Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone has photos of the Brock Miedecke Sierra from the December 1990 Nissan Mobil series.
I have a project happening at the moment and wanted images of as it ran in...

'JT' John Thornby I believe he used to work with Jamie Aislabie doing exhaust headers back in the day, quite a character all right, He and his mate Keith "Doon" Weir were Destitute Racing, both had...

[QUOTE=Steve Holmes;49685] I may well have my wires crossed, but I thought I was told, or that I read, that the OXO Supercube Cosworth raced in the early part of the 1987 ATCC by Don Smith was a...

I haven't even tried to date this one yet or even identify the driver/car! Possibly December 1984?

Looks like Riley Hopkins in Grant Campbell's car. Not sure what year though

I only know the brown one was sold to Mark, don't know what happened after that as I went overseas.

That's right Marty, the donor car was the LHD AWA Clarion Mk1, used the rack & pedal box out of it,

Think you will find the Rutherford Mk2 was built at Reg Cooks for Warren Steel.

Totally agree, they are great photos BMCBOY,

It was a great era of racing to be involved in......... interesting season working with Ross Cheever, from Davy Jones pancing him in the main street...

I'm pretty sure in "86" Graham ran Pye on one car and Ignis Fridges on the other for the Gold Star .

I remember CD was a struggle to fit in the chassis, BMW sent him out to do the series, they had arranged 2 brand new engines from Cosworth but they were way down on power compared to Jennings etc....

That was the first race meeting I went to, I remember Warren building the imp, probably what got me interested in motorsport.
Years later I ended up with that imp shell and was in the process of...

yes the Owens Brothers pouring AV gas on the road down one of the gulleys on the Desert Road and waiting for Dave McMillan to arrive and set it alight....!!!!!

Not sure on that one Jamie, I might have already been OS when you did that one

Hey Danny, I have sent you a PM

Cheers Les

Hi Chris, from memory... and it was along time ago, it was yellow when I stripped the shell

Cheers,

The guy in the Pics is Danny from Wollongong NSW. he did all the moulds & body work for our sprints

The 79 car is Bob Tweedie car, it was originally put together by a guy in Adelaide, when I took over running it for Bob we changed it quite alot to encompass/exploit the rules at the time :)

I was talking to the late Howard Marsden when he was head of Ford V8 Supercar program as I had built a couple of sprints in Oz for Bob Tweedie (sold a few years ago) in Sydney & Bill Meeke in Perth...

Yes Jamie, car #9 was Warren Steel, it was the first outing for Rhubarb 5.....not sure of the year but it would have been around 76/77. it was the only time it ran with a full width front splitter....

I was looking after Davids car & Brett Lupton was on Thackwell's car.
These were new 87 model cars, David crashed his at Bay Park and reverted to the spare 86 model..........he liked the 86 car...

Hi Steve,
They are great pic's
Post 30 & 35 car 9 is Warren Steel in Rhubarb 5.
The Brabham we pulled apart to build the Rhubard would be worth a small fortune if was complete today :)
