Both Baypark pix are from the 30 Dec 1973 meeting. My guess about the Escort on the front row of the 0-4200cc race and also behind the Haig Mustang would be Jim Stone's fast 1300.

I don't know what happened to that particular Bandag Bullet in the long term but only a week or so after the Baypark incident it had been repaired in Tauranga and did a lunchtime burnout demo in the...

Fantastic selection of pix Nigel, I love being reminded of how cool those Formula Pacific cars were. We saw some great drivers here in the late 70s-early 80s. Rosberg is the obvious one but one of my...
Brian Audas, before he raced Mini7s he was one of the stars of the Mystery Creek rallycross with 1426cc Mini and only 3-4 years ago was racing a Corvette saloon car at Baypark Speedway.
I'm wondering if the Grace Bros Porsche is Jim McKeown? Pretty sure he raced at a Baypark October meet, maybe `74 or `75.
The pic taken on the grid with the Monaro flanked by two Falcons is from the Dec 30 1973 meeting, Castrol GTX Production Car Series. According to programme It's Robbie Francevic in the Gills Go Gear...
August 1981 from memory so 30 years ago. I worked on the startline timing crew at Darby Rd, Arapuni and Quin's Camaro landed in the swamp only a few kays into the stage. Then was timing crew again...
