The Roaring Season

Hi Ray, it certainly has its share of hiccups. Take her for a run anytime you like.

Good call John.

I’ll be looking forward to these becoming mandatory next season. It could be like the Goodwood Revival where each marque driver has to wear specific attire. Of course there would need to be a MSNZ fee to do so and maybe an ACC levy as well.

John Mc - Historic racing don’t you guys need period correct gear like fire proof walk socks up to your knees, racing cheese cutter cap. Maybe be a fire proof silk scarf. ����

Personally I’m not concerned about the new requirements as I rather like to improve my chances on the track. And I understand that we can no longer live in an age where people can not be responsible for themselves. However I’m a little confused reading HD’s “track torque” email stating FHR’s are mand ...

Here is a short highlights video of Manfield by Adam at "The Fast Files". HMC appears around the 1:30 mark.

You hardly ever see people playing golf on the side of the race track nowadays.

Could I please grab the design #4 medium. Cheers Karl.

Hi Ray,
That would be a supercharged 1598cc. The log book has it at 2720cc but is wrong.

That said the old bugger will need a supercharged 2720cc to haul him around.

Cheers Karl.

Just a thought for those wiser than me. So what's available for the Production Grand Touring "GT" cars? Not the sports cars that keep being referred to, but the GT cars as defined by FIA or production class B/C for the Americans. The period correct 2 seater E Types, Corvettes, 240Z's, TR's etc. In a ...

Without a doubt, to two coolest cars at the show. Good work guys, and a treat to talk to the legends at are Mr Fahey and Mr Marwood.

Hey Nzeder, did you spot the Samuri 240Z in the red room. See Haynes are accepting of us as well as Ray.

Your welcome to the keys of mine Mike on the 20th. I believe it's just like riding a bike, you never forget how.

Then it's back to the shed with you as Ice Breaker will be creeping up before we know it.

Cheers, Karl

Another thing the handicap promotes is drivermanship. Ie a fast car with not so skilled racer (as opposed to just being able to set fast lap times in practise) may not do as well as a slower driver that can get through traffic.

Put me down as a fan of ERC.

Here's an old home video I dug up on this wet weekend. Puke 1991/92 season.

Also Murphy Law says your car will only break the day you don't have a trailer.

Mike will be double excited, there is a second zed lurking in the background.

How does almost anything that runs the 1/4 mile pass noise limits? Is it a council by council limit thing.

I went along on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a meeting where there is just as much (more) action in the pits than out on the track. Hats off to all those involved, both racers and organisers. Also I was only charged $20 and parked free infield, so if you have something a bit different ...
