The Roaring Season

ERC wrote:First draft of our poster for the event. All pics are my own other than a couple (75 & 616) and the two spaces will be filled - if not by two new cars to the series, then by Jaguar logos in the bottom corners. Cars 36 & 31. Car 31 was at the track Sunday but as it hadn't yet turned a wheel in anger, it stayed on the trailer. Driver of car 36 apparently fell off a 1 horsepower device and broke a rib...

I need to get on the outside and take some pics from R to L.

Hi Ray, just my opinion, but who are you aiming the poster too? If it is to the competitors, this is great. But if to the public, it's too busy. We have exactly this type of format 10 years ago for the NZRC, and it flopped. However; posters with one or two exciting pictures were taken faster than they could be put out. Just an opinion, it's good you are putting in the effort

So many drivers that we had to go to A1 - and even then, no signature space.

As an inveterate poster collector for many years, if I was a kid at the Festival I'd be making a determined effort to try and get as many drivers as possible to sign it!

As a piece of memorabilia for the drivers and series supporters, a great reminder that whereas Tier 1 can only come up with a handful of identical cars, in our neck of the woods, all is healthy. They may not be future F1 stars, but in the real world in which we (classic and historic supporters) live, these are the legends who keep motorsport alive. Maybe you'd like to take one to hang in Wellington's ivory towers as a reminder!

As JAFA has already indicated, an ideal poster for the Man Cave or garage wall and for me, in years to come, a visual personal reminder of a great bunch of very supportive and appreciative guys, at a Festival that honours one of NZ's finest drivers.

I'll be getting one framed.

First time out in public so could be a bit shy, but you should be able to get a photo or 2.

ERC wrote:No problem JAFA. I'll keep a couple for you. (Check out final design in the ERC thread.) I have upped the order from 500 to 600 but will keep some back for any series driver, past or present just as long as they let me know. May even see if I can get a couple framed anyway and raffle them for Child Cancer at the awards dinner.

I'm sure Howden Ganley would be happy to sign a couple for us - especially if I add his photograph to them. May even try and get him to autograph my original Marlboro BRM Howden Ganley sticker and the wall in our unit, to match the Chris Amon autograph!
