The Roaring Season

Yes, I think Gregs car was the ex Warren Steel car built at CMR with Les Laidlaw.

It was blue when Greg had it, I think he stuck it in the side of someone at the Puke hairpin.

Green haired Keith Weir, Consul, Destitute Racing. Team mate to " who the hell is JT".

I think it was ex Max Stewart.
