OK heres ago, L - R, 2nd row Vigurs Cortina V8 Osorne Capri V8, 3rd row Learmonth Holden V8 Warwick Grey Viva 6 Grindley Mazda RX3,
4th row Munt Capri V8 Algie Alfetta V8, 5th row Addis Charger V8 Kennard Cortina V8 friend Capri V8, 6th row O'Brien Capri V8 thats all can work out.
In practice Rob Kennard had big shunt into bank coming onto back straight and did alot of damage, on conversation with members of the infamous Matamata Fridge Club Rob was told to "follow us over the hill we can fix that". When they arrived in Matamata Kennard said "thought you said just over the hill". Any way the car was dispatched to the boy's panel shop, stripped, pulled, beaten, painted and back together by 4.30 the next morning. Kennard and team could not believe it. There were a few nerv settling ales had the clubrooms as the work progressed. We all ended up with Kennard t-shirts after that and it was the start of a North-South Island relationship with alot of good fellows and fellowess's. It's a great sport for meeting people, some good some not but you sort that out.

Definitely correct on all the South Island cars.

Ian Munt, Rob Kennard, Ian Algie and Graeme Addis were a bit further down that grid than I'd have expected that day, Kennard possibly due to the practice incident, but the others?

Well done Rob! I can barely even see some of the cars further down the grid, so pretty impressed you could pick them out.

Interesting to see Neil Allport in the Mainfreight Escort just behind Trevor Crowe in shot #2 post 21.

I think Allport raced that Escort with the Shellsports guys on occasion. That sports sedan/OSCA race looks like a combination including Shellsport and production saloons, as many of these races were then.

Yes he did on occasion. The late Possum Bourne also had a couple of dabbles over the xmas periods in his Subarus.
