Steve38 the center motored stockcar of Garry Bean im pretty sure was a Mac chassis, the 1 Wanye Richards raced as a superstock b4 selling it 2 Garry who converted it 2 a stockcar. I think it was sold up Gisborne ways after that.
I think most of them have been covered but was just woundering is the 15w Darren Gray car in the last post the same car that 66c Zane Chinney just sold??
Is the 52w Gaskin car now 26a Lance Randalls car??
P.S that car was great brought the likes of Darren and Remnant 19m to fame.

just though mine may be one as it is very similar and neville said he bought it off darren gray and rebuilt the front end about 3-4 yrs ago, that 15 car is similar, too bad there isnt a data base of chassis out there, would help a lot of people out as to where their cars were built  |

I know Darren has built most of his cars himself, they've all been of mac design, maybe yours is one of these?

Somebody mentioned this one, Kerry always impressed me with his driving in this car, maybe his style suits a good handling under powered car. He came and won a few bigger races in Auckland against some strong opposition and seemed to be at every big meeting in the upper North Island. 19H Kerry Remnant 1998.  Is it a TMac car? |

I think kerry's last two cars were darren grays old cars. As for 54w it is a Kuriger but the front was redesigned by Tmac.

Yep the 19h car of Kerry Remnants showen in pallmalls last post was the 15w Darren Gary car shown in an earlier post by TimS and is a tmac design as far as i no.
15w/19h/??/66c
Yep Wayne thats right the 26a car im pretty sure is the ex Grame Gaskin car 52w which then went to Wayne Huston 52r and ended up now with 26a Randell and as far as i no is a tmac chassis.
52w/52r/??/26a
Hope this helps Cheers Kessa

Yes, Nevile Harrods the ex Greame Wood 8a Car was brought out of Auckland in 1986 by Darren GrAy ( why do people keep spelling it with an E), This was his first car witch was a b grade- his first race win came 2nd race first meeting, next it was onto a a-grade, for this he brought the 75r car off someone? in about 1988, he ran that for one season then brought a very modern for its time 7n Sam Woodfords Car and ran that between 1989 and 1992, he had a couple of achievements in this car, 2nd North Island 1989, and the awesome win at the Auckland Teams in 1992, with passing Frank Irvine 10m before the Finnish. Next was the first T-MAC flat Chassis, built by Darren. in 1994 represented the NZ Team, then 3nz in 1996. Then in 1997 built his 2nd T-MAc Chassis, with another teams victory in Auckland in 1997 and again 3nz in 1998 and was also part of the winning team at Palmy North that year,
Then Injury forced the Sale of that in 1999, its now 51a.
now the new car is a standard stock running a holden v6, we first brought the steel in 2003 and was finally finished half was through 06.
Just a little bit of history for ya,
i would put in photos but i don't know how.
