[color="#0000CD"]The Bowater car in posts 144/155 above has over riders on front bumper, dont think Ive seen a GTHO with these fitted in photos or otherwise.[/color]

what do you call over riders? I cannot see any

[Steve Holmes]

Those just look like stripes on the front bumper to me. Bit hard to tell from this angle.

more you chair off to one side Steve, changes the perspective

[color="#0000CD"]No need to move the chair, just have to get used to it, the last big quake might have tilted you guys a bit further than you were before

The Hogan/Larsen rail. Geoff Larsen is doing the burn-out. Garth Hogan is running alongside. What a cool shot!

[Steve Holmes]

Same car in colour, now with Hogan at the wheel.

[Steve Holmes]

Bruce Dow. That thing looks a handful!

[Steve Holmes]

Robin Unkovich. Now THATS a burnout!

[Steve Holmes]

Jim Walton. Great looking car, note the wings mounted above the rollcage and on the sides. Real cool.

[Steve Holmes]

I love this one. The Shadwick brothers blown Jeep. What a beast! Someone may recall better than me, but didn't this car feature in the second Weetbix card series?

I wonder where it is now.

Cub Roberts and Hooker 2.

This is Aussie drag racer Bill Croft's wicked T Bucket. Just look at those headers!

I want to finish off Part 2 of the Allan Porter collection with some neat multi-shot images of/from the Berry & Wilson rail.

First up is this flame burnout.

[Steve Holmes]

Next, both Allan and TVNZ attached cameras to the car. The TVNZ camera was attached to the rollcage and filmed the car heading down the track. Meanwhile, Allan attached his camera to the front axle, and set the shutter to take multiple images facing back towards the driver as it went down the track.

[Steve Holmes]

Finally, this is the series of photos taken by Allan's camera during the run, which includes the burnout. This is obviously a different run to the photos shown above, as the car is now missing its rear wing, but I assume its the same day.

Check these out, just awesome.

I could have this all back to front, but would that land off the in the distance be where Hampton Downs is now?
