BLAST FROM THE PAST: The Benson & Hedges 500

July 9, 2015

For this week’s BLAST FROM THE PAST we head to Pukekohe in 1973 for the Benson & Hedges 500 meeting. Pictured is the grid for the Mayfield Filter 100 – Geoff Sutherland’s E49 Charger with Norris Miles’ ex-John Goss Ford Falcon GTHO alongside.

The glamour entry of Tim Bailey in the EUROCARS Ferrari Dino nestles in behind. The race was won by Robbie Francevic’s Torana XU1.

Many thanks to Terry Marshall for the great pic!
