Red Dawson's DeKon Chevy Monza 1001

[aussiemonza]

Thats it Steve, there was a race, I will check its either Wigram or Teretonga where Rothmans tried to prevent Red competing, British American Tobacco being the parent of Rothmans and Peter Stuyvesant amongst other brands. Rowan, there are 3 articles there, do you want scans of everything I have on Red and the Monza?

Re the covered signs, you and Steve are correct, confirmed by Bill Minty, the meeting was sponsored by Peter Styvesant and the biggest news of the meeting was the Monza's of Red and Moff. Red was jammed between the Promoter and Marlboro and as we see from the images the compromise was to "roughly" cover up the Marlboro. As a past marketing person, I reckon Red and Marlboro would have received more publicity due to the stouch than had the promotor and BAT just copped the signage!

Scans of enything you have would be fantastic thanks seaqnmac27. Much appreciated.
