The Jenner Camaro story
One chassis, ten drivers, three countries. From Bruce Jenner Racing's Trans-Am debut in America in 1987 to the car back in AC Delco colours today, told through period photos, press clippings and race footage.


A New Zealand racing driver who took on America's SCCA Trans-Am Series in the mid-1980s with his own team, Bruce Jenner Racing, and later brought his Trans-Am Pontiac home to New Zealand, where it still races today as the Jenner Camaro.
He raced at Long Beach, Portland, Detroit, Mid-Ohio, Watkins Glen, Mosport, St. Petersburg and more, with New Zealander Max Crawford as crew chief. Choose a car or a driver below to follow their story through the timeline.
American TV visits the team: the presenter shows viewers the Bruce Jenner Racing truck and hospitality area and explains that this is a different Bruce Jenner, the one from New Zealand. Then Bruce himself is interviewed beside the team's Racing banner, followed by team manager Max Crawford.

Bruce's first race car: half a written-off Ford Zephyr and half a Consul welded together, with the Chevrolet V8 from his crashed '32 Ford hot rod mounted in the cab. It ran at the Mt Cargill Hillclimb and once at Teretonga before Bruce bought the ex-Coppins Camaro.
The ex-Spinner Black, Rod Coppins Chevrolet Camaro, heavily modified, raced in OSCA as #41 and #17 at Ruapuna, Levin, Timaru and Teretonga. Later owned by John Osborne of Dunedin, and since restored. It stayed in New Zealand when Bruce went to America.

From a home-built special to OSCA racing in New Zealand

Bruce, "Jelly" to his friends, was born in Scotland and grew up in New Zealand. He was a Dunedin man, and his first race car was one he built himself. A couple of years earlier he had bought a brand-new Chevrolet V8 for a 1932 Ford coupe hot rod; when that was written off in a road crash he saved the engine, welded half a write-off Ford Zephyr to half a write-off Consul, and mounted the V8 in the cab, a mid-engined special with a tongue-in-cheek name.
He and his mates worked day and night to get it to the Otago Sports Car Club's Mt Cargill Hillclimb, firing it up at about 11am and towing it over the hill for a late start. "That's not running," said the steward. "Yes it is," said the clerk of the course. After one more run, at Teretonga, Bruce decided it was too hard, exhausts blowing grit into the inlet had worn the engine out, and bought a proper race car.

After the Zephyr Corvette, Bruce bought the race-ready ex-Spinner Black, Rod Coppins Chevrolet Camaro and raced it in New Zealand's Open Saloon Car Association series through the mid-1970s, heavily modified, and backed by Ultra. He raced it at Ruapuna, Levin, Levels (Timaru) and Teretonga, as #41 and #17.
When Bruce left for America to race Trans-Am, no cars went with him: the Camaro stayed in New Zealand, and his Trans-Am cars were acquired and built in the USA.

"I worked for Bruce then, and he built that car himself, day and night for months. The moulds, all the fibreglass work, shifted the motor back, everything. He was amazing."Phillip Laughton, who worked for Bruce at the time
Bruce Jenner Racing enters the SCCA Trans-Am Series

Bruce's first car in American championship racing was a 1982 Pontiac Firebird, #72, in white with red and blue stripes. Only Bruce raced it. This is a different car from the second #72 that survives today as the Camaro.
His Trans-Am career ran from 1985 to 1988 and reflects the challenging nature of motorsport for private entrants. The early years with this Pontiac brought reliability struggles but glimpses of mid-field pace, especially in 1985 with consistent top-15 finishes.

Three more views of the '82 car: running mid-pack in a typical mid-1980s Trans-Am field of Camaros and Firebirds; side by side with Craig Shafer's #68 Camaro, most likely Mid-Ohio on 14 July 1985, where Bruce finished 15th and Shafer 10th; and in profile, with Valvoline on the rear quarter.

Max Crawford, a highly skilled and respected New Zealander, was crew chief for Bruce Jenner throughout his SCCA Trans-Am years from 1985 to 1988. He brought an exceptional blend of technical expertise, leadership and hands-on experience to the team, contributing significantly to the cars' reliability and performance on the track.
The second #72, a purpose-built Trans-Am car, raced from 1987

In 1985 Bruce built a new Pontiac Firebird #72, the car that survives today as the Jenner Camaro. It was constructed in the United States and reflects American road racing engineering practices, aligning closely with the methods used within Bob Sharp Racing of Wilton, Connecticut, a team known for combining practical fabrication with competition-driven engineering.
While Bob Sharp was the public face of that operation, the technical work relied on skilled engineers and fabricators. One of these was Ron Nash, whose background in race car construction explains the way this Pontiac was built.
The chassis and cockpit photos on this page are recent, taken during the car's current restoration with its present owner, Chris Hatton, and show the original 1985 structure as it is today, not period photos.
Ron Nash worked hands-on in race car fabrication within the Bob Sharp Racing environment, where the emphasis was on strength, weight efficiency and serviceability. His experience in chassis construction, structural fabrication and component mounting directly informed the build philosophy applied to this car.

Rather than being adapted from a production road car, the Pontiac was built as a purpose-built race car around a chromoly steel roll cage that forms the core of the chassis. Chromoly gave high strength with low weight, for excellent torsional rigidity in a comparatively light car.
The cage is not only a safety structure but the load-bearing framework for the suspension, drivetrain mounts and bodywork. The car was built to be adaptable, allowing development over time without compromising the structure, which is exactly what later allowed the switch from Pontiac to Camaro bodywork on the original chassis.
Podiums for Bruce in the Porsche; the new Pontiac races with guest drivers

Switching to the Porsche 944 in 1987 marked a turning point. At the season opener in Long Beach Bruce finished 3rd, one lap down, the first of two podiums in his 11 starts that season, the second coming at Portland.

With Bruce in the Porsche, the new #72 Pontiac made its race debut in 1987 in white Olivetti colours, driven by a series of guest drivers.

Gene Felton, a distinguished American driver, raced the new Pontiac at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach on April 4, 1987, qualifying 12th with a lap of 1:20.952. Felton was also an adept mechanic, named IMSA Mechanic of the Year in 1979.
Chris Kneifel drove both the Pontiac (#72) and the Porsche 944 (#11) for Bruce Jenner Racing. His standout result was 3rd at Sears Point in 1987 in the Pontiac.
The Porsche 944 proved harder going: its best was 15th at Dallas, and three entries are listed as DNA (did not arrive). Kneifel's podium shows the team's potential when conditions aligned, though those moments were infrequent in a fiercely competitive field.

Mechanical setbacks and the end of the Trans-Am programme

By 1988 the programme was struggling. Bruce's confirmed results are 43rd at Detroit, a non-start at Niagara Falls and 18th at Cleveland (July 2), his best of the year.
The Porsches represent the peak and decline of his Trans-Am career: the #42 showed his potential in 1987 with two podiums against seasoned competitors, while the struggles with the #11 in 1988 showed how hard it was to sustain. His podiums remain a testament to his skill and determination in one of North America's most demanding series.

Before it went to New Zealand, the #11 raced in the USA in the team's two-tone scheme: white Olivetti nose with a red rear carrying Brumos Porsche lettering, the same red tail as Bruce's #42. Under the bodywork it was a Fabcar-built car, with Bendix and FRAM support.
This is the car that later crossed to New Zealand and ran as #4 at Wigram with Chris Kneifel.

George Robinson, an American IMSA driver who later raced his own 74 Ranch Camaro in Trans-Am (1988-94), in 1988 joined Bruce Jenner Racing in the SCCA Escort Trans-Am Championship, racing the Pontiac twice. There were no podiums, but the drives gave him valuable experience in professional motorsport.

This view of the #72 from above, in its 1988 U.S. News colours, may be the only photo of Robinson's drives: the name above the door looks like "George Robinson", though it's too small to be sure. If you can confirm it, or know who took it, please get in touch.

For its last US season, driven mostly by Chris Kneifel, the Pontiac kept its white Olivetti livery and added U.S. News on the nose and doors and Rain-X across the windscreen. American and New Zealand flags on the door marked Bruce's team.


Discussing his Niagara Falls photos, Mark Windecker noted that the results list the #42 Porsche as Bruce Jenner's, scored as a non-starter, and Chris Kneifel in the #72 Pontiac, so in practice Kneifel may well have driven the #42 too. A crew member replied: "It was a very upsetting year, we finally put Chris in the Pontiac because of problems with the 44 due to a redesign."

The Pontiac arrives and is painted blue

In the early 1990s Bruce and Pam Jenner brought the Pontiac home to New Zealand, alongside the team's Porsche 944 #11, part of Bruce's effort to bring top-tier American Trans-Am cars and drivers to the Kiwi racing scene.
When it arrived the car was repainted blue, carrying New Zealand Auto News branding, and raced in the TraNZam series still wearing its Pontiac body.
These photos show the Pontiac in its first New Zealand livery, soon after it arrived. It still wore its American Pontiac body, now painted blue with stars and stripes, "Team USA" on the bonnet, New Zealand Auto News on the doors and race number 8, with Peter Jackson Series, Shell and Bosch decals for local racing.
Manfeild, in Feilding, was a key venue through the 1980s and 1990s. Here the crew push the #8 past the Benchmark Building Supplies banner on the way to the grid.
Before Wigram, both of Bruce and Pam's cars raced at Baypark, Mount Maunganui, on 28 December 1992, the opening round of the Peter Jackson International series: the blue Pontiac, the car that became the Jenner Camaro, driven by Scott Lagasse, and the Porsche 944 Turbo, running as #4 in blue New Zealand Auto News colours, driven by Chris Kneifel.
Both cars had sat in garages in the United States for at least three years, and NZ Speedsport reckoned the Americans "would be up against it". Kayne Scott won two of the three TraNZam races and Kieran Wills the other. Lagasse was third and fourth, with a jammed gearbox in between; Kneifel was fourth, fourth and third, after a blown turbo in testing.
Grant Brennan filmed the meeting on home video. It also shows his own Camaro, which qualified second and finished on the podium in all three races, Kieran Wills' RX-8 and Kayne Scott's car. NZ Speedsport's report →

Scott Lagasse Sr., a well-known American professional with a storied Trans-Am career, came to New Zealand with fellow American Chris Kneifel, Lagasse in the Pontiac, Kneifel in the Porsche, as part of Bruce's effort to bring top Trans-Am drivers to local motorsport.
At the Lady Wigram Trophy meeting at RNZAF Base Wigram, entered under the sponsorship of Bruce Jenner and Autonews Magazine, Lagasse drove the blue Pontiac in the TraNZam class: three 8-lap races, ending with the traditional 'Flying Farewell'.

"A fantastic day. I'm giving up 100bhp on the top Kiwis, but the Pontiac is really good onto the straights and we just carried that momentum down."Scott Lagasse, January 1993
A fortnight later the "wild rumour of the week" was that the Pontiac would stay in New Zealand, in Christchurch. It did. The Wigram event page → · the 1993 clippings →
Bruce was there in person, helping Lagasse into the car on the grid. Lagasse's clean sweep against local favourites remains a celebrated moment in the car's history.
Bruce brought two of his American drivers to Wigram. Chris Kneifel, who had raced the #72 Pontiac for him in the USA, drove the team's Porsche 944, now running as #4, the same car that raced as #11 in the USA. Scott Lagasse drove the blue Pontiac. Both cars wore matching New Zealand Auto News colours with Peter Jackson Series and "Team USA" branding.
In the TraNZam races on 17 January 1993, Kneifel qualified third (1:15.04) and finished third in Race 1, then retired from Races 2 and 3 with engine trouble, "an engine vibration", as John Hawkins put it. Source: Jim Barclay, after Murray McFadden's Wigram Motor Racing 1949-1994

Brennan Racing's new body shell and the AC Delco colours

Bruce then had the car's body changed. Brennan Racing removed the Pontiac bodywork and fitted a later-model Camaro body shell, improving downforce and aerodynamics so the car could compete better in New Zealand's championships. The chassis underneath stayed the original 1985 Pontiac.
The new Camaro was finished in blue and red AC Delco colours, the livery most people remember, and raced under the Bruce Jenner Racing Team banner, with Bernie Gillan among its drivers.

The Camaro also raced overseas while Bruce still owned it: a TraNZam race over 10 laps on the Surfers Paradise street circuit in Queensland, Australia, as a support race at the IndyCar carnival, shown on Channel 9. Bruce and Grant Brennan, whose Camaro was a TraNZam front-runner in 1993, and whose Brennan Automotive Specialists name is on the Jenner Camaro's front wing, both raced there.
The only footage we have found is Channel 9's coverage, uploaded to YouTube as "1994 Gold Coast Indy Carnival | Tranzam | Race". It shows the blue Camaro with its red rear wing on the street circuit's concrete walls, in a field that includes Australian V8 saloons. It was the 1994 Gold Coast IndyCar carnival, in March 1994. Brian Smith won in his Alfetta GTV from Kerry Bailey and Jeff Barnes; the commentary doesn't mention where Bruce finished.

Driver profile
Paul Williams
2000 OSCA series winner, with the title sealed after five of seven rounds. Two wins on a Golden Mile Tavern series opener, the Wellington Street Race and a three-from-three day in the colour-changing Camaro, with the original articles.
View his full story →

Paul Williams bought the Camaro from Bruce and Pam Jenner and entered it in New Zealand's Open Saloon Car Association (OSCA) series, a popular and competitive championship for high-powered saloons.
With a 6-litre Chevrolet engine it was competitive against a diverse field, winning at Ruapuna and taking the 2000 OSCA series title with two rounds to spare, clinched with third place in the opening race at Timaru in March 2000. OSCA made him swap the 5-speed Wiseman gearbox for a 4-speed to balance the competition, but he reported it made little difference to the car's pace. Title year: MotorSport NZ past winners

After Paul Williams' tenure the car was sold to a Christchurch-based owner who took it out for one test session, decided it wasn't for them, and quickly sold it to John Harcourt.
National champions and the 1NZ number

Derrin Greenslade bought the car from John Harcourt. He appreciated its potential, but found getting in and out through the window, a common Trans-Am feature, impractical, so he sold it to his brother, Andy.
Andy lived in Tauranga, hence Greenslades Furniture Co. Tauranga on the bonnet, but raced the Camaro mostly at Manfeild, near Feilding, which became the car's home circuit in his years with it.
His success cemented the Camaro as a prominent contender in New Zealand, bridging its American Trans-Am roots with its achievements on Kiwi circuits.


Andy also ran the Camaro as #5 in the same blue and white Bed Rumours "Your sleeping partner" colours, with his name on the roof rail, "6.0 Chevrolet" on the bonnet and his crew, John Davis and Dan Rice, named on the rear pillar. Signart Tauranga, Shelta, AC Diggers and OSCA decals complete the livery.
Andy Greenslade's #5 Bed Rumours Camaro in the workshop, crew John Davis and Dan Rice on the rear pillar.

With the nose off, the car shows what has always been underneath: the original tubular chassis and cage from the 1985 build, now carrying a 6-litre Chevrolet V8 with braided lines, coil-over dampers and wide slicks. The windscreen banner reads "Andy Greenslade Car 5" for the Schaeffer Oil NZ Super Sedans series, with Shelta Outdoor Furniture across the roof.
The current custodian, racing the Camaro for over 17 years

Since acquiring the Bruce Jenner Camaro in 2007, Chris Hatton has established himself as a successful saloon car racer, achieving consistent success and titles across numerous championships.
Over more than 17 years he has kept the Camaro's legacy alive, on classic circuits and street races across New Zealand.
These photos are from 23 June 2007, when Chris went to Andy Greenslade's workshop in Tauranga to look at the car before buying it. It was still in the blue Bed Rumours #5 colours Andy raced it in, and with the nose off the original 1985 tube-frame chassis is plain to see.

The Hamilton 400 was a standout event for Chris and the Camaro, competing in the GT1 class on one of New Zealand's most challenging street circuits in 2009, 2010 and 2012.
With tight corners, unforgiving walls and fast straights, it was the perfect stage for the Camaro's power and handling, and big crowds came to see classic cars racing among New Zealand's top modern saloons.
At the final Hamilton 400 in April 2012, Chris qualified 13th of 38 and finished 7th of 35 in GT1, against far newer cars. Softer springs and changes to the cooling and shock absorbers for the bumpy street surface had him 7 seconds faster than his qualifying time by the end of the weekend. Newspaper report →
In 2012 Chris also contested the South Island OSCA Championship, taking the Camaro to circuits across the South Island, and MotorSport NZ's list of past OSCA series winners records C Hatton as the 2012 winner. MotorSport NZ
The Hamilton 400 and the South Island OSCA events remain highlights of his racing, underscoring the enduring presence of the Jenner Camaro in New Zealand motorsport.
Every race Chris has run in the Camaro that's in the MYLAPS Speedhive timing records, 2008 to 2024, at Ruapuna, Levels, Teretonga and Manfeild. It ran as #5 in OSCA until 2013, then as #15. His best laps are from the timing too: 1:26.205 at Ruapuna at a club day in December 2009, 1:04.352 at Levels in February 2012 and 1:00.716 at Teretonga in December 2010.
His 2009 meetings and the Hamilton 400 aren't in the Speedhive records yet; they're on the race map.

A second Jenner Camaro, built in New Zealand

The replica was built with the approval of Paul Williams, who owned the original Jenner Camaro. Recognising the car's significance, Lindsay Dodd and Wayne Moore agreed to build a replica to the specification it raced in AC Delco livery.
It keeps the original's chassis design and layout, with refinements such as aluminium panels and fabrication improvements that make it more practical to maintain and race today.
Lindsay Dodd raced the replica as #14 in black, yellow and red L.J. Hooker colours, with his name on the rear pillar, Neil Matheson Painter & Decorator and CRC down the sides, and a Golden Mile Tavern banner on the windscreen, the same OSCA series Paul Williams raced the original in. A bonnet sign advertising car auctions on "Feb 17th/18th 2001" dates these photos to around 2001.
