Time now for Part 2 of this fascinating collection, compiled by Gary Clarke. This is the final installment in the collection, so i hope you guys enjoy it. Once again, lots of grass-roots stuff in here, and some very cool cars, and familiar names.
As in Part 1, please feel free to jump in and ID cars and drivers.
Here we go.....
The Jane Jags are at Warwick Farm...
The spinning Mini would most likely be Bruce Taylor. Of course, that's Pete in the Grace Bros Falcon - the 'Super Falcon' when it got tamed - and it's John Goss in the McLeod Ford Falcon.
John Goss again in the yellow Porsche during Laurie O'Neil's ownership, this was the drive that got him the spare lightweight Falcon shell from which he built the Sports Sedan.
Barry Sharp and Wayne Rogerson in the last pic.
Thanks for filling in the details Ray. Much appreciated.
It's Brian Foley's Porsche on the Causeway...
Wayne Rogerson again over the Dogleg, Peter Woodward in the Calder pic was the ASCC in the Elfin 350.
I can't place the date of that bunch of Falcons at Amaroo.
, Peter Woodward in the Calder pic was the ASCC in the Elfin 350.
Ray, that looks like an LC XU1 not an Elfin 350.
Dale.
Inded it is, but I think Ray was saying that Peter later won the ASCC in a lovely Elfin 350........Originally Posted by Dale Harvey
Yes, I believe you are correct. My mistake, I didn't read it correctly.
Dale.
some guesses if I may:
The two blue Falcons are Johnson and Goss.
The blue #34, could that be London to Sydney winning Hillman Hunter?
Would love to know driver of BL Works Mini. Could it be Don Holland?
Is the Camaro that of Graeme Blanchard?
Yes it looks like it Terry, ex-Terry Allan.
Close, but no cigar...Originally posted by librule
Indeed it is, but I think Ray was saying that Peter later won the ASCC in a lovely Elfin 350.
I was saying 'was the ASCC' as I was in a hurry to get out to work and 'ASCC' stands for 'Australian Sports Car Champion' just as much as 'Australlian Sports Car Championship.' And I didn't want to take the time to check whether that was later or earlier than the Torana.
In the meantime, Terry's guesses... the Hunter was a Series Production car which raced regularly for a year or so, never in the money, it would rarely have rated a mention in reports. The London-Sydney car was green, IIRC.
I don't know about the Mini. I am sure the EH is a Beechey lookalike, not Beechey's. And Blanchard's Camaro would be right, as would Kym Aunger with the monochrome Mustang pic further up.
And it's Niel Allen's Mustang on the trailer.
