Found these in a Auckland Car Club magazine November 1988, not sure of some but some one will know.

1st looks like it is a Rotary powered sports, and someone is after him. Then Datsuns and Commodore is I think Torkler.

This was a National meeting.

Believe this is the man who now plays with the Alfetta and a Cologne Capri in between other cars. He was quick in this Porsche championship and won it.
