As I said earlier, this is not how I remember that race. I just checked with Dad, and he said the same. He said he doesn't ever remember those 2 team cars being in front of him. Almost certain the report has some facts mixed up. The two cars did however collide at the chicane.

The drama in this division came in the second heat. Michael Draper in one of the Reidrubber Fiat 124s was leading into Rothmans Chicane on the first lap, but spun in a cloud of tyre smoke on the exit. Most of the following cars missed him - but his team mate Bill Anderson in the other Reidrubber car didn't, hitting Draper's Fiat in the left-rear quarter panel. Draper tried to struggle on but pitted after a lap with a buckled wheel, while Anderson couldn't restart owing to geysers in the radiator. This left Ralph Emson to get through for his second win of the day, and as in the first heat Phil Henley was second.

That's Henley in car 34 on the outside of the front row in the grid shot.
