sorry to throw a spanner in the works but around 1983/84 Grahame Jackson from Wangnui had new Kuriger build, he moved to Whangarei and raced out of Auckland. I have photos of this car when Ross Willetts drove it. There is a couple of photos on Ric's Stockcar 14a site maybe he can transfer them over.


Kevin Jamieson

i remeber this car , used to park next to dutchy in the pits near one of the chain link fence gates , was when i first helped dutchy

[TimSOZ]

It certainly looked like a Kuriger at the time, and I would say that judging by the design it's more like Tippetts no 1 & 2 than Joblin's no 3, so it would slot in there??

While youre on stabs in the dark Observer....Cliff Henderson (71n) bought one of Jason Moirs chassis' not sure it is number 23 though, Autopete can probably confirm.

And of course number 36(Ewers) is in the for sale section now

Correct there Flame,Cliff H did by what was left of a very bent and buckled ex Dutchy/Moir Kuriger but the way that Cliff drove it,finished it off for ever and she is all gone!!


Cliff H had also bought eventually the ex Barry Podjursky chassis that Jason ran before getting the ex Coast Kuriger.Ran that old nail for a bit and a relation bought it and ran,very briefly,as 22n.Name of Eggers???
I posted on this one recently but cant find it now.This chassis was bought by Mark Beale and he used the rear bumper and bottom rails to start a new car that went to Blenheim but its yet to surface.

Mr 'O' I think the name of the guy you're thinking of is Steniford or Stenie or something,has a Waterblasting deal on the Coast.
Hes a great sponser of Steve Thompson??? Same bloke???

He bought the car direct off Dutchy but very rarely raced it so when the Moirs took it over it had been sitting for along time.
Jason and crew fitted a Toyota V8 after the rover had a go at cleaning out the bank account a couple of times!!

Paul Demanser/Chris Ash 14p-Toyota V8
Robert Anderson 89p-Holden V6

89p that Robert Anderson drives now? I saw that car being built by Paul Demanser from new - thats the one that had too much drive and wouldn;t go around corners, and he kept blowing diffs and gearboxs, so over the off season he chopped 100mm out of the front end and it handled. He won the memorable teams race against wellington in it, on the final lap he was pushed over the line by clive elliot after he broke something to win it.

Well down Pete, Stenie it is. Staunch supporter of speedway, hopefully we see him back out on the track.

[The Godfather]

Ah Pete the hot weathers getting to the memory, your post was on my thread, theres a pic of the car in the background in the last photo of the ones you scanned for me. MY memory however tells me it was Brendan Eggers. ;D

Sorry observer you are correct. It is Robs other car and i have corrected myself

Just a quick note to say this subject has not been forgotten, there is a lot of hard research going on at the moment, and I know TimS will have some updates in a few weeks when he gets a chance to go through his files.

Not sure there are photos of every car with every driver, but it sure seems like it with amount of photos I have unearthed recently.

I know there is more out there particually from the early 90's period and since around 2002 when there were a few standard stocks (now stockcars) built.
Lets see if we can complete the list and then get a history going from there...
The challange has be laid down! :)

As you can see I have updated this list and deleted my first message.As things progress ill keep updating the list and as so long as it doesnt upset anyone if one of the moderators could delete the threads with the extra little bits of info once ive update the list it will save clutering up the thread..

Another Update!!!!

Some Information Required About the following Cars

*125s Rover v8 , Bruce Williams , John Booker , Neil Lovejoy??
Is this a Kuriger? More History required before it is added to the list.

*432v Toyota v8 , Jim Stewart - Is this a kuriger? Having raced against it in the late 90's I have my doubts. Can someone please confirm?

*85h Wades , Nissan v8 -Im Sure PK Built this in 2000? Can Someone please confirm?

*The First Car Joe Faram raced (Ford v8) who I believe Jeff See 14s now has.Some more history please before it is added to the list. Is this the #12 Ex Urlich /James car???

Just thought I'd bump this up for all the young uns and not so young uns who might want to see a bit of history. and of course some great photos of all the Kurigers over the years....will some of them anyway.

Might be worthy of a pin at some stage Pall mall?

[pallmall]

Yes, it is.

I have been continuing to file photos away of the Kurigers while doing the Gordge stuff.
Maybe a few Kuriger photo files will get put on here soon just to do something different. There are also many gaps to fill in many of the cars histories, although it seems that a little bit of info comes along every week in various discussions.

[The Godfather]

While I had this on the screen, this was left off No-20.
Dave Neiman, who had it before going to Brett Larsen

[Morpheous]

In the above list Jimmy 82 has Kuriger #39 the ex Paul Wade / Lance Ashton machine, this was not built by Kuriger, it was a copy, copied by Shaun Wade off the other car the Wades had.

I thought that error had been sorted in a later post, but anyway it is not on the Kuriger spread sheet instigated by TimS that I am continually updating with the input from Jimmy82 and lots of other Macgorians.

[Devilracer]

The #32 car that Gary Ellis got off BR is still in his shed for sale, would make a good std stock for someone.
