Title: Old touring car pics. Post by: customFC on April 11, 2008, 11:38:51 PM Ok, just revving folks up for Orange 2010.
Here's a few pics of the early days. Warwick Farm 1961. (http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/8458/holdengridwf61wq3.jpg) (http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/9152/holdenrace2wf61ju7.jpg) (http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/6858/holdenracewf61zs5.jpg) This is Gnoo Blas in Feb 1960. Pic of the pit area showing the sports cars, but check out the spectator cars over the road. (http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/4425/jwfgbfeb60qf3.jpg) Another Gnoo Blas pit shot. FC sedan as tow car. The D type Jag had road rego, how cool would that have been in the day. (http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/3186/dfinchdtypegbfeb60zw4.jpg) This isn't touring cars, but rather Port Wakefield October '59 Gold Star meeting. Check out that FE standard wagon sitting next to the starting grid.

This pic from Longford. (http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/9581/morgan700ve8.jpg) Regards Alex Title: Re: Old touring car pics. Post by: smithy on April 12, 2008, 05:40:45 AM great pics alex

Great photos Alex, I have no idea were you find these I do a search or ten and come up with Sweet FA. Cheers Jim Title: Re: Old touring car pics. Post by: customFC on April 12, 2008, 11:42:40 PM Hey Jim
You will be excused from the high pants if you are wearing 1 of those umbrella hats the guy in the background is sporting on his head. ;) Regards Alex Title: Re: Old touring car pics.
