Looks like good friend of The Vault Nandi Palmai going by on the inside in the #V2.  Looking for an ID for the #22 from this early 80's Flemington action sequence.

Looks like it was pretty cold that day the way the crowd is dressed. I'm pretty sure this car was the 2+2. But I might be wrong.

Bob Tichenor in the rookie race on April 9, 1983. (Opening Night of that season).  Only the rookie feature got in that night, before rain wiped out the other features after the heats.

There is one picture of this incident in the program that covers this event.  (I honestly can't say I remember this car/driver without looking it up!)

Found it in "Modified Country" Vol. 4, #2.
