The Grant/Mitchell EH Holden heads eventual overall and Class C race winners Jane/Reynolds along pit straight.
A couple of oddballs. The Bryan Thomson/Bruce Wilson NSU Prinz leads the Alton Boddenberg/Digby Cooke Simca Aronde. Thomson would go on to race predominantly V8 based machinery over the coming decades, a world away from the tiny NSU.
Great shot here of the Ron Hodgson/John French Cortina GT, which finished 4th in Class C, and 5th overall. Hodgson would go on to become the main backer for Bob Morris during the 70s, which produced a Bathurst win in 1976, and ATCC title in '79.
Battle of the babies. The Tony Simmons/Mike Champion Viva dives inside the Midge Bosworth/Peter Williamson Imp. Williamson would go on to enjoy plenty of class success over the next couple of decades. As for Tony Simmons, I believe this is the same Tony Simmons who started the successful Simmons wheel company, who produce lightweight competition and road wheels. Can anyone confirm this for me?
