Thank you Dale, for posting up the entry list.

This needs to be done with all classes if the event promotors want spectators to turn up!! I wasn't going to go to this meeting, other things are more pressing, but based on the list above, there are a couple of cars I want to check out so I will make the effort to turn up. If this list hadn't been posted, I wouldn't have known and hence wouldn't have turned up, and there are probably others in the same boat.

[Oldfart]

Great bit of promo film, thanks Limezed, apart from the nauseating "music".

Thanks for the feedback Andrew, sometimes postings are a double edge sword.............like you some see it as informative and others see it as giving up too much information................but I believe posting on the RR is more direct marketing to those with an interest in our hobby/sport rather than with some social media sites..

Hope you enjoyed the day...Dale M

After quite some time reading and responding to posts from khyndman I have finally met the gentleman. He was at the Taupo Historic GP meeting this weekend and here is a photo I took of him with Bruce Dyer and Dale Mathers.

Great pic Mike. I hope Ken enjoyed the weekend. Good to see Bruce in uniform.

Yes I think it would be fair to say Ken had a great weekend and seemed to have a constant smile on his face. I am sure he met heaps of people from the old days.
