At Steve's suggestion I've started a new thread on George Smith who is best known for the GeeCeeEss but was also involved in earlier racing cars and later racing power boats.

George was involved with NZ motor sport from the late 1920s to the late 1960s and with a series of cars from the ex-works Austin Seven single seater (Rubber Duck) through to the Chrysler Firepower V8 powered Alfa Bimotore he was one of the more successful drivers.

He was most famous for his GeeCeeEss which he and Tom Sheehan (father of "Jandels" Sheehan) built. George also had a period as the Western Springs promoter and although he had a rough and ready style he was successful at wide range of motorsport.

Here are some photos to start off the thread :





As good as George was in the GeeCeeEss - here he is about to be caught and passed by Ron Roycroft in the Alfa.
