    Note the 12th placed car was a young teenager, Tom Kendall, who went on to have a fine career in US racing. He won the GTU division in this race in his Mazda RX-7.



    (Ken Hyndman..just got a bit of a rev for doing this during my lunch and into company time ! This is
    much more important !)

    I saw the name Bruce Jenner on the list and wondered if it was THE Bruce Jenner, and according to Google it is.
    He (as she was then) drove the 7-Eleven Roush Mustang. Wow, you learn something new everyday.

    Not sure on that one. Bruce Jenner from the South Island who ran a Camaro (ex- Everybody) went to the USA and raced there for years. I think he bought factory drive with Roush before going the Porsche way later. South Island contingent will know better (Jac Mac).

    PS Bruce was known to be for the 'high jump' a couple of times back in the old days, but different jeans. (Levi I think)

    There seem to be two different Bruce Jenner racing drivers.

    Bruce Jenner from Dunedin- Ex Coppins Early Camaro, still with 'Gold' paint job & 'Ultra Tune' signage, a few years before my OSCA time. IIRC he later brought the Porsche 944? turbo and a Pontiac Firebird?, both spaceframe cars out to NZ for a Trans Am series ( about same time of Wills RX8 etc ), the two drivers swapped cars occasionally, names escape me. Got a feeling the Firebird might have stayed here in NZ- could it be the one that ended up with Ford SVO motor at one point? Paul Gentiloni might have been one driver & Jenner may have driven himself on a couple of occasions?
