Sad to say that from a great beginning, this event hasn't really grown as much as I would have liked.

Not too sure why, given the obvious enthusiasm from the organising club, but maybe next year, it would be more suited to the new short track at Hampton Downs?

A long(ish) track and sparse grids are not a good mix, when much of the track is out of sight.

Sky sport clip from last Wednesday night

And before someone corrects me. The RA Vanguard won the 1952 South Island beach racing championship, not the NZ Beach championship. The car in fact never raced in the North Island.
In 1951 it was timed over the standing quarter at 13.8 and it won the Canterbury Car Clubs sprint championship in 1952 at 15.24 seconds.

Missed you AMCO...

Very often, the fields are spread out and personally, I am building up a library of individual cars anyway, so unless the action is in front of me, most of my pics by choice will be single car. What little I saw of the Roycroft meeting Saturday, apart from Roman Schiff's Riley doing battle with the Jaguar, there wasn't much else that was close.

See post #540 in my "Mix of Pics" thread.

Despite our full ERC grids at the Ganley Festival with bags of overtaking, I have yet to see any pics other than YouTube videos showing what a crowded series of 4 handicap races it was!

Terry Collier is keen to run his BMC Formula Junior at the MG Charity Classic Race Meeting at Manfeild on Sunday 17th May - if enough historic racing cars enter to make up a grid. If anyone is interested, regs and entry form should be out later this week.

I see results from the Roycroft meeting are here: http://www.marktime.co.nz/results/roycroft-trophy/2015/03/14
