RB's last harris built car was the one with the Rocker type rear suspension. The Millienium car??? Not too sure if all that rear suspension deal was still on it when McCall made his brief but rather impressive appearances in Modifieds??? This will be interesting to find out where it leads..........  |

I don't know about RB's rocker arm car, but somebody who comes on Macgors has the ex McLaren car, North of Auckland I think. They contacted me for photos about a year ago.

I think you may have that the wrong way around. The RB/McCall car was the rocker car, I am sure the Haigh car was not. Will have to dig out my photos to double check. Here is the RB car at his last NZ Champs.   |

Yes Corey Haigh's car was a rocker car also. I think he got it before RB did.

Yeah matey,but devilracer said his car he has now was the 1992 chassis and I had just found a photo of it when RB was at the Glen. Off track a wee bit but by looking at the posts the actual car in question has been revealed thanks to Mr Pallmall.  |

I know hers was an ex RB Harris. |

the car in Autopetes post is the car i have, this being confirmed by RB, as it then went to colin entwisle before going to wellington.
I wasnt sure if his last car was rocker armed, but photos dont lie.
The chassis i have will be cut up if nobody wants to buy it as we already have 2 cars and dont have the room for a third.

Be a shame to cut THAT car up as she has a real history.  As for the Rocker arm deal,that was not the best car RB ever had but he was still a force to be reckoned with as he carried that car more than the other way around.  Any news on RB doing a resto on the CAE Sprintcar/Gremlin Mod that carried him to so many sucsesses before the all emcompassing Harris chassis era? |

Sadly this is what happens to the majority of racecars and its only when the like of the Historic Guys reserecting the old cars again that we realise what we have lost!!  The Old Midgets thread with all of Pallmalls photos from Aussie is true testiment to peoples hard work but for all the cars that are saved,just how many get lost forever??? If just each of us managed to be able to save one old car from any class what a neat future it would be!! ;D Hell,I sound like Lucy Lawless and the Save a child funding deal dont I?? |

The car pictured is not the one Natasha has been driving is it? I know hers was an ex RB Harris. Don't know but the history of Natasha's car is RB, Sef, Ian Shingleton, Mike Gourley, and on to the Rodgers. Car was built for the tilte at rotorua in the early 90's. |

Coreys car that Bryan brought did have the coil overs on the side of the car (forgotten proper name)
Just looked at some photos I took of the car the day after he totaled it at Waikaraka.
Allans car also had them on aswell, I'm sure there were only 3-4 cars running that set up
(sorry if it has already been cleared up)
