'Looks like she beat you into the loop Steve'

Ah yes- however I have an excuse! Christine drove this car at this track very well indeed. The two of us were along way ahead of the rest. I was racing this car after this scratch GTX race in the B & H with John Woolf. We had to have the full std exhaust on. Christines car had the exhaust off and was a rocket ship. After, for the remainder of the GTX championship my girlfriend and I would climb under the 128 and take the exhaust off for races. The difference was huge. Hats off to Christine however, on that day I just could not stay with her in a straight line.

Just noticed some changes in another programme.

Number 3 was scratched

Number 15 was a Mini 1275 GT driven by Frank and Robin Radisich

Number 40 was a Mazda 323 driven by 17-year-old Paul and 15 year-old Chris Radisich.

Would have to be one of the very few times, if not the only time, four members of one family competed in the same race.

While the number three Commodore was scratched by Paul Adams, the body and the engine of that car did compete in the race.

The Coppins Clayton Car had engine trouble during testing on Thursday before the race so they bought the Adams car from Giltrap Racing and put the engine from that into their Top Pet car.

Then after practice the Hulme Richards car was written off in a road accident in Pukekohe while being driven by a mechanic.
They then put the running gear from the wrecked car into the engineless Adams car.

So the Adams car provided the engine for the Commodore that won the race and the body for the Commodore that finished third.
