    Greg,
    I only took 1 photo of a Formula Vee car that day. I think it is an Elfin. Could it possibly be you ?
    I had never been that close to a race track before with a car coming towards me. I got so excited I almost dropped my camera on the track !
    I hope you can recognize the car in the photo. That would be great. Thanks for sharing this race information.

    Waiting to take on any challengers is one of my all-time favorites, the Pete Geoghegan 1967 GTA Mustang

    Frank Matich entered his new McLaren M 10 B # 400-10-2. I think this was the first outing with the Repco Holden 5.0 litre V8 engine.
    It certainly was great to watch him drive on this short circuit. It proved to be a winning combination as Frank won the Australian Grand Prix in Nov. 1970 driving this car at Warwick Farm. Starting there from pole and setting fastest lap about sums it up as a job well done !
