Ros berg 's loss will be Wigram's gain The Keke appeal against a last Sunday, but weekend. Rosberg camp will be far from happy to lose its one minute penalty against its driver at Teretonga Rosberg's loss will be the Wigram public's gain this Had Rosberg's appeal been upheld, he would have had an unassallabie lead in 1978 Peter Stuyvesant series. Now, however, there will be a tense air over the Wig ram airfield circuit as Rosberg attempts to win one of two heats on Sunday to clinch victory. Richard Melville has been well piaced at each meeting and could end up in the money at Wigram along with David Oxtas who has driven so well in recent races. Dave MeMilian, who was the hope for a Kiwi victory in the series has not lived up to his reputation and has been handicapped by minor problems. Danny Sullivan has been consistent but has not featured in the final points stadings. It is hoved that at Wigram be will do much better as the car is now fully sorted ABILITY Of the others, only Andrew Miedecke and Bobby Rahal have the cars and ability to feature in the minor placings. Sieve Müller has not shown the form which took him to a wit in the opening round at Bay Park, but he can always be relied on to be in at the finish. For saloon car fans, there will be three races. The first one • is for the OSCA cars which will feature 10 big V8 engined machines a sight which the North Island crowds are not seeing any Thirty smaller mothe field. tored vehicles will complete TUSSLE Lawrence Bruce in the Motormarket Camaro and Dave Baker in the PDL Mustang March 1 should have a tremendous tussie in this rale with lan Munt and Rob Farrar, in the Capris, and Ross Cameron and Inky Tulloch in Camaros giving them a good run for the minor placings. Chris Morris, in the Mustang, wno drove so well in his first meetings, will be another driver who will be right in amongst the more favoured drivers in his beautifully prepared car which has already taken Kevin Haig and Lawrence Bruce to OSCA championship wins. The smaller OSCA classes should be dominated by the Datsuns of Trevor Crowe, Grant Aitken and John Dymana, with Barry Vuyk in the Sumbeam Imp being the cat amongst the pidgeons. The Shellsport race will again be a race between the Datsuns of Reg Cook, Cro we. Dymand and Aitken. Current Championship leader Reg Cook won the first heat at Teretonga closely, pursued by Crowe and Platt and the second heat was won by Crowe with Cook on his tail. The saloon invitation race will feature the best and fastest cars of the meeting plus the PDL Mustang Mach 2 driven by Leo Leonard. Forty cars will face the starter for only six prizes, and will make every driver give his best. The Formula Ford race should again provide very close racing. The series leader, Milke Finch, was in volved in a bad accident at Teratonga and although be was unhurt, his car mas demolished. This gives the other drivers a chance to vie for the lead in the series overall. Local drivers should do well this weekend with Lucas Verhoeven being the best equipped to catch the leader. The GTX race again looks like a Barry Lloyd berefit but he will have the Camaro of Rob Farrar to contend with. The Intelex sports car race should prove entertaining. Tom Donovan is the acknowiedged clown of the sports car circuit and he can always be relied on for spectacular driving as he flings his turbocharged car around the circuit. Christchurch international Paul McLachlan is virtually assured of a win in the motorcycle events. With Stu Avant without a machine, there is no otber bike in the South island that car match the speed of MeLachlain's Tyre Pando Yamaba 750. 27-9-78 U.S. racing driver has Bobby Rahal in Cathedral Square. expor Bobby Rahal, an American racing driver contesting the Peter Stuyvesant series, has used his time in New Zealand to expiore the possibility of & new export industry for this county truit concentrates Rabals father is "*' partner ta-Hartog Foods, United ::States ' company which deals in the export and import of frit concentrates..r.
