This week’s BLAST comes from Ruapuna in 1996, where the ’96 TraNZam champion, Andy McElrea, roars through the second ess in the mighty AC Delco Camaro. Many thanks to Terry Marshall!

We head to Wigram for this week’s BLAST FROM THE PAST courtesy of Terry Marshall. Here we see Alec Dickies and Neil Doyle’s Anglia Corvette leads Don Halliday’s wheel hopping Escort out of the Loop corner! Thanks to Terry Marshall for the pic!
Here’s a quick bonus BLAST FROM THE PAST in the form of a great advertisement for the Volkswagen Beetle that proves that, not only do they not make ’em like that anymore, they thankfully don’t try and sell ’em like that either…
We head to Wigram in 1972 for this week’s BLAST – Jim Richards at his brilliant best three-wheeling the Carney Escort out of Hanger bend and around towards the Control Tower bend! Thanks to Terry Marshall for the pic!
We head to Levin in 1971 for this week’s BLAST FROM THE PAST. David Oxton’s F5000 Lotus 70 Boss Ford leads Chris Amon’s March 701 Cosworth DFV. Both cars were bought to NZ by the Granatelli STP concern. Thanks to Terry Marshall for the great pic!

Plus that whole drug […]
We stay with the mighty OSCA series again for this week’s BLAST FROM THE PAST – this time from Levels at Timaru. It is the 1975/6 season and Laurie Bruce’s ’67 TransAm Mustang leads Clyde Collins’ V8 Cortina. Our favourite part of this pic? It’s gotta be the cheeky Mustang badge proudly displayed on the grille of […]
Tucked up the back of the Paris Motor Show in Hall 8 was the “Cars and Fashion” show. Or something like that – it was rather unhelpfully all in French, so we are a bit unclear on some of the cars and what purpose they served by being there – but they were all gorgeous […]
