Nice set of pics Sloper.
I wonder if "Mad Pete" could be persuaded to bring out the ex Crowe Skoda?

[John McKechnie]

Rhys......work still in progress on the Skoda -problems with bellhousing , clutch, starter motor combination. Has been some time now.

The Ferguson Torana behind Jen went to Glenn Ellingham for some time and lives in the South Island now.
Owner Paul Scobie tells me the engine is currently having some work done

[John McKechnie]

I have just sold my XU1 V8 Torana to Jamie Bennenbroek, daughter of the original owner and builder. Yes, she wants to run with us, Good to see the car will be used and not sit in garage.

. Hi Everyone, message from TACCOC in relation to the Saturday October 14 meeting-
" Once we have the go-ahead, we will set the event up on the MotorsportEntry.com website, and advise all participating classes. Hopefully, this will be in the next couple of weeks, giving us at least 3 weeks to get entries in."

I'll be sure to ask him John.

Is there any more info on this Monza? I recall a similar car being advertised some years back.

[John McKechnie]

Probably is the same one if that one had an all alloy Sprint Car engine, its been sitting fo a while.
I have never been approached about its eligibility.

Entries for the TACCOC meeting at Hampton Downs on Saturday 14 October are now open-

-I can confirm that the on-line entries are now open for the TACCOC Spring Classic at Hampton Downs on October 14th. http://www.motorsportentry.com
Please ask your members to carefully select the correct racing class – Historic Sports Sedans and not the Historic Muscle Cars / Historic Saloon Cars, who are also racing at this event.
As you’ll see, the entry fee is just $295,
NB: Pit Garages should be booked in advance (by Oct 11th), as they are unlikely to be available on the day-.

Daylight savings will be with us, lets start this Summer Season , cant wait to get the team Cambridge Monaro out to run with its buddies.

There are a lot of people who will be mentally supporting your efforts to get the car out there too John.

I'll be sure to ask him John.

I recall it being for sale approx 6 or 8 years ago. I don't think it has period history, rather was something someone in NZ put together from memory.

Hi Rhys,
i know that you for one will be in the middle of the back seat.
Will take the video camera for those who cant make it.-for safety reasons, we cant fit the 37 interested people in....though it would make for a wicked celebration party, passing the drinks around to everybody, just like in the old days

[John McKechnie]

Steve- i have been told it was put together for GT class, so no period history, and probably not many period parts

Yeah you may be right John. I don't ever recall seeing it race.

This race Commodore is on Trademe

As it was a Tranzam Lite with history, it can run with this class...with a correct period engine.
If someone is looking for a car to run with us, let me know if you are considering this or the Escort-
