MLRC Forum - 1992 Black Bear video

TomH Full Member Offline Posts: 122	1992 Black Bear video 03/30/6 at 19:58:36 Hi all I'm going to be posting some video of the 92 Black Bear in the next few days and I'm wondering if anyone has an entry list? I'd like to be able to put some names and car numbers together. Tom

I don't think you'll find anything online. I've searched every archive I can find and there are no online records of any OPRC event before 1996.
Although I did find alot of other interesting things, like some rally pictures from the 80's, and this:Wishbone Racing Wire, and various other cool sites from the recent past, which I had never previously heard of.

Right now, someone somewhere is practicing, and when you face him, he will beat you.

I do know a few of the cars but there is quite a few I don't remember. If you recognize a team, please put down their car number and name. Tom

I don't recognize that sequence of corners at all! I've got a route map from 92, they used all the same roads we're using, plus the Anson Creek stage that tees south off Pine Springs. Anyways, thanks Tom!

So, considering this is way before my time, I'm not really one to try and tell you who each team is, however...

First car, Audi, the Sprongls.
Second car, Celica, not a clue.
Third car, Legacy Turbo, Tom and Trish McGeer.
Fourth car, looks like a VW, maybe a fox, no clue.
Fifth car, Escort, no clue.
Sixth car, Swift, well, there were 12 of them...
7th, Golf.
8th, Corolla GTS.
9th, not sure what that car is, kinda looks like an Escort, or a Saab.
10th, another GTS.
11th, that's a Lada!
12th is a Volvo, Bo? Edit: Mercedes you say? Hmm, who'd a thunk it!
13th is a Mk2 Escort, I think.

Woah, ok, that spectator area I recognize, at the Bridge on Pine Springs, but there aren't any trees there! (can you tell I'm watching this again, and commentating as I go?) Wink

Nice video Tom!

Pretty sure that's Tony Lee - I co-drove for him at the 'Pines before this video was taken (the Pines *after* his Castledines roll...)

I'm thinkin' the Mk1 Escort is a Toyota Corolla

The FWD Escort might be the Latreilles

I was only 10 years old at the time so a lot of it is a blur now but I do remember that silver Mercedes (12th car). I'm pretty sure it was driven/owned by Ian Robertson but I could be wrong. It's definitely not a Volvo, and even if it was it wouldn't have been Bo's. I can't remember what year my father bought Bo's car but I have a picture of my father running the 93' Black Bear. My father bought the car from Karl Schribber (sp?) who had it sitting (not sure how long) because he couldn't license it in the U.S.. I figure the time between Bo retiring the car and my father running the BBR in 93' was over 1 yr.

I think your right about the first and third cars but the Audi (1st car) may have been John Buffum instead, maybe. Like I said most of it is a blur now.

I was 13 at the time, had been to Pines once a couple years before probably, but that's about it. I didn't get serious into this until 2001. So yeah, a little before my time, I'm just guessing blindly for the most part

I found an old issue of Rally Magazine with short blurb about the rally. Sprongls won by over two minutes. Janne and Jukka Blom were second.

In the video:
Second car is Wojtek Grabowski
Fourth car, maybe Jon Kemp?
Fifth car is Barry Latreille
I think the sixth car (first Suzuki) is Ari Montonen
Seventh car is Bob Elliott (pretty sure)
Eighth car (red/yellow Corolla) looks like Richard Sharpe
13th car (old white Corolla) - Kevin Inkpen?
Very last car (yellow/blue/red Golf) is probably one of the Peireiras.

Cool video, thanks for sharing!
