Clark Proctors car ended up going to Dion ,then Peter Boticka(spelling wrong),then Rick Campbell, then he sold it to one of his pitcrew from memory, and a copy was made by Carlos Chesnutt and Rick Drove that over the last few seasons as 17a/v.The copy is now #94a

I THINK but dont quote me, that Dutchys car went to Joel Pitcher then onto Bones Zehnder at Stratty where it runs a Holden V6.
Would that be Dutchys last car and it is a Kuriger?

Its actually running a Chev V6. Imported from the states and built at Hawera Automotive.

No idea what year this is from but suspect that it is earlier than 93.

Approx 1987-88 from memory with "Squash-a-Spacey!!" on the leading edge of the wing.Still has the h/r thing going on with the number so Huntly hadnt quite opened yet.
Chev Powered and was the car he had before Dutchy himself went to the Malaquin built/Rover V8 Spaceframe that is now in ChCh somewhere.
Theres the old Buzzard himself in red looking like a quazi Santa Claus!!! ;D

hi craig.Pallmall is scanning some of my pics at the moment.Inc would be a few of the car i think is yours when it was 1st raced

[craig]

thanks wayne, that would be good to see, mind you there is not much left of the original chassis, only the main chassis rails and front bumper (if that was original !!)
Maybe I might have to email photos to pallmall and get him to post it.

ps, check check your pms

[pallmall]

I will post them once the scanning is finished, too much speedway at the moment to get a good day at it!
Hard choice, Rotorua Saturday night or scan photos, sorry Rotorua wins.

Yep, email the photos and I will put them up for you, email address is in my profile.

And, I do have photos of most of Dutchys cars and the Clark Proctor ones, give me a bit of time to sort them out.

[Saloon29s]

Photos of Craig's ex Dutcy, Malaquin built car as it is now. And I must say it looks very tidy.

[King James]

Nice tidy chassis there Speedy, Thanks Pall Mall, any help and photos will be greatly appriciated. Im mainly after 7m Procter photos, but both drivers would be great. Thanks again.

She had a Holden V8 in it the last time I saw her here in Nelson.
You have done an awesome job and really looks like you actually give a S hit about the apppearance.Good on ya Matey!!!
Not much left of the original rocket though eh??

Bit like a 20 year old axe.Different Head,different handle but still the same old axe eh??

Again Well Done!!!!!!!!

[craig]

Thanks for the comments pete. I do try to keep my racecars looking good. Well at least when they first turn up that is! When I raced my commodore streetstock we made sure it always turned up looking tidy week in week out. Called pride, or maybe my high standards

Yep, the old girl still has the 253 power but the one in the car had funny shaped bores in it, they were oval !
Got the spare one that came with it getting done up but bought a 240cu 253 from Rotorua 2 weeks ago to get it up and going sooner, were lowering it into place this arvo.
