The Roaring Season

Steve - have you been in touch with Greg Brinck - he pedaled one of the Corona's in Lynx livery in the 2L champs againts the Beemers. Car looked damned good. I think Greg is at Giltraps these days at the Bentley / Lambo dealership - google him there for contact details

The collapsed wing on Kenny's F5000 at Pukekohe going into the first corner at Pukekohe yesterday brought back memories of the dark side of the 'good old days'. Thank goodness that with the likes of HANS and circuit upgrades, Kenny walked away.

I recall (if memory correct) Ian Easton doing demonstration laps at Manfeild in a sprintcar back in the day - it looked pretty wild, especially since it had to turn right as well as left.

Steve - Appreciate all the effort to get our favourite site back up and running. Lindsay

Steve - If you are going to be in Brussels - and have a pass out - you could check out Autoworld, which is only about 3km from the central square (Grand Place). They have a 70 years of Ferrari feature July/August.

[quote="Milan Fistonic"]And some of the Monaro. You've done a fabulous job.

Couldn't agree more. Well done John. Look forward to the day she will be on the track

For the race, to differentiate it from the other cars, the team painted the sides of the nose yellow and the numbers became black-on-white (the other team cars were white-on-black)-the team even painted the sidewalls of the front tires yellow-

Great article in Motor Sport covering the breadth of success Chris had - much of it too often overlooked in the "best driver not to win a F1 GP" story

I neglected to mention in my earlier post... Chris took the fight to Frank Matich at those '68 Tasman meetings in Australia, their close encounters with Chris driving the Ferrari and Frank in the Repco-engined SR3 will live long in my memory! He was beaten each time, but nobody ever came so close ...

Congratulations Steve - although I'm not sure why this qualifies for a week away from posting on TRS
A dangerous precedent being set

"It is quite simple really. On the forum index this thread is showing as a ONE star"

Looks like 4 stars on the forum index (4 golds / one grey) at the moment - while most threads go unrated I hadn't even noticed there was a rating function... #storm #teacup?

Doesn't that look great!

I sometimes wonder, do people feel the same about the loss of Levin the way we feel about Baypark- your take Grimmie ? I can't speak for competitors John, but from a fan's perspective the loss of Levin was more than compensated for by the birth of Manfeild which, at the time, set a new standard on ...

Another one. This is Bill Ritchie's gorgeous 1966 Alfa Guilia 4 door sedan, complete with COD. Bill has jumped on board with Bruce Dyer to help run Historic Saloon Cars.
