Just been looking at the NZ 'Roaring Season' forum, and tripped over these pics of the entry list in the programme for Manfeild, 11-12 Jan 1986
http://www.theroaringseason.com/atta...3&d=1329716552 http://www.theroaringseason.com/atta...4&d=1329716764 Mostly names we're familiar with in this and the other NZ/AUS season threads, but one or two are new to me #44, Tim Taylor in a Rover Vitesse in particular leaps out at me... I wasn't aware of any NZ Rovers apart from the TWR visits to the Nissan Mobil races, and Tim Slako's pink car making the trip at some point |

If I rember correctly Baigent's helmet came off in this shunt. As a consequence thereafter, scutineers made you don your helmet while they tried to pull it off your head by lifting the back of it. Good job it wasn't his nomex underwear that failed.

Yes, MalcolmC posted a couple of pics in the 635 thread from one of the NZ magazines at the time showing the Baigent shunt:
http://tentenths.com/forum/showpost....&postcount=801 One clearly shows his helmet flying through the air after it left the car- That was definitely a very big one... http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/...2011_00000.jpg |

The car was back on the circuit at the Wigram Revival meeting at Ruapuna last weekend & looking outstanding. There was also further mention of it here: http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...t=47720&page=3 |

I'm not sure whether or not Christchurch based Gary intends leaving the car in Auckland (with Angus) so that he can nip up to race it in North Island events. Hopefully, both will be at both weekends of the annual Hampton Downs Festival in January. |

There's actually some quite good spectator footage of the XJS in question from a race meeting at Mike Pero Motorsport Park Ruapuna last year.
