I thought I knew every inch of puke in those days but can't figure out where on the circuit is the shot that has the Datsun and Torana in it? great photos by the way!

Photo of the Francevic Torana XU1. I am pretty sure Robbie rallied this car. That will explain the mudfaps etc. If i remember correctly we were all standing in a forest somewhere waiting to start a stage. Robbie shouted out to Jimmy Richards who was also XU1 mounted, some challenge of how he was going to beat him in this next stage. Of course I was too busy worrying about my own thing to find out how they went. Funny some of the little snippets of things that get filed away. Of course at that time I was not to know i would have a season of mudguard banging in Shellsport with Robbie in the future. In my opinion Francevic was a very talented guy, and i rate him on my list of NZ's best. Of course Jimmy is on that list also!
I was going through a pile of old negatives the other day and came across some club circuit photos.
Amazing who used to come out for an afternoons fun those days for a bit of "testing"
