The Roaring Season

Rhubarb 2 and 3 Bay Park
This from my third Season with Rhubarb 3 when I raced it with the 416b Hart based engine ,Tino had a Mazda rotary engine in Rhubarb 2

Well thats what I have been told ,any more information or corrections are welcome

This is part of a photo that was sent to me to identify ,I'm open to suggestions on this one

Colin Smith and Tom Donvan Sprite Timaru 1976

ok I have a few here, not sure what is what so I will let my learned colleagues judge

A few more

Lastly

These all appear to be from the pre-SCANZ era, and most aren't 2-litre cars. Perhaps Steve would like to peel them off into another thread, and leave this one "pure"...

Either way -
Post 5: Lycoming Special No.1 (twice), an MGB GT, Rhubarb III? (Bob?), Ferrari 250LM, Scott Wiseman's E-type

Post 6: PMS-Climax?, JRM?, Lotus Seven 100 (Ross West?), Lancer 71, Wiseman again, JRM?

Post 7: first pic looks like a single-seater (which I can't identify), then Elfin or Gemco (they both at Gemco bodies at one stage, and I can't remember OTTOMH who ran 59)

David yes most of those photos are from a earlier time ,The Rhubarb 3 photo is possibly of Colin Smith

This is the Colour Scheme of Rhubarb 3 in the first season of my ownership
That photo is from Timaru from the meeting which the Australian cars came across to
contest ,the car behind is Jamie Aislabie in Sid 2

Sorry first post of #7 is listed being the Terrapin engine bay

Would the Terrapin be the car of Kevin Ingram ?

Does the Sid 2 that Jamie Aislabie raced in this photo still exist in NZ ?

Yes, I think the JRM is piloted by Bob Hyslop, he used to wear a half-bubble visor. Pedersen ran 59 in the Gemco I think.
Good crowd in at Pukekohe !

Post #2 is Rhubarb 1. Hi Bob I own this car and you helped me track down its history (Thanks). Dennis Dunbar purchases it from Adrian and Collin. Have more photos if anyone interested.

Always interested in photos west17. are you going to be running the car at any time.

From what I understand the true SCANZ series in the 2 litre format didint start untill 1972 although there was some form of a sportscar series running prior to its inception.

This was Rhubarb 3 in its final evolution in my ownership with 1860 cc 416b Hart based Twin Cam Engine,it was very much modified by that time
