I posted about the car 15 years ago... how weird to say "oh, just happened to have learned about this 15 years ago, and did a decent job putting the info on this blog"
thank you! it's a favorite of mine, showing just what adverse challenging conditions a racer had to overcome at a race track... this is the extreme limit of what's possible, before an area would be shut down, closed off, ruled impossible, as the mud and muck would of course get onto the track and make racing dangerous... well, more dangerous. So I wanted to use it as a banner! It's an OUTstanding photo! The splashing in front of every tire shows that the car was moving at a good clip, but not spinning the rear tires and making rooster tails.. anyway, Yes, Graeme McRae, 1973 Warwick Farm, Tasman series https://www.motorsportretro.com/2014/03/tasman-series/
Love the banner,Jesse! somewhere in Aus. maybe with McRae's Formula 5000 mud plugger!
