Spgeti...... yes so cool eh........... If you can cast your eyes at the flag marshall standing by those 44 gallon drums [which was used in that time] he would be standing on the wrong side or 2 close to them lol, probably filled with water , looks like the elbow bend that had caught many out , & look at those people looks like a time warp , not sure what year a car went into the cattle truck & trailer & people lost their life, great piks guys thank you ............

Graeme Lawrence winds up the ex-Amon Ferrari on his way to a well earned 4th place.
Grable leads Norinder, Max Stewart, and Pierre Phillips.
Ron Grable
Geoff Mardon in the Begg
Neat pit photo.
Early race battle, with Mike Goth leading Graham McRae, Kevin Bartlett, and Graeme Lawrence.
Ummmm, a Formula Libre race, maybe? Other than Jim Boyd in the beautiful T70, who are the others?
And again, is that Grahame Harvey in the Elfin?
Yes- in its very early colour of light blue . Probably still has the big block 396 in it

Well the second car is the JRM sports of Bob Hyslop, and I think the Lotus XV may be John Armstrong. Interested to find out who is the Gold Leaf-liveried #70.

Kelvin Cameron BT21 ?

Was this qualifying? G Harvey and J Boyd did not like one another - I think this was Boyd's final season...and it was all on!
Hey guys, thanks for that. Michael, I didn't that about Harvey and Boyd.
Can anyone help here with ID's?
#67 is Graham Baker #15 is Wayne Murdoch [as seen in the pit shot your post #30 Steve, with Kelvin Cameron car #70]
