Vastly underrated effort....but we were watching, mate....
Photo was taken in 1996, yes it is a cropped photo. The history of the car in Ford Motor Co ownership after Le Mans kind of depends on who and what you read.
Thanks for the correction, Jamie. Don't know where I got the blower idea from. Did you try one on the Cooper-Jag?
Nice to see you here, by the way. Welcome
Yes good to see Jamie here ,A huge and I believe underated talent both on the driving and the mechanical front ,and a hard and worthy competitor ,one of the kind of people that I feel NZ motor racing is really about
And Sid is stored in a shed in Auckland awaiting rebuild (along with a mountain of other rebuilds).
BRY 3500 Yes it is all in the name No1 STLL. IN. DEBT. No2 SOMTHING. I. DID. The real real answer?? some day if I meet you I will tell as it is too funny to put in print .Jamie
Dave McKinney Hi dave yes we did have one on the Cooper man what A beest .Didnt put it on SID as HD5 gearbox was prob not up to it Jamie
Jamie put it in Yards and Yarns ,nothing is too funny for there ,come to think of it you must be able to add a couple of good ones to that thread as well
Jamie, as Bob said, we can cope with just about anything here. Welcome to the site, by the way. Nice to have you here.
Jamie and Sid got to run with some distinguished company this day
Ok here is another who ,what, photo from that 71 Christmas Bay Park meeting I need to confirm for the last part of a jigsaw I am working on at the moment
Not in the programme (as you may have already worked out) but according to the notes I took at the time it was a bloke who was racing a Camaro with a number one lower, ie, Rod Coppins
Hard to read, but the stick-on signage on the front guard appears to read "Hillsdene Motors."
Maybe Don Harper can confirm...
Thanks Gd 66 ,that is sort of what /where I got to with my reckoning ,142 was a number that was not taken in the program so yes I though 141 and 142 that sort of fell into place ,I was living in the South Island at that time so it makes figuring out things a bit harder ,actually don't also take the programmes as gospel ,I have found at least four meetings when I was not in the program,and I know I was not a late entry and have recently found another when I ran two different cars at the same meeting ,and my name is spelt in two different ways and have me coming from two different places ,but I put both the entries in at the same time ,it makes it hard later on when you are trying to unravel things
Well there you go Bob, I often reckoned there was 2 of you, 1 can not get into that much trouble.
Bob Homewood Never seen that photo dont even rember that race looks like ime trying to keep out of the way [prob scared shitless] Jamie
looks to me like you are on the racing line using every inch of tarmac Jamie..
