Interesting little snippet here is Arman Aharn in one of the Chocolate Slab Rovers wanted me to "shunt" him back to the pits in Wellington. Ha I told him it would be great exposure for my sponsors but he would have been excluded for getting outside assistance. First met the Late and Great Tom Wilkinshaw and what a Jack the Lad he was....had a lot of good laughs with him. His co driver Win Percy was so helpful with tips for our Toyota as he has previously raced one......great pix. Kind Regards, Tony Rutherford.
I always enjoy your stories Tony! You've certainly enjoyed a lot of racing over the years. When you say you and Brian Friend raced the #44 Corolla which changed to the Pinepac Mustang, did you and Brian race the second Pinepac Mustang at Wellington? Would this have been one of the two 1987 races?
