    In the mean time - USA legend Gene Welch raced in New Zealand during the 70's. He had many very cool cars, I think that this one might be a shortened Camaro on a Sprintcar chassis.
    From Jac Jac's collection - a John Sharpe photograph.

    Awesome photos of the Camaro.

    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.

    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.
