Re: Ross' first and current race cars

Yes thats me with hands on hips, you clever chaps. Boy the girls were chasing me in those days and I was after them too. #29 doesn't seem to be around anymore, it did run at Teretonga quite a bit and was affectionately called "The Bug" It was not a front running car in fact it was usually placed last in any race. Three of us were in on the ownership at that time Graeme Walker (currently air traffic controller in Invercargill), Kevin Murdoch (pictured in the photo, currently living near Queenstown) and myself. It felt fast driving it due to the open cockpit but also due to the Russ Noble seat, a piece of aluminium.As you tried to get going it was almost impossible to stop kangaroo hopping as your bottom slid backwards and forwards caused by the inability to be smooth on the accelerator.That photo would have been taken circa 1967. Never noticed before but I seem to be stuck in the 20's with my car numbers.I'll get tyre temps off pyrometer tomorrow Jac
