Re: 1971 Australian GP Touring Car Challenge
Hey Bry, this is great! Nice find. I have this race on dvd, but hadn't seen it posted online yet. Lots of intersting stuff going on in here. Bob Jane had just recently been crowded ATCC champion in the Camaro, hence Norm Beechey wasn't wearing the #1 on his door as he had throughout the year. Also, Jane's Camaro is still wearing its 1971 decals, but the Minilite wheels are now painted black in the centre, as the car appeared in 1972. I assume it still has the big block here?
Great to see Geoghegan pushing the Super Falcon. Boy, he could drive! His Mustang was in NZ at this time, along with Allan Moffats Mustang. Meanwhile, Kiwi Camaro driver Dennis Marwood is here. Go figure. Is this the event where the other Kiwi, Paul Fahey, was forced to run in the Sports Sedan field in his Escort?
Note way down the field in amongst all the Series Production cars is Graeme Blanchard in the ex-Terry Allan Camaro.
