Old Speedway Photos

[225sloper]

I posted this on the Random Photos thread, but thought I'd also try here, as this appears to be a speedway car.

Gavin Shaw runs a Facebook page in which he has been posting up his own old New Zealand racing photos, plus those of others.

A recent posting was this oddball, which nobody has yet identified. Its a second gen Camaro, and appears to be at Bay Park. The Camaro appears possibly to be a speedway car, converted to run on tarmac, and with equal sized wheels left-right. Its hard to tell, but it appears also to have a windscreen fitted.

Does anyone know who this is, and when this was taken?

Is this it here,I was there at Ocean View Speedway in Wanganui having the USA drivers touring round the country was great as they were match racing all the locals at there own tracks.If i remember correctly he ended up climbing the front straight wall causing major damage and not been able to finish racing that night.

Wow! Thats awesome. Sure looks to be the same car, and explains why I never saw it. It went back to the US. Thanks for posting this, clears a lot of things up.
