Hi all

Can anyone help with photo's and information about Ron Flemmings oval(circa 1969) as I am looking for some inspiration for my own oval as it is a stand out car for me. Have got a couple of pictures in Keiths book and one on the DKP site but looking to gather as much info as possible

Thanks in advance

FYI about Ron's old car. The guy he sold it to was going to convert it to a full-blown A/MC car, and even bought a full set of DDS wheels for it. Never happened, and ended up selling the car as is.... My brother bought the wheels.

Rick Rockman was the "who" that got Ron's car.  Here's an old line-up shot with l-r Jim Brooks, Ron Fleming, my lump, and Bill McMillan.
