track and took splendid shots during the
races and regularity events, teaming up
with a professional who offered wonder-
ful advice most days.
You may see Terry’s work on the web-
site, certainly shots of the register meet-
ing are there.
Peter Cundy’s first introduction into His-
toric Winton in the 1934 NA was memo-
rable indeed, aptly helped by his pow-
der monkey Ray Finch who worked with
the precision of a surgeon to have the
engine tuned and ready for the first foray
out onto the track. Needless to say that
the owner driver had a severe attack of
the butterflies in the abdomen region on
his first regularity run which got progres-
sively better over the weekend. Well
indeed as third was his chosen gear
hurtling down the pit straight in front of
the admiring populous from SA. With
all that power under the bonnet he cer-
tainly showed remarkable restraint.
There are some great photographs from
Terry Wright of the green dragon # 134

Briefly as can recall during what was a
noisy question time , Bob Schapel talked
about a TC crankshaft in unknown con-
dition that John Muldoon has for sale
(boat anchor maybe), Y Type chassis
that he has lying around not doing
much, Graham Loader mentioned his
2200K trip West on Wheels Tour into the
bush, TD McNabb complained about the
rising cost of petrol in Adelaide, says the
Register should boycott the pumps,
Horny has 4 never used 16 inch tyres
available and two TF engine bonnet side
panels with very little rust for sale, Dean
Hosking mentioned something but it was
inaudible given the noise from the serial
pest.
Russell Garth came out of his shell but
again incoherent, well I SAy it’s not sur-
prising.
Nick Proferes let us know that Wes
Southgate (Melbourne) has not
been that steady of late, we will
enquire from his son and send
our best wishes.
The three stooges;
Larry, Curly & Moe , we all know
them, however three of our
number carried off an act that
could be described as copycat.
