There’s no way the Dick Jones Special would be running today without the tireless help and support of these fine people. They all come highly recommended. Thanks guys.

Ken & Carole White

for bringing the Dick Jones Special to New Zealand and for their support and encouragement.

Stafford Smythe

my son, for always being there to help race, rebuild, repair, and prepare the car for its next outing. It’s great to see him driving it to the track these days. Hurry up and get your race licence son!

Mal Clark, By’Gone Autos

the guru throughout fourteen years of rebuilding, restoration, and completion. The roll cage, welding repairs, parts, advice, race prep on the front end, the rear end, help with rewiring, the set-up, tyre choice, a fabulous race engine, being there on race day to check tyre temperatures and offer advice and support, and for his untiring friendship throughout a very long process. A legend.
