One of the best parts of being a competitor in a 'Junior' Formula was hanging over the paddock rails and photographing the 'Top Guns'.
Mostly Tasman Cup, 1971.

Chris Amon drew the short straw at Sandown, as the STP March was out of action and he was stuck with the truly evil Lotus 70, one of Chunky's regular cock-ups!

Warwick Brown, McLaren M10B, one of the new boys, he broke both legs in his Lola T300 later in the year and wheeled the McLaren out the following season, driving with both legs in braces ........

Rich Galloway was a privateer from the US and his customer Lola T192(?) showed the difference between the Factory Lola and his 'Customer' version.

Frank Gardner, a National Treasure today and the Factory Lola driver, in between times he drove GT40s and Porsche 917s, while winning the BTCC a number of times aboard a Camaro.
Frank was always laid back and never held back if one asked for his advice, he really wanted young Australian drivers to do well.
The immaculate 'Singapore Airlines' Graeme Lawrence owned Lola T332 is not from the '71 Cup, IIRC it was about 1974, but I can't be fussed about digging through my notes again.
