Yep I would say so, Greg was from Wellington I think he is in Auckland now, have not seen him since he was racing NZV8's a few years back & he could drive them good as well, races powerboats now.

Thanks for that Steveo.  Will chase him up.

[sudman]

Can we ask why?
This email will get to him as well Greg Brick at [email protected]

[pirie593]

I am trying to chase down a copy of the Program for the event that Greg was photographed competing in.  It was the Kidston Grand National held at Builth Wells (Wales) in 1978.  My copy has been lost during one of the many house shifts since then.

Have sent him an e-mail (via his work) but haven't had a response yet.

[sudman]

Hope you get a result.

Cheers
Tony

Contact made.  Greg remembers the event very well.  Probably still spitting out the dust
