These are sensational Ellis, thanks so much for sharing them. I've embedded them so they can also be played here.

That there is what made the old time racing such a great entertainment - the cars so clearly on the edge, all body roll and oversteer, drivers hanging onto the steering wheel and sawing away at it. Modern cars are way faster and more competent, so are the drivers in a different way, and the spectating can be good too - but they've lost that sense that something is about to go badly wrong at any second.

Ellis, what is the white #19 sports car approx 28sec into the second video? I assume all the owners of the Humpy Holdens early in the second video are people you know? For anyone who hasn't yet watched these, I can't recommend them highly enough.

Steve
Its Bruno Carrossi in his Bolwell (Mk7 ? ) with 179 Holden
Bruno constructed the car from a kit. He had a bodyworks.
It was really well built and went very well in its day.
I recall this car being destroyed in a workshop fire or similar.
Bruno used to have the ex Bob Jane Jag
As far as knowing the Humpy boys goes.......Thank God for name tags
at the reunion in Hobart a few years ago.
