The Roaring Season

Can't remember exactly but that first car race I recall someone rolled their Cortina but we went to the adjoining speedway more frequently and preferred it as there were heaps of races (Saturday night Speedway night), many incidents, wonderful smell, bikes, midgets, TQs, sidecars ...

Driven by one of Jurgens who had a demolition company (as per the livery). there is a photo of the rear of the car on another thread somewhere. If I recall it was later sold and hot rodded? cheers Mark Here is the link http://www.theroaringseason.com/showthread.php?1622-Barrie-McBride-Collection-5 ...

Pretty sure this is Jenny Mossman when she raced the car, she was smooth and quick. Had Holden engine, and was red, blue and white Except if you hover the curser over the photo Ross Cammick has dated it 1980 and it had been previously reported Jenny Mossman purchased it in 1984 from Keith Weir so ...

Thanks so much everyone who has posted. This is really great stuff, and interesting to get peoples opinions. Before creating this thread I had created a small list of cars. They include: Begg FM5 (Oxton) Capri RS2600 (Fahey) Ferrari 256 (Hoare) Ferrari LM (Buchanan) Maserati 250F (Amon) McLaren M8A ...

[quote="Steve Holmes"]Ross has captioned this one "Curtis, Edgell, Platt". Would Curtis be motoring journalist Robin Curtis who passed away last year?

Yes it is.

Entry cost was quite reasonable for the competition distance, tyre and brakes last a ...
