The Roaring Season

TonyG wrote:Unknown Formula Vee in post 2 I look at and think Rob Lester for some reason but looks like the name is Pickford on side of cockpit.

Purple Escort, front row 3rd photo in posts from club track looks like Jimmy Stone in his Gedore sponsored Escort.

Escort behind the Zap Starlet. Any ideas on who drove it ? Steve (Fullnoise68 ?) Too early for yours.

Cheers

Some have details on the back about driver / car / event, but a lot don't so if anyone can identify cars / people / events etc I'll add them to the back of each photos. We do know they're not taken at the NZGP because Dad has never gone to a GP. Looks like a National meeting as you can see the TVNZ outside broadcast trucks in the background on the infield. Anyway, here are the first lot.

Inky Tullock in the ex Paul Fahey Cologne Capri, now with 5.7L Chev V8



Roberto Moreno, Ralt RT4, GP winner 1982



Tom Donovon, Odlins Formula Pacific



Reg Cook, Datsun Bluebird "dual class" Shellsport and Saloon - either 2L or 3.3L



Bryce Platt, ex Reg Cook Datsun Sunny 1600cc, and the ex Jim Richards Sidchrome Mustang following, owned by George Sheweiry then?

East City News across the top of the windscreen - is this driven by Dave Slater?

This Falcon, off the number plate, is / was registered as a 1979 Ford Fairmont, cream, 4900cc, with a last known milage of 133,439 on the 4th of April 1998. So one would imagine it no longer exists, or is a permanent racer and hence not registered anymore.
