..Pete tells me the colour pics with the black ' Circular edging" were taken by holding his camera up to a pair of binoculars and , oh, the figure resting on the grass by the truck is Graham hill..

That's an outstanding photo of Graham McRae, atmospheric and one of the few of his face. So many photos of him are of his back view.

Agree Shano

Would this have been the first time the Tasman /F1 cars ran wings I ,was there and recall how amazing they looked the great Gold Leaf colours ,that Yellow Mildren ,the dry crunchy grass ,sunny CHCH day ,you could walk amongest the cars and drivers ,the sound down the back straight,we were so lucky such a great track! thanks Bry and Peter there are some other Wigram shots on here we need to drag them over

Love to see some more Wigram pics,,I could scan my shell Motorsport books and post some of Euan Sarginsons great dhots....not sure about copyright however..

That was the year I was invited to sit in the commentary box to give the odd insight into what was going on. I also arranged for David Oxton, without a drive after Chris Amon took over his car, to join us as an "expert witness". The principal commentator was Keith McEwan who, when we went on air, said something along the lines of, "Welcome to the Lady Wigram Trophy. With me in the commentary box is Dave McKinney. Over to you, Dave". And that's the last we heard from Mr McEwan!

I think Keith McEwan was more at home commentating the rugby David, good job he had an expert on hand

Exactly. I just wish he'd given me some warning

Bump, for those who haven't seen these.
