The Ian 'Pete' Geoghegan Torana A9X (one of the lightweight GM's Parts & Accessories shells) in front of the old generator shed in the paddock area, May 1978.

Don O'Sullivan in the beautiful and very purposeful looking Matich SR3a in early 1970.

Colin Hall in the ex McAllister Macon F2 in around 1975.

A lovely shot of Dick Ward in his Fiat Abarth. A Ken Devine photo I believe.

A great Steve Enriques image of the grid for the 1979 Australian Grand Prix.

Gordon Stephenson's ad to sell his Mustang, 1970. The last time it was raced at Wanneroo was on 12 July 1970.

Ron Harrop during practice for the 'Titan Ford ANZ Sports Sedan Challenge' in November 1975.

The Nitschke Torana Sports Sedan in the old pits, 1975. It was driven on the day by Peter Finch.

Next to it is the awesome Repco EH Holden of Ron Harrop. Sadly, the EH 'broke' in the first race and didn't appear again for the rest of the day (or ever again at Wanneroo).

John McGregor leads Brian Smith through 'BP Corner', 1975.

Peter Flanigan leads Pat Reed's Triumph TR6 and Peter Harper's MGB through 'BP Corner'. I think the Torana exiting 'Rothmans Corner' onto the pit straight is Tim Slako, although I don't remember him running number 34. October 1978.

Peter Briggs negotiates BP Corner in the ex Beechey HK Monaro, 1970. Image from Terry Walker's 'Around the Houses'.

A great image posted elsewhere by Murray Thomas. It shows the entry onto the long pit straight at Caversham from the spectator area at KLG Corner. The old humpy Holden (Dick Roberts?) is facing the wrong way!

Dave McBean, Mike George and Brendon Hagarty look on at John Hurney's Haggis in the old pit lane, 1975.

John Hurney about to have his first drive in the ex Neville Grigsby Haggis, 1975.

Phil Davenport in the ex Grigsby ex Mathison Cooper S leads Dave Cliffe's Cortina around Leyland Loop, 1972. Another wonderful Ken Devine image.
