28-9-78 Dare MeMilan's Ralt attracted plenty of attention in Cathedral Square at lunch-time yesterday. Melfillan could be the leading New Zealander in the Lady Wigram trophy races tomorrow. Perkins needs skill, uck to wIn By RUSSELL JONES Larry Perkins has spent, four weeks of the Peter Stuyvesant series in the shadow of the colourful, confident and very fast Finn, Reke Rosberg. But the sun could shire for the friendly 27-year-old MOTIOn because be bas a Australian ai Wigram chance to take the series from Rosberg the reigning champion. The chance is only a stim one. Even if Perkins wins bath races Rosberg needs to finish only third and fourth to take : the title for the second year. He is more than equal to that task if his car does not give trouble. Four New Zealand drivers ire capable of winning at Wigram. David Oxton (Auckland, Chevron) has improved at every meeting and is tast and deiermined mn his new car while Steve Millen, also of Auckland and driving the latest Chevron, is sure to be one of the fastest if he overcome the small problems which have held him up aiter his win at Bay Pars. : Richárd/ Melville, tested his March at Ruapuna yesterday; is satisfied that he can do well - be ran fourth ai Wigram last year until gearbox trouble slowed him - and Dave McMillan (Auckland, Ralt) is usually a front. runner if his car is right. "We've done a fair bit of work since Teretonga," McMillan said yesterday. are tom tors and three wrong in valves were bert. But we should be happy at Wigram." The four top overseas drivers are under pressure ¡to win at least one of the swo final races of the 10race series. Neither Danny Sullivan (United States, March) nOt Bobby Rahal (United States, Chevron) has won a race in New Zealand and neither has looked caplable of beating Rosberg when he has been running strongly. But both are hungry enough to grab any opportunity, and a slight take by Rosberg or Perkins would be welcomed by ther. series Perkins won the first race at Teretonga, but only after Rosberg had been penalised a minute for jumping Start. Unless things go ATOLg for Rosberg. either in practice today or in the races, he must be the man to beat. If he does wrin, the most interesting interestine battend Rata a presept third and fourth in the points. Sullivan needs 12 Doints to overhaul Perkins ¡for second place, but. it (seems unlikely that he will ido so. Of the other 10 or ll competitors, those who could do well include Andrew Miedecke (Australia, March) who discovered some bent valve springs 'in kis engine after scoring two ¡fourths at Teretonga, and Robbie Francevic (Auckland, Modus) who has not raced since the preliminary race at Manfeild, when he finished second. Francevie has rebuilt his engine and his driving talent could make him the dark 'horse of the Wigram races.
