44 gallon drums for safety fencing. Classy. No idea how you guys did it back then.

Hi Paul, just a bit of nostalgia for you, I have the Rhubarb 1 car.It still exists.

Jamie, yes it's ben a long time. I moved to Oz after the divorce and the first of two battles with the deadly "rust". Health problems and starting-over have kept me out of racing, but I try to follow what I can back in NZ mostly as the Aussie sports-racing scene is limited to state level championships in NSW and Queensland with only club sprint style events in Victoria. Surfing trademe.co.nz over the last couple of months was interesting, Ralph Young's BDV up for sale twice (before and after an engine haemorrhage), Lester Reader's(RIP) LJR, a new-build rear-engined sports-racing cars and a SCANZ car in bits. In addition t bringing back heaps of memories of my brief time in SCANZ with a couple of U2's and a failed attempt with Rhubarb 2, it got me thinking about buying a project to restore now that I have the time and more importantly the ultimate requirement .... the money to do it properly for once.

Hi

If any one interested ,Planning on getting a run out of Rhubarb 3 this weekend 5/11/16 for the teretonga 60th this weekend if any 1 has any info on current lancia motor in it would be greatly appreciated.

As mentioned on other threads, Bucklers, and Ralph Watson, Bruce Dyer sent me some photos from a meeting at Taupo in 1998;
this seems the right place for the Mallock U2's and also the Fiat Targa.







Fiat Targa



Looks like the " Northland [ Jackson-Logan ] Special " and a Riley Special in the background as well as a single seater

Have a couple of shots of a Kieft too .. unsure where to place them as is a single seater !!
