The Roaring Season

Hello , When the truck was sold at Monterey , It arrivied in Seattle. I was the "car Guy" at the Pat Hart collection. RN 2 682 was the bigger version of the two fiat transporters.

How many cars (tubs) did Rosberg use while racing in NZ ? I know one car, possible two were sold to John Wigston in Auckland at the completion of the race series.

Monterey Historics this year has a full grid of Flat bottom Atlantics. They did the same a couple of years ago with 20 something cars.

After the shock of losing Len May, are there any updates on Vince Anderson who I believe was "triped" upside down in the ex Rob Willams elva 100. Heard he has a back injury and also there was an "event" with a Austin 7 and that Driver being hurt.

I,ve done the SFoS 3, times now, coming from Seattle. The first time, we put the race car (lister) on a car carrier truck to each race meeting. Started at Christchuch, then I think it was ether Dunedin , then the Hill Climb in Queenstown, onto Invercargill. Second time we came down, rented vans and ...
