Barry Moon, Reg Whittaker, and BMC BOY Ross Cammick caught up with Chris at Manfield in January along with Frank Karl who was racing - have a photo somewhere of the Lads - which Ross sent to me.

In the Issue will be the story of the Telecom Classic Motorfest events of 1993 and 1994 - The article has been written by Laurie Brenssell - who was the Chairman of the organising committee.
Should be a good article.

Was the first festival at HD, the Bruce McLaren that was the catalyst to get it back on the track 16 years after the incident. We are taking her to the South Island in January....Levels and Skope so that should be a bit of fun........probably travelling down with Gordon and the Alfetta so the two cars can swap stories.
