i assume the john white car was the old phil brock car, as he bought it from HDT and raced it himself?
what was the daryl hendrick car tho? an old Group C car, or a 'new' one for Group A?

Ok......the John White car was a brand new TG Gemini bought by John White from a Holden Dealer, which he used the twin cam engine from his group C race car.

The Daryl Hendrick gemini was a rally car before it became a Group A race car. Daryl Hendrick use to service my Isuzu Gemini ZZR coupe, and having pictures on his walls off the gemini in rally sprints. he told me he wanted to race a coupe.

cheers Rick.

yep, sure has resurfaced! was being raced in Improved Production (IPRA, the old "club car" series) in Adelaide.
paul helped him with the verification, as he was involved with both the ex HDT car and this one back in the day.

really hope it's raced in historic group c/a again too!
