    Thanks Sean - fantastic photos

    Great work Sean, these are really cool. Thanks to Kevin for sharing these. Interesting to see a colour photo of the ex-Red Dawson Camaro in post #32, when it was owned by Don Peddie and Allan Dick, and driven by Kevin Haig, with Zephyr Heaters sponsorship. I believe Ken Smith raced this car once for Peddie/Dick also???

    1978

    Ok so 1978, there are some lost cars and other very interesting visitors here. The greats, this is noteable after last weekends win for Nico Rosberg. 1978 visitors to Teretonga including Keke, Bobby Rahal, Danny Sullivan, Larry Perkins and future touring car great Pierre Dieudonne standing at the back of the Ehrlich. I will stand to be corrected with this, but Dieudonne was, like Paul Frere a Belgian journalist as well a driver.

    Post #50 shows a young Mark Scott (and I think Ron McMillan) changing engines with the help of a large piece of wood.

    Mark was Chief Mechanic for James Hunt in his Championship winning year and went on to build the Ridley and Scott Le Mans cars.

    11/05/12 Would you believe Riley and Scott Le Mans cars. Got my film directors mixed up!

    Did this car have ground-effects? The wide nose and side pods have that look about them.

    Believe they were among first to use to some extent steve. This or sister car ended up with Kenny i think.

    Mark Scott was a bloody nice guy, wondered were he went.

    Thanks guys for sharing photos fantastic.
