The Roaring Season

Hey Popey, here's a picture of your Coupe. Do you have a picture of it in XAGT guise?. Note there are 4 Coupes in this image.

Have a look at this older roaring season forum... "Production-Supercars of the late 70s early 80s"

As a point of interest Steve, Cliff Pilling actually used to own (and race) my coupe back in the 70's (I found that out around the early 90's in a rather convoluted way). Cliff sent me a newspaper clipping (and photo) of the coupe doing 156 mph in a flying 1/4 mile back in the late 70's. It would be ...

This car did go to the South Island and was raced by Cliff Pilling. I think he subsequently starting racing the ex Monaco motors Z28 Camaro. I saw the Monaro for sale in a car yard in Invercargill in road car trim in the mid/late 80's.

Hey Vern, is this Legit or is it someone trying to make a buck off you. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221150176902 Good spotting! Yeh its legit, a good mate of mine in Aus - Richard Sherman (he used to live here and in his time has raced a couple of real nice XU1's and a ...

Hi Vern Trevor Mclean and my dad Bruce were brothers and I (Steve) am Bruce's son. I don't suppose you would happen to have any pics of dads XB or Trevor or my E49's we ran back then by any chance? Hi Steve I remember the cars well, but unfortunately do not have many photos. Part of the reason I ...

Budgetry constraints mean a somewhat limited campaign this season, a few more in the new year hopefully. The above video would probably be at least late 90's and is of yet another fledgling muscle car class - "Road Race Musclecars" (I dont think I got the name quite right but it was somthing like ...

Ian still works as an auto sparkie, I bumped into him a couple of years ago, he now owns and is rebuilding the ex Shane Blind Camaro that used to race in Super GT's, it must almost be track ready by now.

Yes Veens car is the Francevic car (I always think of it as the Lendich car - may have been the sponser). John Popes XC (it originally started life as an XA (had the GT front etc (may have even been a GT) was sold to a guy in Thames (I think) who was going to turn it back into a road car but I'm not ...

The 2nd phase of Production Supercars imploded in the early 90's and we went classic racing instead this is at Whenuapai with the Andersons Camaro and Mustang.

Veen Smiths SS Commodore

Vern Mullers Coupe in XC Cobra guise.

Vern Mullers Coupe in XA guise.

Wes Kidbys XU1, another very quick XU1.

Tony Saggers L34 - another factory car - this was originally raced in South Island Production Saloons.

Richard Shermans factory L34 - its factory colour was a burnt orange (I had some idea it was a special Bob Jane colour (?).

Keith Rennies XU1 - fiarly highly developed car for its time

Phil Schuberts XAGT Coupe (RPO83 I believe) - not a very good photo but the spray shows all the aerodynamics (free wind tunnel testing?).

Vern Mullers XAGT (err.. that's me) - owned it for 20 years then sold in a fit of madness (it's now back in Aus).

John Turners Torana - subsequently raced for many years by Wes Kidby (Wes painted it Orange (Lone oranger).
