The Roaring Season

Great pictures Steve. Keep them coming.
Cheers,
Bob.

Thanks Bob, glad you're enjoying them.

This is the beautiful Mustang Funnycar of Aussie racer John Lumb.

Check the size of that crowd! People sure were motley in the '70s.

Nick Liefting's Altered.

Allan Lim's mad-as-hell Escort. Must have been a handful.

This was Paul Chapmans spinner I believe
318 mopar and torqueflight, tilt front. Was an original 2 dr we towed it out of Auckland city back to Howick one night on a chain behind a 6 wheeler tip truck, we often used to joke about the "stretched doors"

Thanks Duncan, thats fantastic!

Ken Lovegrove and his 6-banger rail.

This is wild. Murray Butler's injected big block MkI Cortina two door.

Nick Liefting versus Cub Roberts.

Roger Murray versus Errol McLachlan.

This would have been a pretty old car by the time this photo was taken.

Ivan Jujnovich and his Chevy Nova. Being a muscle car guy, I find it fascinating seeing some of the cars that found their way to NZ back then. Two door Chevy Novas are rare as hens teeth even now. Does this car still exist?

I just love this thing. Aussie visitor Warren Goodall and his mad blown Hemi powered Austin pick-up. Must have been a real handful with that short wheelbase. Thats his wife in picture.

I assume this is Warren Goodall himself.

If late 70's I would have been in that crowd, is that a 69/70 Shelby parked up the hill.......great photos.

Dale M

So was I on the hill. Do you remember the toilets over the hill ???

I think it's a '71 Mach Dale. The rear roof line looks too flat to be a '69-'70.
