Dean Hall

Post by Homer »

Hi All

Can anyone shed some light on Dean Hall when he came to race in NZ. Basically looking for what years he competed over here and for what team he raced for, results etc. Any pictures would be a bonus.

Thanks in advance

I can also remember him driving an Indycar at the Gold Coast race in the early 90's

Boy, weren't those Swifts just the most magnificent looking machines, after years of Ralt RT4 domination.

Thanks for the info guys, its so hard to try and find this information on the net - much appreciated. Bry, you are correct, Dean Hall did run in the Gold Coast Indy, I have the programme at home so will have to confirm which year it was. 1993 rings a bell? The car was Yellow with Subway sponsorship.
