    Thanks for that info Bruce. If you see him again would you mind saying Hi to him from Steve McLean (Bruce McLean's son) for me. Living in Aus now so a bit hard from here.

    He most definitely is, I spent about an hour talking to him at the Denny Hulme Festival a couple of weeks ago.

    Thanks fullnoise. As have asked Bruce 302, if you see him again would you mind saying Hi to him for me Steve McLean (Bruce's son). Living in Aus now so a bit hard from here. I am trying to picture your father inlaw Barry Pointons face but can't for the life of me. Sorry but age seems to bring on plenty of senior moments these days.

    Rod and my dad were good mates as well as competing against each other. Every time I think of Rod and all of the race meetings I was taken to by dad, I remember Jandals was always there as large as life.

    Hi Steve, I am planning on taking my HMC Camaro, along with a few other grey haired hoons and their HMC cars, to run at Lakeside and Queensland Raceway in June and July. Barry met back up with Jim Richards at the Denny Hulme Festival after 30 years, and Jim will be at the Shannons meeting we`ll be racing at over there, so I`m hoping Barry will come with us to that event, and you may get to see him there.

    Thanks fullnoise. Sorry don't mean to get off topic here on Rod's thread but that would be great. I am building a 72 Z28 Camaro for the Trans Am class myself but unfortunately doubt it will be running by then. I will be at all of the meetings though so will definately meet you and Barry if he can make it. Which Camaro is yours?

    The red `68 Camaro #41.
