Photos: The Graham Ruckert Collection: Part 1

[Steve Holmes]

I never tire of posting photos of the Pete Geoghegan Super Falcon. It seems there is not a single boring photo of this car in existence!

This superb shot was taken at the 1971 ATCC round at Lakeside. Geoghegan took both the Falcon and his elderly Mustang GTA to this race, but after practising both, opted for the Mustang, which brought him home in 2nd behind Allan Moffat, but ahead of Bob Jane. Meanwhile, the Super Falcon was handed over to John French, who wrestled with it throughout, sliding the tail and cocking the inside wheel. It was a truly spectacular display. After all his hard work, French finished 5th, one lap down on the winner.
