76a

Richie Wright of Auckland has been racing stockcars since the dawn of time it seems and always turns up with an immaculately presented car. This little beastie has been around for a while but only seems to make a few cameo appearances each season. According to the 'drivers missing in action' section on Macgors site someone posted "Last time I saw Richie Wright he was a police constable based in Pukekohe and living in Waiuku, I think he still has his last car."

Wright, a former member of the AVD-Centra stockcar team can never be accused of following the pack when it comes to the look of his cars. The jury is still out on the fluoro pink chassis (looks orange in these photos but trust me it was so bright it almost hurt) and having a white car is sure to make you even more visible on the track, but this car seems to be able to take the hits.

A google search revealed a page of images of the AVD Centra stockcar team and an earlier Wright car 25a, can be seen on the far left of the first pic. The site belonged to Nigel Bree and was one of the first dedicated stockcar websites. Come back Nigel!
