Believe you are referring to the 15p car, firstly driven by Robert Miers before he was injured, then Parkes and Anderson (possibly with 1 or 2 other guest drivers in the mix) before heading South. There was a really good story on this cars early history in an early NZDTR mag which unfortunatetly I don't have handy right now - someone may be able to scan the article or bring you up to speed with its contents

Chapman that is exactly the car I was talking about. Did not realise it was Rob Miers car. Off the top of my head it looked a lot like a car Russell Harvey 48p had at the same time (e.g. 1988 NZ Champs at Meeanee).
Great to see some pictures of the car and see if someone knows who drove it next. ;D

Well done Wal I believe you are right and from Pois description of the floor etc I would say it is definitely not the ex Parke's tank.
So the question remains is it still out there some were

Jason Redinger has one of the last Parkes flat chassis, and it is not far off returning to the track as a superstock, Jamie Bryant has another at KIhikihi, i sold one to Huntly [41h] last season, was recently for sale on trade/me. Does any one have any pics of the redinger car please, my son thinks its cool and sounds neat!!!!!! I'm pritty sure it raced at the valley on easter. |

Thanks for the pic bob.
If its ok i will copy it and give it to my young fella.
I have also been told that the guy who owned kerry remnants old car ( now bryce stiner has) has something to do with this car?
If this is so then it should be a force to be reckoned with next season, especially when you take the garry parkes suspension setup into account!!!!!
p.s. I also saw this car race at easter at the valley, seemed very quick all weekend long.
...good luck for next season 44r.
