Is the cosmo turbocharged or NA?. Ken Sines RX7 was mint had a 13BT, but had no traction thats why he changed to a Corvette I think. Also I have seen a few piks of a yellow RX7 with the no. 26 GM and a RX7 B saloon from Gisborne driven by Shannon Gooch? if you have any piks or info on those?.

I also remember a couple of years ago there was a orange/white S4/5 RX7 saloon which was sponsered by Cochranes transport (however you spell it) which was bloody quick. when we had the unofficial ltd saloon champs it came 4th and it was from Huntly plus it was the waikato champ a couple of times. Plus there is the 4M mazda RX7 saloon at baypark as well. So there are 2 rotary saloons.

The car you refer to was 19H Mark Jones in the ex Ken Sines Limited Saloon, after Mark had the car it sold to 95A Kevin Head, who I believe still races it occasionally out of Auckland. |

I'm pretty sure that the 52s RX7 was driven by RODGER WHITE.

Back before I knew him my hubby (Shane Carey) raced this little beast. Was the first car that him and his father built themselves. Powered by a 13B Mazda Rotary bought from Rod Millan in the USA  |

No Paul Higgs' car is a different one but he no longer has it. Probably the one Neil is talking about.
Gary did sell his to Nigel Boyce but we think he bought it back again. Don't know what happened to them after that.
Sorry not much help from then on.

Rotaholic you should have been at Baypark last week to hear the 20B cosmo do its 2 lap shootout by itself,  it was just beautiful plus it qualified #2 with the 2nd fastest lap. I also remembered there was a few rotas that ran out at Meremere Dirt Track club including a 13BT starlet. |
