Yep, its January 84 isn't it? Year after the Apple Car Co?
Quite possibly 84.
I was making a wild guess at the date
84 GP Ken had Apple Car Co. as sponsor/entrant
From 84 Programme, this page easier to download than GP page but same grid.
Yep you are right, it'd be January 87, the Jones car is the one that lost the wheel at the hairpin in Wellington.
Intersting to note is that Riley Hopkins still owns the same ralt. Has not run in a few years !
Hi gang. No seaqnmac27 the car that lost the wheel in Wellington was A SWIFT with BDA Jamie A
I think the Chevron that Haskett is shown as driving was the ex Lawrence B49
Driven by Charlie Thomasen from time to time, and later owned by Charlie / Barry Thomasen?
The B49 is being rebuilt by us at the moment for next season, has anyone got any photos of car in Rothmans colours from when Graeme Lawrence ran it in Malaysia. Barry Leitch.
Barry - do you have an email address for GHL? If not, let me know.
Hi Michael, no I don't.
Beautiful photos BMCBOY, please keep them coming
I agree Habu - just stunning.
Is #17 Brett Riley in AB's DART? If so, they were a good looking thing. It was hard to make a better looking car than an RT4, but the DART sure went close.
Totally agree, they are great photos BMCBOY,
It was a great era of racing to be involved in......... interesting season working with Ross Cheever, from Davy Jones pancing him in the main street of Auckland, cobbling an engine together out of bits at Randell Edgell's for the GP meeting at Puke (which he won), to fitting a new tub before the last round as he tore up the floor running off the track at Manfield, and winning the series.
Here's a picture of Randell explaining how he did the job..... but Davy doesn't look too interested
Davy looks more interested in someone else................
Happy Days!!
