I found this photo of Graham McRae in a 2005 Classic Driver magazine. The quote was : " In a stunning drive, McRae, in the first McRae Twin Cam built using running gear from his Brabham, holding off Graeme Lawrence in the Ferrari at Levin in 1969.

I know this is a bit out of place but this was also a NZ Allcomer that I clearly remember accelerating away from the "Elbow Corner" at Pukekohe with smoke pouring from the dual rear wheels. Great memory of a very brave driver, Colin Lumsden. I just wondered what became of this behemoth ? Thanks ...
