New Zealand Allcomer Saloons
Not sure why it is this forum has been running for a year now and nobody has started a thread dedicated to the Allcomer saloons! Anyway, time to put that right, so if you have anything Allcomer related, including photos, race program entries, results, lost and found info, etc etc, post it here, and we'll build ourselves a database.
I'll kick off with a neat photo supplied by Bob Homewood. I'm pretty certain this is one of the preliminary races prior to the big championship race at the opening round of the 1967 NZ Saloon Car Championship, but if anyone would like to set me straight, please jump in. Robbie Franicevic would be starting this race from the rear of the grid in the Custaxie, and finished third, behind Paul Fahey and Jack Nazer.

The screen-saver on my computer is set up to run through all my pictures on a sort of random process.
This picture appeared yesterday after a period of keyboard inactivity and I just had to find it and post it here!

I must have taken it at almost the same instant as the picture in the first posting. I have 2 versions of the starting grid in 2 programmes, but neither one tallies with this picture. At least Bob Homewood seems to be in his right position, but Robbie Francevic looks like he is planning a big blast around the outside. The full version of this slide shows some very dark clouds to the South, which tallies with the wet track Bob mentions.
