That race was the second long distance race the XU1's won that year,beating the V8 cars in the process emulating the similar success they had been enjoying across the Tasman ,Brocklehurst had performed well in a late season Pukekohe race ,leading the field for the opening laps,he followed this up with a battle for pole in the Glenvale 100 a couple of months later with Jim Palmer in a similar car and disputed the lead with him until his first pit stop when starter trouble delayed him dropping him to second place behind Palmer,further development of the car before the Golden 100 saw a further increase in pace and he was able to put up a pretty commanding performance in that race which was held under fairly wet conditions

This was the car driven by Ralph Emson in the North Island rounds of the 72/73 GTX series and by myself in the four South Island Rounds of that season

The first one he raced was yellow,he also owned the orange car above but never raced it before Rod brought it,he had moved onto the GTHO by then

Richo's car was lone 'o'Ranger orange. We have owned it for 25 odd years.

HMMMMMMMM, now im confused.

Are you refering to the JR monaro, or brocklehurst XU1
as far as the XU1s i have a feeling both his yellow and orange cars were in Aust but i could be mistaken?
Can you elaborate

Cheers

Sorry, I should have read the post a bit more closely. We have the LJ XU1 that Jim Richards won the Glenvale 200 in. That car is 'Lone o ranger.
