Just looking at the pics of Graeme Addis in the Monaro.
Not a HT GTS 350, but a HK327- and no lung gasper.
Taillamps, rear boot lid garnish
Also no bonnet scoops, GTS badge on the rh side of bonnet.
Just like my Team Cambridge Monaro- someone just put a HT grille on
Great effort against the XAGT 351 and Richo
Found an old Autonews 23 March 1970 which had an article on the National Race meeting, run by NSCC, the final of the Championships for the 1969 - 70 season.
Will post the article later but here are three of the pictures by Gavin Evitt.
One of my favourite cars, the Dave Silcock 3.8 Mk 11 Jaguar in its earlier specs before all the lightening - couldn't get rid of the crease, that is how it was published and stapled.

The blue 1200SSS is Allan Nuttall's car and the white one is Bill Anderson's.
Whose / what is the white Wild Wheels entry, anyone know ?
Graeme Addis & Noel Goodwin Chrysler Charger No. 14
So, I assume that became the Wild Wheels Sports Sedan.......in time.
Graeme and Noel , talk about a pair of loose cannons, love to hear the Chargers life story from the car itself.

Ah yes- however I have an excuse! Christine drove this car at this track very well indeed. The two of us were along way ahead of the rest. I was racing this car after this scratch GTX race in the B & H with John Woolf. We had to have the full std exhaust on. Christines car had the exhaust off and was a rocket ship. After, for the remainder of the GTX championship my girlfriend and I would climb under the 128 and take the exhaust off for races. The difference was huge. Hats off to Christine however, on that day I just could not stay with her in a straight line.

Just noticed some changes in another programme.
Number 3 was scratched
Number 15 was a Mini 1275 GT driven by Frank and Robin Radisich
Number 40 was a Mazda 323 driven by 17-year-old Paul and 15 year-old Chris Radisich.
Would have to be one of the very few times, if not the only time, four members of one family competed in the same race.
Brilliant thanks Milan - I have have sent you a PM re these both here and on FB to get your new email address.

While the number three Commodore was scratched by Paul Adams, the body and the engine of that car did compete in the race.
The Coppins Clayton Car had engine trouble during testing on Thursday before the race so they bought the Adams car from Giltrap Racing and put the engine from that into their Top Pet car.
Then after practice the Hulme Richards car was written off in a road accident in Pukekohe while being driven by a mechanic.
They then put the running gear from the wrecked car into the engineless Adams car.
So the Adams car provided the engine for the Commodore that won the race and the body for the Commodore that finished third.
Outstanding images Ross! Thanks for posting.
Is it possible to get some more info on the Commodore that was written off on the road ?
Why John, were you the unnamed mechanic ?
KH
Ken- never, ever have I been seen driving or sitting as a driver in a commode.
My question is- if there was a race meeting at Pukekohe Racetrack, how did a race car get written off in a road accident in Pukekohe ?
Remember John that this was a race for "Standard Production Cars". Quite legal to drive them on the road.Quote:

Whose going to say to them- we took the car for a quick road test and ...well,did you ever see that movie "Vanishing Point"?,
BTW- got that poster yet?
The accident happened after official practice on Saturday. I would guess the car would be going back to Giltrap's workshop for a final check over before the race the next day. Nobody had huge transporters for moving cars around in those days.
BTW- got that poster yet?
John,
Yes, it just arrived and I really appreciate it especially all the signatures. Brilliant. Thanks so much.
I just have to find a suitable place to display it.
Your 1980 BMW calendar will be on it's way in a couple of days now I have your proper address.:o
Cheers,
Ken.
