G'day All

Every now and then you come across something that has been hidden for years and once discovered, needs to be shared.

This is such a time when I came across a fella that showed me a photo album that is a treasure trove of saloon car racing in Australia.
He actually took some of the photos.

I scanned about 170 items but found 32 that were of significance.

First lot is of early Brock

Having a coffee break and note packet of ciggies in his leg pocket AND not forgetting his race shoes



His A30 having a break in the back paddock



An odd looking A30 amongst the sport cars on the track



A few years later and once again we see Peter leading the GT Falcons of Alan Moffat and Denis O'Brien



I don't think the first photo of Brock having a coffee is around the era of the A30 but could be a few years later.

Regards ........................... Barry

PS A thank you to Gary (LC69GTR) for help with the pics

Remove the watermark if you like but the photos are low file size and will not come up that good in print.
These photos belong to someone else hence the copyright.

The photos were scanned in low res and returned within 1 day as per promised to the owner.

I don't break my promise.

Regards .................. Barry

I like that last shot. Shows how Brocky got the most out of the cars by pushing them to the edge.

Good job Barry, keep em comin.
