This week’s Terry Marshall-supplied BLAST FROM THE PAST comes from Ruapuna where John Osbourne leads Rod McElrea and Bob Slade.

Walton is running […]

This week’s BLAST comes from BayPark during the 1979/80 season of the 2.0-litre SHELLSPORT series. Grant Aitkin leads from Bryce Platt and Roy Harrington. Thanks to Terry Marshall!

Okay, we have seen pics, but we haven’t seen (or heard) the thing in all its rubber-melting action until now. Here driver (and host of TopGear USA) Tanner Foust removes some rubber from the GRC Beetle’s tyres and delivers a […]
