You will notice the tow wagon of OSCA drivers choice in the backround. They all used old International ambulances. Sturdy, with lots of room in the back.

I wonder if this is the same car when it was still road legal. Photograph from Baypark 1980

Not sure if anyone has provided an update on this. The RS2600 was not an original car but built as a replica...in much the same way dad built his. Initially dad and Terry Holtham were only going to build the engine but ended up doing a lot more. This extended to becoming pit crew during the 1976 / 1977 GTX Series. Norris won his class and I believe came 2nd outright...with Inky Tulloch winning the series in the Camaro. The car ran a few events after this and then Norris sold the car and headed to the UK. He now resides in Melbourne and mum and dad caught up with him at Phillip Island. The car exists today...lower North Island. Check out the HSC / HMC Facebook page for a photo posted there today.
