I was racing OSCA at that time and remember the Wigram meeting well. The meeting was televised. I had been dicing with Dave Robertson in his hemi powered Avenger, and on TV it showed Scott passing Dave half way down the back straight, going about 100km/hr faster. The speed difference between front and mid field!!
Didn't former Dunedin'er Bruce Jenner have something to do with the cars coming over here?
Yes I'm very sure Bruce Jenner was the main organiser behind the two cars coming over. Mark Petch through Auto News also helped out and if memory serves me correctly, there were full page adverts in Auto News for a number of months trying to get financial support for their visit - hence all the small writing on the back of the Camaro in the pic above. I'll have a look and see if I can find the ad.
