Re: 1980s - 1990s Tube-frame Trans-Am/IMSA/TraNZam/Sports Sedan Thread

Hi George,

What is the history on the number 12 car? is this the powerbeat car? I think Paul Morris Drove?
Can you shed any light on the whereabouts of these Tranzam cars;
Purple Hoosier Camaro
Blue Activator Camaro
Enzed Camaro

Regards,

Simon

Kaikoura Go-Kart track

Hi All, Just outside of Kaikoura there looks to be an abandoned race track. Just from the road it looks like a Go-Kart track. Does any one know any history of this track? As I used to race karts and would have loved to have a skid on it. It looks like some of the locals may use it now for a bit of ...

Re: Formula Atlantic/Pacific

Hi there

In that photo with the cars on the grid, can someone shed any history on the car in the Marlboro colour scheme? Also, there was a Swift db4 at the Wigram revival meeting, it was black and white with Lonestar sponsorship. Did this car have any history in NZ?

Regards,

Simon

Anyone else here there over the weekend?

Re: Where are these 2 litre NZ touring cars now???

Brilliant photos, thanks for that. I found some more info regarding the build of these cars. Dave Cook had a lot do with it and also Campbell Little was involved with the build. Good to see it still in original colours. Would love to see this car in action again.

Its alot more enjoyable than clicking a couple of pieces togther, I had it on a hinge in the garage so you could just fold it down and have a play, unfortunatley it all came ...

Re: Diecast Collections?

Hi All, what is the law on diecast models (or Kitset models for that matter) in regards to ciggartte adverstising? Are they allowed to be produced with the correct decals or is it only the older models that were produced with the ciggartte sponsorship decals?
