How do you find out who was involved in building the monaro at bathurst 1968? I have a feeling a realtive was involved. I have been googling for hours!

The name of the person you need to research is David McKay. From here, there will be a connection to many other high profile people including John Bagshaw and Jan Woelders. Like many Monaro topics, they are always shrouded in mystery for som

Hi Rachel,
So you are looking for information on the Bruce McPhee entry team? My mistake as I was lead to believe you were after the Holden Dealer Racing Team. There was a good article in AMC magazine some time ago that chronicled the 1968 Bathurst 500

Hi Guys. I've spoken at length to Bruce McPhee about his 1968 race entry (as Warren also has). It seems that while Wyong Motors was his backer & major sponsor, most of the detail preparation work on the car was carried by Bruce (& others) in his own wo Edited by user Thursday, 4 September 2008 10:05:11 PM(UTC)

Rachel,
The Monaro event in a few weeks time will be a great place to catch up with the kind of people you are after here. I don't think you can beat a face-to-face session with someone in the know. I'm also interested in learning what you unearth.
