Love it, lots of right place at the right time!

Hey thanks guys i get a real kick out of taken photos of racecars. . . There some amazing photos on this site old and new taken by some amazing photographers.

Little bit of rallycross going on, thank god the concrete barriers are set back (where they should be), that was a great meeting.
The photos posted are awesome and thanks to all photographers for shareing.

Beautiful pics ......................................................Thank you for sharing these .....

Wow, those are stunning!

A few of my favorites from the festival.

Grant, Indeed the writer/photographer is a friend, but he did a great job promoting the festival. Hopefully it will lead to a lot more interest from international entrants and visitors. Oh and he fell in love with the Ford Anglia while he was here.
I think they allowed 4 pages for the event instead of the usual 2.

Can we ban the concrete barriers at Pukekohe so the track can drain better?

Yeh Dale.......different driver in the concrete episode......Must be the Mini.......ban the bloody Mini!!!!!!! LoL
Bring on the CHEVY MONZA.........yee ha

Definitely.......OVER & OUT !!!!!!![no LoL]

Arrrr come on you guys!! get with the program!! Gimbletts door leap out and damaged the front of the Mini, same with John English in the Camaro, as his left rear also damaged the front of the Mini and Pete Stevensons RH of his Mustang got in the way and leap back to also damage the front of the Mini again, all over the same weekend!! Hmmm im thinking im gonna have to "ban" these 3 vehicles!! infact the next time Angus is in with HMC i may hold all the HMC cars back so no one else leaps in front again, still!! didn't stop the concrete barrier leaping out in front of the same Mini at the same event? thats it BAN all the HMC drivers and concrete barriers!!!

Over and OUT

Dale M

My apology for the incorrect spelling. I have an idea that two drivers had 'had a go' at that door. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I cant find anywhere that I said it was 'just a dent' I was repeating what the caption to the picture said.

Gerald, his name is Kevin Gimblett, and the damage to his door required a new door skin, so hardly `just a dent'.

Thanks for that Beowulf.......the advantages of having the local news agent who is also a motorsport enthusiast.

I like the description that accompanies the picture........quote.....'Angus Fogg was trying everything he knew to pull off an upset with his Cooper S. He even nudged his front wing during one audacious overtaking move'.......

'Nudged'......what a glorious word. According to the Concise Oxford....'to prod gently to attract attention; a light touch or push!!!!!!!
A bit different from Murray Maunders...quote.....'a huge ding in the side of the Gimlet Camaro'.

I'm sure Murray there was fault on both sides, certainly according to a number of amateur photographers who witnessed the 'nudge', and that the Jury is out on that one. The thing is that Mr Gimlet could have swept past the Cooper S on the straight with ease, so there was no need to get defensive in that corner.

As Howard says, he works his arse off getting ahead in the twisty bits, then come the straights its all over, with all that bellowing horse-power swallowing you up..........
.....Do horses 'bellow'......maybe it should be 'neighing'.!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the latest Classic and Sports Car mag, April issue, there is a write up and pictures from this meeting. Including a picture of Angus and Dale. Page 20. Also some eye watering cars for sale. Another Lotto ticket.
