Historic Sport Sedans

[Andrew Metford]

So I saw a little video clip tonight, of a Charger being fired up today for the first time in a while after a bit of work. Looking forward to seeing it back on the track soon.

Hi Everyone-
here are the current entries for Taupo April 27,28., our last race of the season
A great field and we welcome Angus Fogg stepping up from his boulevard cruiser Mustang into a real,purpose built Italian race car.
There are 4 X 6 lap races ,as 3 X 8 is too hard on the brakes and requires carrying a bigger fuel load.
More opportunities though for the minnows like Neil Deighton, Darcy May and my self to come through to win a handicap.
A big welcome to all who are going to visit us , we hope you will enjoy the show.

Great Grid John. Good to see Angus in the Alfetta. He will need to brush up on his Italian so he can communicate with the Italian part of it....

[ERC]

if that is Gordon's Alfetta, I hope he is OK. Lovely man.

Ray,,,the first name on the list is that Lovely man will be driving his V8 Escort...will you be there this weekend?

[ERC]

Whoops, missed that John! Sorry, no I won't be there. No doubt Nigel will do the honours. Well done for another good field.

Great Grid John. Good to see Angus in the Alfetta. He will need to brush up on his Italian so he can communicate with the Italian part of it....

he is already in touch with the English part of the car-Lucas Prince of Darkness fuel injection- with a Border Collie,Cooper S and enjoys a warm beer.
We will give him some personal space of 2m to allow for Italian air talk with his hands

[Spgeti]

There’s no help for him then if he likes warm beer.....

[ERC]

Even we English don't like warm beer! Don't care much for beer anyway, being a cider drinker...

" Ahh!! Just come up from Somerset where the Cider Apples grow " - to be said in the correct regional accent of course ".

Well as some of you may be aware that unfortunately John McKechnie resigned from the Secretary’s duties, Committee and the group earlier this year.
Bruce Thompson stood in until a replacement could be found to help Historic Sports Sedans Club move forward.

The other week Roger Williams put his hand up and after a Committee Meeting last weekend he was elected Chairman and Bruce Dyer elected Secretary.

The remaining committee consists of,

Jennifer Mossman, Treasurer,
Roger Davis, Eligibility Officer,
Club Captain, Adrian Dobbe,
Race Coordinator, Graeme Park,
Lower North Island Rep, Graham Barnes.

I realise that some of the members are on this forum and we will soon be advising of an AGM but in the meantime we would like to hear from anyone who has a car that they think is compliant to contact me.

We are also in the planning stages of a programme of race meetings for this coming season and would like as much support as possible.
Planned Meetings are..

MG Classic, Manfeild in November
Taupo Historic GP, January.
Legends of Speed, HD, March.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers
Bruce
