NZ Castrol GTX Racing in the 70's

[Steve Emson]

This is possibly 1974-75. The Castrol GTX series was in 3 classes. I was in the small class which was Fiat 128's and a couple of 127's, The middle class was Fiat 124 coupes and the big class was mainly V8's. we had good fields in those days and very good crowd attendance. This photo was taken at Wigram when I took this car down to race the local gun, which was one of the Sprague boys.

This is my Dad, Ralph Emson in the Fiat 124 coupe

This will be 1975-76. I was again in the small class with Dennis Marwood and Bob Homewood. this is the GP meeting at Puke, top of Rothmans for the young chickens that never saw the infamous chicanes.

This photo, possibly 1973. My first race car and I was still at school. I think this was still called Castrol GTX racing, however I can't remember....................must be old of something.
