matich! Here's another model. Dick Smothers (entertainer) and Candy Martin (Riverside International Race Queen) with the AIR Dave Jordan Eagle #512 at the ...

Great photos Nick! And a great job on the car.

Eagle MK5 #511 recently resurrected in Colorado. Wonderful job of rebuilding the ex Davey Jordan ex Swede Savage Eagle # 511. In 1969 the AIR team of John Crean and James Garner purchased 3 cars to race in the North American Formula/A (F5000) series. The chassis were 511, 512, and 513. 511 raced in ...

Hi Steve, My mistake, it's actually the Goodwood Revival. The FOS is the hillclimb. (I edited my post to correct it). I haven't watched any of these DVD's but a quick google gives me the "gift shop" at Goodwood for the DVD. http://shop.goodwood.com/products/2011-goodwood-revival-dvd-1 Steve

Here's a photo of the car Nick's working on. 1970 Oulton Park. David Prophet M10B. View the results here http://www.ultimateracinghistory.com/racelist2.php?uniqid=23463

Here's related F5000 video of Jay Esterer at Goodwood Revival in 2011. Jay also has two McRae GM1's that he has raced around the globe. I believe he won last years Lady Wigram. The video is not F5000 but it IS probably the most entertaining race I've "seen" at Goodwood. See what you think! Whitsun ...

Hey Nick, great photos! Hopefully you'll get a chance to record the audio (at least) of the dyno run. No need to publish the numbers though McLarenRA.jpg Here's a pic of the M10B at it's last race before the rebuild. Road America, July 2012. That's the RIAM / Adamowicz Eagle mk5 in the foreground ...

Thanks for the video link. Amazing how old some of the cars were that were competing that year. Particularly liked the start where the race was on but the pace car was still trying to exit the track! Great variety of cars. A shame we're down to spec series now.

Hey Eagle, thanks for the pics, those are stunning cars. Can you tell me more about "The Ginger People Racing Team"? Yes, the McLaren M10B (ex David Prophet) has been owned and raced by Bruce Leeson for many years. Bruce is an Australian living here in California. One of his incarnations was as a ...
