Bob Hyslops Championship winning car back and right at the pointy end.
The car is immaculate and has a Schedule K COD and its just as he ran it previously.
Welcome back Bob

Yep, you dont see much flames at modern racing events.
Felt a little freaky at first having the flame thrower go past close up on a corner

Great photos Nigel,
I am almost ashamed to put my photos in but then again we were all there enjoying these cars while we still can.
I certainly enjoyed our time together remembering our Morrinsville days and also thanks for the ride as I don't think I could have walked that far. I tried to jog up the driveway to make out to the "rellies" that I had run all the way but they were watching as you let me off ! I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip. Thanks again.

Great pics Nigel - not that we expect anything less! Great class.

Well done John for taking on the mantle. Best visual grid of any series running today - bar none.

Thanks Ken,
Yes it was nice chattiing about the good old days in Morrinsville.
Take care and keep those photos and memories coming.

Thanks Ray,

Looking forward to maybe seeing the Morrari joining the lineup in the future.

This class is going from strength to strength thanks entirely to John McK.
