The Roaring Season

Peter was a very generous guy although he and I didn't get off to a good start. My first race there in a FFord fell off the the sweeper and jumped the bank, unfortunately ran over several people. Peter was unimpressed (understatement), said if I wanted to F-g fly I should race a F-g Cessna. Later ...

At this stage it's only a rumour, Rhys but I have heard that your proposed class is looking so popular that a well known motor racing villain is looking at the possibility of running a Tatra. Myself, I'm looking for a Standrive as I don't like the idea of having to change gears. It's too bloody ...

Hi Russ, now that some of us have stepped out of the closet and with just one face how about a response to this question below. I think that's the least you owe us for stepping out. Russ, would you like to explain who or what you are getting at???...... Cheers, Dave Graham Hello Dave, My thanks to ...

Time you invisable beings became men. Tell us who you are? come out of the closet? stop being two faced whimps!

Rhys! great formula but would my 61 Wartburg be eligible? It's a real goer! Especially on 100 proof vodka with my Russian girlfriend behind the wheel. Hey! even if Natalia is in the back seat it's still a real goer!
Regards,
Dave Mckinney.

[ATTACH]22366[/ATTACH] Bay Park first flung its gates open to the public in late 1967. Designed by local Lin McKenzie, it was a relatively basic design that worked well for the area in which it was situated, producing interesting racing, and full track visibility for the crowd. At just 2.14kms in ...

I have Woody, some bastard locked me in. I know it's legal now which brings me to another subject.....Grant would like you to give him away. In fact we'd all like you to give him away.

Met Roger a million years back, probably at a Admiral Road hillclimb. "A chirpy chap".
As Richard said: "Bloody cancer". Just remember to give to cancer causes. It could be you or I next time.

Does lol mean "lots of love"? If so, I wish you hadn't announced our special relationship to the world. Joy's totally dismayed and I guess Kylie will make you sleep in the spare room from now.

All my love,

Russ

Friends that didnt know the outcome of the 76 year thought it was amazing, as did my girlfriend. Its got to be good for motorsport in general. Another reason I loved it was because Im named after Niki. How good is that! You could have been named after Hitler, Stalin, Idi Amin or even Elizabeth ...

You sad old man!

Yes Russ, Doug still has it, I have to go down to see him again soon to get a couple more measurements, for the rebuild of my old tart. Roger Very disrespectful! I heard you're wife is a lovely lady. Factory jigs & moulds are still here if you'd like to start production again. Convey my regards to ...

I have no idea who Howard thought he saw it with... Unlike Howard, I am a movie fan. It isn't just the best motor racing drama ever, he says - carefully sidestepping confusing drama with the Senna movie - I think it is a damn good flick. I promised myself I wasn't going to be all pedantic and look ...

Oh come on give us all the dirt, I know you know a bit Russ, and could tell a tale or two, you don't have to give names and current address, but some might pucker up a bit! Roger Rog, As I get older I don't really give a fig. Let them pucker!!!! On the other hand? What about the Nerus? sportscar ...

The Imp in question was built by Terry Brain here in Havelock North. He used parts from a Valour Formula Ford that he broke up. It was sold to Doug King and then disappeared from Hawkes Bay. Oldfart! Don't worry, the Valour chassis which had never been build up was sold to Doug Algie on the ...

You are referring to the advertising on Roy's car? Will see what I can find.

Ok, so I have to admit, the roaring season has to be an addiction of mine, and many others I am sure.one thing about this site is all the great history, stories, and photos, and discussion on who drove what etc, etc. and as time goes on, things like chassis numbers seem to have a big impact on ...

problem is that cars that I have built and prepared won enough races to satisfy me. you have won? You seem to be proud of being dishonest. It's individuals such as yourself with no driving ability that cheat because it's the only way you can win. Ultimately in this short life, you 928 are a loser ...

No idea who you are as you hide behind a nom de plume. However, you are a very unimpressive fellow to say the least. How can there ever be a level playing field when cheats exist??????

Some more Monaro trivia for you, John. On February the 21st 1970, the Wellington Car Club ran their first race meeting at the Levin circuit under Clerk of the Course, Ian Pinkerton......now resident of Papamoa, just down from the nudist beach???. Anyway, Grady managed to set fastest time of the day ...
