The no 24 car is the Grecian Gold Roy Griffiths GT-HO Ph 1 and I am guessing the HO behind is a Brambles Red car but not one of the factory race cars,don,t who the driver is-Ellis and Stephen come in please! The Pacer is possibly the Tony Paul car. Tony had a road re-surfacing business called Queensland Roads and Pavements (QRP) and Roy was one of his employees. The HO was Roys daily driver and weekend racer and he ran the car in the 1969 HF500.

Pete... I think you will find car 22 is John Harris... with both cars entered in "The Lakeside 1500" event for Production Touring Cars, on 29th November, 1970. As for the Valiant Pacer behind, its a bit hard to tell without a number, but could also be either of the Geoghegan brothers, who each had an Austral Motors Pacer, or Alan Whitchurch, driving for P.J. Motors... and based on the sign on the back of the car, I think it is likely to be the latter. :-)
