i need some help identifying these.

i capped these from the 1991 bathurst highlights tape because i was curious as to who the drivers are/were

they were being shown as part of a mini mountain review and as they were shown mike raymond mentioned that 4 people (untill then) had lost their lives at bathurst, so they could be fatals (i hope not because i dont like watching fatal crashes)
it's a long shot & theyre only short

EDIT: WHOOPS :confused:

[a9x]

the first one is terry finnigan's foodtown commodore

as for the second i think it was a Mclaren(don't know )
i remember reading about john harvey having a crash in a sports car (think it was at bathurst) and scalding water from the radiator burning his back

Dave,

Not sure who the inboard is, but the Commodore that is spearing off into the wall would be the Commodore VL of Terry Finnigan, with Geoff Leeds at the wheel when a tyre gave up on him. Pretty sure Geoff is now the driving observer or whatever they are called for the V8 Lites series.

The other accident was the sad one of Bevan Gibson. The year escapes me, late 60s. He was driving the Bob Jane Elfin 400 chasing Matich from mem. The car got airborne, although before my time i hear it was a very sad day. Inciddently the youngest of the Gibson brothers, Paul races at my kart club. All were well known in the 70s for their Group A Sportie Racing.

The photo is of John Keran's Torana after it blew a tyre at McPhilamy Park. John keran broke his leg (Very Badly)

John Keran was a quick Rally Car driver and the crash ended his career.

thanks for identifying it for me, it's a shame the crash ended his career though.
