That picture I posted of B8/81 in its silver livery was taken at Mallala but the details were a bit wrong I discover. The year was 1983 and the cars in the background were Ric Kemp's Mk.7 and Gus Safranco's Nagari. Vern Leng had already acquired the Ikara by then and was competing in it that weekend. The above photograph shows B8/81 on the track and the driver isn't as big as Vern. It is in fact the next owner, Robert Radman. Pete Garvin remembers Robert getting an engineering award for fitting a Chev in a Nagari.Tuesday, April 22, 2008
