The Roaring Season

Thanks for posting Luke. I see a very familiar car there. What year and issue are these out of?

Thanks Steve. First time I've used the Go-Pro camera. The actually footage was shot in 1080HD but I had trouble loading a better quality to you-tube as the file size is huge. Unfortunately no other runs. I have about 15min of pushing the car to the start line and back for the practise run, only to ...

Did anyone here attend the Geelong Speed Trials held on the weekend? The event was last held in 2003. I entered on the Sat as a historic sport sedan up to 1600cc (Group U), the only entrant in this category. The last time I drove this car was in 91. Just finished a slow 5 year rebuild and only fired ...

Here's mine again. First logged booked as a sports sedan in 73, and used until 91.

I've registered my interest to run at Geelong today. Be interested to see how many Group U's enter.

Thanks...G.F. Hi AMC072 I can only speak for the Victorian Supermini Regulations, but I assume that the ...

Man I'm just loving these! Car #48 in post #51 is fantastic! Anyone know what became of this car? I believe Car #48 could be Sue Ransome. I notice it has a Northern Mini parts sticker on the front guard, so maybe a Victorian car. I'II make a few enquiries to see if I can find out what happened to ...

According the Mini experience magazine http://bmcexperience.com.au/issue-27/ray-molloy.html the Ray Molloy mini held the mini lap record at Hume Weir upon the tracks closure. Would there be any way to verify this via records, and whom would have the records?

That pic of Henry Draper, was that the KG car of Darryl Gretrix? My understanding is that it is the KG car. And here's a photo of Darryl.

The Ray Molloy machine appears in this 1976 Sports Sedan footage from Sandown: Thanks Steve. I think I've watched that clip now about 100 times since it was originally posted. What a ripper. Timbo, thanks for sharing as well. I have a program from Oran Park dated 1990 so the cars may be 84 Max ...

Hi Ian, And I though I was the only one interested in the history of the Supermini's and Mini Sports sedans. I don't have a lot, but happy to share what I've collected. I believe the Gulson car still exists. It was run by the Hume Brothers for a number of years. They were unable to sell the car as a ...

Could this be it?
