Bryan Miller should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Col Haste has just moved to the country of N.S.W. and Andrew Miedecke owns virtually all the car dealerships in Port Macquarrie where Col is , so send him a P.M. maybe.

Great photos - RT2/3/4/ series are some of my favourite ever cars - but its interesting to see how many helemt appear to at the same level as the top of the roll bar!

Good to see these cars. I have just picked up RT4-254 (Robertson Team car) and RT4-259 (Schollum). We are in the process of manufacturing new factory spec rear wings as well as rear wing mounts. Also mild steel exhaust headers. Any interest from that side of the water?

Charlie

Not sure how much use the team got from 254 as this car went to Mark Moore, mid 81 and the works didn't run a car until later in the season.

259 was indeed new to Schollum for Steve Millen, but it looks as though
after Long Beach 82 the car was sold in the USA, because at Trois Rivieres
Price Cobb turns out in a car, run by Sanders Racing, that is described as 'ex Millen' NZ champ winner. Then I have an add from "Rick" in Denver in On Track 30.7.84 p. 72 selling a '81 RT4 ex Cobb, and guess it is this car as Cobb only ran the Sanders car in late 82 season.
Any suggestions on who Rick might have been?

The logbook on the Schollum car shows the following owners.

Allen Michelet
Bob Kucharski
Kurt Hansen
Steve Hull
Don Huston
Roy Buralli

I can look at the logbook for 254 after I get homr from this trip.

1980-1982 RT-4s

Chris,

Do we have a comprehensive list of who owns the 1980-1982 RT-4s? I know Derek has 2 1980 versions, I have 2 1981 versions, Dale Lang has a 1981 RT-4 and a 1981 RT-2. Others? Any websites devoted to these cars?

Rt4-357

Chris

Could you look up RT4-357 on your list please. It has just, maybe, surfaced here in the US. The pages you sent me only go to 350 [at my request] which was delivered in Oct 1982. Hope 357 is on there - date, colour, AM#, Cell# etc all appreciated. Current owner thinks it is a rare 1983 model - how many are there on the list? Has been rebuild with a Bahner tub.

Thx - Derek

Chris,

As the "other one" I am wondering if you have any data on how many RT4s of each year were built. Especially 1983 and 1984. I was under the impression that quite a few 1983 models were built but less than 10 1984 models. One source is saying 130 1983 cars were built and this sounds a bit high to me. I would guess more like 40-50 units. Do you have the correct numbers? This is the same issue that Derek is asking about.

Cheers,

Doug Nye's book says 10 in 1983 and 2 in 1984 - but we know he's been wrong before. Chris - can you help?

Derek,

I have seen at least 4 different 1984s for sale at various times - and they were ALL driven by Michael Andretti! (I believe Mikey went to CART in the KRACO car in 1984 but the urban legend is that he drove the 1984 RT4. I believe he drove the 1983 RT4 in 1983 with the first race at Long Beach in a Tiga Atlantic.)

Michael drove SuperVee in 1982 and won the title.
Atlantics in 1983 - won title [or at least one of them, were they split thatyear?]
Also in 1983 drove at LeMans and in the final few CART races.
1984 full time in CART.
So no 1984 RT4 for him.
E&OE
