I think it was this round and especially looking at the results, one competitor showed me under their bonnet and the Datsun had twin carburettors!!!!

They changed the rules and allowed the bigger...

Yes Steve,

There was the 3 classes, 0-1300, 0-4200, 0-6000cc. All cars had to have the Shellsport signage on them and ran in the Shellsport championship events.
Sometimes the OSCA cars were...

Hi Dale,

The Shellsport series was earlier than that. My little car won the 75/76 and the 76/77 0-1300cc championships. Then they wanted to go 0-2000 at a drivers meeting we all attended. It was...

I have a photo of me following this car at Baypark in my shellsport Datsun. Unfortunately you can only see the rear mudguard of this car. So you might say I know first hand how this car went.

Interesting.............was given 59 for the B & H race and carried that over to win the GTX series in my Fiat 128. Was given number 88 as a random number for Shellsport. Won the 2 consecutive...

Hi Steve,
I think Dads car was entered by Torino motors as well. I was still at school and must have been 15 at the time. 'Our' T came as a virtually standard car without the engine mods. I ran this...

'Looks like she beat you into the loop Steve'

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...

Good photos

People commenting about tracks. Levin was a drivers track, you needed to be committed to be quick there. Manfield was also a drivers track, and I did drive there at the very first meeting as a school...

Gee, that really doesn't look like Baypark.

So Grant, you were a mad HQ driver! I got talked into running one over here in Brisbane. Did some races and ended up President of the Qld HQ racing association for a year.

I remember looking at an Imp with a datsun engine at Baypark, maybe 1976? It was in the 0-1300 Shellsport race that i was racing in also.

Hi Grant,

Sorry i have only just seen your post. I do have alot of photos of my Shellsport Datsun B110 coupe, however would not want to post them on this thread as this is about your family. That...

Remember the days of people turning up with a car, knocking off the hubcaps and away you go? As a kid i watched my Dad do this countless times. Grass track racing, and national circuit racing &...

Better to say nothing

I read that somewhere also, however do not remember it. It would have been a Datsun 1200 coupe which was 1300cc and racing against Dennis Marwood who had a 120Y. Those were very quick cars, you would...

I guess you mean these photos.
I think it is fair to say that you and me Grant were the two quickest drivers in these cars. With all the lap records we held between us that kind of backs...

Naughty boys, good thing i never did anything like that

It must have been just after this incident. I was sitting in Dads XU1 and Steve came up to Dad and spoke with him through the drivers window. He inquired as to whether he could use Dads car in the...

Two old buggers! I know they can tell a few stories. I had the pleasure of many great battles with Dennis, however never raced my god father, Paul.
Both of them, very hard chargers!

i remember following this car closely in my ETC Datsun B110 coupe a few times. It had just a wee bit too much grunt for my car!
