Certainly have heard of her! She was a Springbok and rode all over the world.

1969 RAY BUTTERS NO:16

[Hi-Fi]

Unreal! One tends to forget those times!

I can't enlarge the pic but anyone want to guess who the No. 9 car was??

[vanz2]

Goofy Fouche ??

[Dattiman]

Nope.

Here's a clue. He was probably one of the tallest 'stock car' drivers I knew back then. (Mind you so was Johnny Van Niekerk)

See you guys know all the older people in Ovaltrack racing. Does the Van Gooswillegen Family rings a bell to someone. Hollanders from Klapmuts Garage

[henryk]

Yes I remember the van Gooswillegens.

They raced a green Rambler Rogue Coupe'. (It probably had a different name but that's what it was.)

Only other V8 coupe like that I know of belonged to Dolf Odendaal, the chaiman of the Worcester Motor Club in the late 60's.

And of course we all know who No.44 was don't we....the one and only 'Deon De Waal'. Still waiting for an answer for the No.9 car. Anymore takers????

Cannot see the picture of car no 9.

Unable to open images. Blocked for some reason.

Would it be possible for someone to post the picture so it forms part of the reply.

Would like to see if I can identify no 9 as like many of you spent many an enjoyable Saturday night at Goodwood.
