13-9-70 16th INTERNATIONAI LADY WIGRAM TROPHY 16th INTERNATIONAL LADY WIGRAM TROPHY - ' Winner of the seventy-five-mile Levin international race on January 3, Graeme Lawrence, of Hamilton, now owes the Ferrari V6 which New Zealander Chris Amon ased to win the 1969 Tasman Championship. Although the car is down on poer compared with the big Formula A-5000 cars, Lawrence can be expected to finish well up at Wigram. Winner of the International race at Bay Park, Mount Maunganui, on December 28, Ron Grable, a debonair Californian, is almost certainly the fastest of the strong contingent of American drivers contesting the Lady Wigram Trophy race. His mount, a modified MeLaren MIDA, fitted with a 5-litre Chevrolet engine, should be well suited to the open Wigram circuit. Mike Goth has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Renaissance History and enjoys the reputation of being one of the leading amateur astronomers in the United States. He is also regarded as being one of the coming men in motor racing and he drives his immaculately prepared 5 litre Surtees 1S5 in a manner that shows he is on the way te the top. RACE RACE One of the fastest qualifiers for the New Zealand Grand Prix at Pukekohe last Satarday was the burly, bearded Ulf Norinder, who lives in Switzerland but hails from Sweden. U.S. M Star otor-cycle to Compete Although all New Zealand's top racing motor-cyclists have appeared at Wigram over the years, among them some international stars such as Hugh Anderson and Ginger Malloy, there have been few overseas visitors. This year's Airfield Championship races have attracted the leading American rider Ron Grant, who will undoubtedly go out the hot favourite in the 500c.e. race. Grant has been dictating the terms in New Zealand races already this season and for Wigram he will have his Suzuki Cobra Iwin, almost certainly the fastest racing machine in the country. RACING TEAM A former Australian chanapion driver, Alec Mildren of Sydney, now manages his own racing team and has long been an ardent sup porter of the Tasman Championship and the Lady Wigram Trophy race in particuiar. This time he is fielding a two-car team of Australian-built 1850 c.c. Mil dren-Waggotts.
