Absolutely brilliant Nigel- every pic is a gem. I agree with Jaydees comments on your camera- and I see he is cycling as well.
Looking at they way you have captured them, you can almost hear the noise and feel the ground shaking.

Great photos Nigel, thanks for all your hard work and also for sharing with us. Love the old Bay park shot, history there.
Also to all the other people who have shared photos on this site, thank you.

I'm sure I speak for all the photographers when I say it's our pleasure - you drive the cars & we'll take the photos.

rover  lis 004.jpg


Here another one from the past that is still with us.
This is a Rover SD1 with Chev 355.
In this pic it is followed by Phil Schubert and Roger Davis.
Dont know which track it is, though it could be old small track at Taupo as he used to race there
Steve Pearson is another proud guy who built the car, raced it and still owns it 25 years later.
He also built, before this one, a Renault with a Rover V8 in it. but damaged in very badly at Bay Park- will be posting pics on this when I get them.
He has been following the HSS class ,was at both Historic weekends and likes what this class is about- having fun showing these cars on the track.
We look forward to when it comes out to play
