Friggen signwriters are worst than me Jac

[color="#0000FF"]Don't I know it, Woody's stock car often had the signwriter running alongside as we pushed it onto the trailer correcting his spelling mistakes, he used to hate it as the paint was usually still drying from panel replacements making the brush drag like crazy, no excuses for that any more with stick on stuff and computers to generate a preview...[/color]

Must be tricky being a pin striper in Hawaii having to maneuver around the inevitable rust !

I don't know - I think both spellings convey the message quite well.

Ad for this weekend, can't wait to have you guys over for the first of three weekends this year.

From the Entry List...

Where is Craig Staceys Javelin these days. It was left over here after the last trip was it not? If I remember the post correctly at the time it was possibly going to appear at a couple more random meetings?

For those who want to watch HMC at Queensland Raceway this weekend, here is a link to a livestream provided by Queensland Raceways that will operate from around 8:30am (QLD time) on Saturday.

Cheers Dewi.

A couple of photos of each car today for practice ahead of the Shannons 2 Days of Thunder.
All cars going well so far, Glenn Allingham turned the first laps of his new Camaro, spirits high and looking forward to a great weekend!

The four NZ cars could not keep up with the front pack today as Charlie O'Brien lowered the lap record in each race and set a qualifying in the 1:18s, which we have not seen before in Trans-Am, in saying that, most of the Kiwis have improved on their times from two years ago. Unfortunately Kevin Gimblett suffered an engine misfire and is out for the weekend, but was scheduled to stay at Woody's garage anyway in the break between QR and Lakeside for suspension work. Should be a great day today!

Outstanding work Dewi, really enjoying the updates and pics. gotta love social media. Can you post some pics of the Aussie cars please?

A few shots from today, some fantastic racing through the field to cap off an amazing weekend! I'll have some photos up on the Aus Trans-Am website soon with the Aussie cars plus a highlights video coming soon.

An excellent weekends racing at Qld Raceway & very well run with blue skys & low 20`s temperatures. Great driving & car preparation by the Trans-Am boys though the crowd was smaller than I expected. Looking forward to Lakeside.

Had an absolute blast on the weekend racing with our Aussie friends in Australian Trans Am. They had the addition of several new cars plus our 4 HMC cars to make up a great field. The racing was very competitive and good fun but also just as much fun off the track as in these pictures. Got to make new friends, meet new people and catch up with old mates and talk about perfect weather WOW, it just doesn't get any better than this. The highlight was the out of the box performance of Glenn Allinghams new HMC 70 Camaro, never turned a wheel and he was on the pace, a broken rocker dropped him out of 2 races but they soon repaired that, the Aussies thought his car was very cool.
