-Dave Evans.. Legend -Kerry podjursky.. Legend -Murray long.. Raced in alot of teams champs and always put it all on the line. -Dave roiguard.. Just because of the amount of teams champs he's raced in. -Eddie Hawkins.. Cause man he was good to watch and always put himself and car on the line -Dale ewers.. Cause he just never gives up no matter how his teams going
There's plenty more team champs legends that deserve this but these 6 are my opinion..

Kerry Podjursky = Best tank gunner in the country, not many people get past KP Brendan Higgins = He is a teams racing legend Dave Roiguard = The man had big ba**s Tony Mac = Building a top car that has been in so many teams races and is still one of the quickest cars in the country Murray Long = Been doing it for years and is still got it Dave Evens = Before my time but from videos I have seen, hes a legend
A few others that come to mind for a reason or two,
Barry Podjursky, Kerry Remmnant, Paul Demanser, Eddie Hawkins, Peter Rees, Trevor Mason or Darren Gray

A very hard task to pick a few from a number of worthy candidates. Guys that come to mind. Clark Proctor ....Awesome teams racer and one of a number of busters that made huge leaps in terms of quality of machinery and legendary screaming V8. Barry Podjursky... Great evader when leading and hit like a bull if he wasn't..... If you sat anywhere near his father at teams champs...you'd get a constant.....Goooo Barry from a proud Dad whenever the scrapper were in action. Eddie Hawkins.....Put everything on the line.....amazing battles between Wildcats and Rebels in a golden era for both teams. Tony Mac....brilliant reader of a race and will do whatever it takes to win..... Lyall Rumney....A thorn in the side of any of his opponents.

Tony Mac, Barry podjursky, Dave Evans, Clark proctor, Pat westbury, Ian king. All pretty self explanatory. The reason I put Ian King in the is he actually changed teams racing for being not allowed to pull straight out in front of cars anymore

Frank Irvine,Neil McCord,Chris Brittan,Steve Burley,Murray Hobbs and Fast Eddie (sorry if mis-spelled names) Reason being that through my child hood these guys always featured in epic teams races i watched and often went home without a voice (which mum and dad loved lol)

Dave Evans, Kerry Podjursky, Tony Mac, Eddie Hawkins, John Mercer, Clark Proctor; that's my initial six.
But future inductions could see them joined by other names like Dale Ewers, Scott Miers, Kerry Remnant, Barry Hunter, Shane Penn, Murray Hobbs, Murray Long, Frank Irvine and many, many others. Even thinking about it brings back untold memories of some amazing drivers and some unbelievable races over the years.

Kerry Remmnant as I am told he has the record for most teams champs competed in. correct me if I am wrong. If we are talking the Palmy teams then Murray Long has done one more, but certainly agree with your choice, an excellent teams racer.
