Went there in the weekend,man it has changed.Originally Posted by Go Slideways
Bought my HK Kingswood from Forest Lake Promotions- a.k.a. Black/Scott.
last time i was there with a friend and his racing pink AP5 Valiant.
Now its a real lake again with swans......
Awesome to see pics of the Camaro. Thanks for posting. Its amazing how beat up these things got. Back when speedway saloons were real cars, seeing a near-new Camaro on the dirt must have been like seeing a space ship.
Great photo of the Peter Woods Camaro next to Wayne Andrews Mustang not sure who took photo was found on the web.
Cool photo of the Robert Brown Monaro photo found on the web
The Peter Woods Mustang that went through a few owners before ending up buried on Boultons farm racing the Torana of Don Black. image found on the web.
Norm Butler in Camaro entering the track,image found on the web.
The Wayne Andrews Mustang image found on the web
Looks like it was this car 26p John McIntyre.
These are awesome photos ^^. I never cease to be amazed when I see cars that would now be quite valuable converted for speedway racing. I have to assume most were wrecked road cars. Back in the 1970s, Mustangs and Camaros (and even Monaros) were extremely rare in NZ.
First time I've ever seen the Norm Butler Camaro. Great looking car.
And yes, I believe the John McIntyre Camaro is the same car later raced by Ian Easton. His son Shane now builds the hugely successful HyperMac race cars in Cromwell.
Thank you for putting up my all time favourite mustang, that colour scheme was bold at the time..has got me thinking.
Wow, that is just so cool! Awesome job.
And here's what he did to it when he first purchased/raced it - would have been 1973, before returning it to the glorious blue and white for the 1974/75 season ..... (again my 1/18th scale model of it)
No-one seems to know what ever happened to the car after that. A friend of mine's brother pit crewed on it and apparently they raced it at Manfield at some stage ??? But that was a looooooong time ago !
I do intend to make a version in the McConnachie colours - #3, white interior, no bonnet scoop or front spoiler.
