More on "my" 'Just a Mix of Pics' thread from Saturday. Not many loaded, as it takes ages to sort out what I have taken, eliminate the dross then save a copy to shrink for this website.
Great crowd on Saturday from quite early on - and they were still rolling in when I left. Big smiles all round.

Pretty sure my childhood carsickness would come rushing back if I tried this
Looks a bit like one of those elongated skateboards

Never let anyone tell you they don't drive these old girls hard. 4 wheel drift in this shot, a dab of opposite lock and the inside front off the deck.

The Elva-DKW has to be one of my favourite cars at every NZFMR.

Mine too! Noisy, smoky, engine at the front, immaculately presented. Nice pics as always.

ERC numbers for the coming weekend have dropped due to mechanical maladies. Down now to a grid of 46 cars and just 8 reserves...
A limited number of the ERC posters will be on sale from the programme kiosk in the paddock at $5 - profits to the local Te Kauwhata Primary School.
Hope you keen photographers get some good pics this coming weekend - though the weather forecast is a little erratic at the moment...

Well that's still a very healthy grid. Your cars were sorely missed on weekend 1
I have to say that as a paying spectator, I was a bit disappointed with some of the grid sizes on Saturday.
Festival publicity was trumpeting that there were 50+ F5000 entries whereas the reality was 22 starters for Saturday afternoon.
When your expectations are high, you can't help but be disappointed when they're not met.
However, having said that, I'd like to praise all the competitors that did turn up and race.
Hope that next weekend goes well
Cheers
Nigel
