In video 1 Puke. White Escort that is up Oz's bum is the 2ltr Turbo of Bruce Manon, he actually passed Oz on last lap. It was QUICK for 2ltr home built car. Poor Tony and Oxcart were not really supplied good info on any of the cars, so did a good job.

Yes, well spotted Rod. That Escort was a very quick little car. I assume this is the same Bruce Manon who now races a very fast MkII Escort in historic events? Whatever happened to his sports sedan?

And yes, the commentary is full of holes, as they suggested Manon was the one being lapped halfway into the race. And they then questioned where Roger Freeth was. But I'm guessing they had little info to work with.

I hope the person who posted this footage originally on Youtube has a copy of the Sunday race(s). The above appears to be a Saturday race. Peter Meadows Corvette, and Freeth V8 Starlet were both missing.

Fantastic! Thanks heaps Bry. I'm really enjoying this old footage. I'm sure the Meadows Corvette was involved in a big shunt at this meeting and was quite badly damaged, required a new bodyshell be fitted. Was there a third race held this weekend?

May have been that weekend?
Got tangled up with shane windelburns torana SLR5000 on the approach to the hill (rothmans, ford mountain, what ever its called). stuffed the torana (which was a grouse car)
The corvette was patched up and ran a couple of times again during that series.
Never seen it since.
