Thats when the rules were changed to 1200 x 600mm wing sides only from the old rule of any size you like. Mr Kuriger came up with the stepped deal for Cliff Frosts first Kuriger and Dr Johns as well.  Wasnt long before a whole heap of them were out there........ But as usual something 'different' got banned!!  |

The Scrappers of the early nineties were in a class off there own at the time, no doubt !
But how would they go against the Infamous Todd & Pollock Busters that racked up around 20 odd teams races unbeaten, or even the present Panthers ?
Geez imagine the carnage !

I'm sure a lot of the older folk on here will agree with me on the Pall Mall stockcar team. They were a bit before my day but they made history and when this subject on best teams racers ever come up in my family, its always the Pall Mall team!

Pretty sure 74 is John Mercer. Funny you should say that cause I had to toss..... a coin ..... to decide which of the two names to put down. |

Interestingly 13S of Keith Simpson is the first Murray Gordge built stockcar and Keith's original "Gurney Eagle" engined stockcar, it was the second season of racing for it, "Loose Broose's" KZ7S is in its first season,
