The Roaring Season

My brother has just sent me these through to try to clean up for him. All Slides that have been scanned, some good , some not so good but all history.
Just a few tonight, and will drip feed more through as I get them cleaned up a little if I can.

Jim Palmer Porsche and Rod Coppins Camaro

Derek Hall Mustang. Will follow up on this later as I know there was a thread here that mentioned the Mustang that was entered in a longer distance type race when it first arrived and there was pictures. I remember it saying something about the numbers being reversed eg 41 / 14.

Rod Coppins Zephyr or Allan Lim - Keith says Allan Lim. Also has K & L Motors Tuakau on gaurd so would be more of a match to Allan. If so I have certainly never seen it before.

Grady Thomson in Monaro colour should be Bronze - a work in progress to save this picture. Sorry John

Have received 75 scanned photos so far with a lot from 68? and later with Formula A's at Baypark, Sports Cars, Mini's, XU1's. Some shots of Red Dawsons car with just the #35 on the door.
He says that there are more to come as he gets them scanned.
Anyway I will gradually get them posted as I get the time at night.
Enjoy !
Regards
Tony

Tony- Mustang Fastback 390 cubic inch in #1 is Derek Hall.
Great score on all these pix and really grateful you are taking the time to do this for us.

Yep great piks thank you Tony..... love the trees at end of back straight plus early pik of Rod [does any one know the history of where Rod got the MK2 from ????? . Also good one of Brent remembering no seat belts in his car & this was the Begg that ended things ......

Yep, these are really great, love the Cob and E Type. Camaro in all white, spinner Black ?

The cob is Steve or Rod Millen. Notice back mud flap as this was hillclimbed as well.

Thought Mustang in #1 might have been Mr 'Frank Bryan' as it was plain when he first ran it.

Giving it 'the jandal' Rod Coppins in Mustang, great photos.

Falcon GT, Phase 2 is not Richards, it is Francevic-I dont mind dangerous corners-FH 2006 with Jim Palmer behind.
Jim Richards was probably driving Bill Norrish (Mr Supertune) V6 Capri.

There were insufficient GTHOs in NZ to be eligible to race at this B +H support race, so Ernie Sprague withdrew

Thanks everyone. Will add the names and don't forget I will be replacing most of these over the weekend when I have had time to try and repair the colours.

MMmmmmm Ernie sold frank a hot mk 2 engine in the day ......... I remember Ernie had a hi roof & low roof mk 2 raced in the south island.. thought one went north ... just wanted conformation I do know who will know though thought this would be a bit of fun to find the facts.

Rods Mk 2 was bought else where from a chap in NI
