Fantastic video here put together by Dewi Jones, from the Australian Trans-Am Association. Awesome work Dewi! Turn up the volume folks:

I can fully endorse what Paul has said - the arrangements were first class and I can't think of anything that you forgot. All the recipients of Steve's thoughtfulness were absolutely blown away. Just ask the Jones boys. All we needed was for the bloody Aussie taxi buses to actually arrive. They were two hours late in finally picking us up so there were some bleary eyes at 6.30 on Sunday morning and the guys had to race. It was bad enough just spectating.

After looking at Dewi's video I would have to ask where else in the southern hemisphere could you see a field of 24 historic 1960's V8 muscle cars on track together and their driver giving them a bit of wellie to boot.

Yes GD66, that is the "real" Moffat transporter, Bowdens used it to transport one of the Mustangs to Lakeside on the Sunday.
