Hi Malcolm,

Cheers Mike

Action from day 2.[ATTACH=CONFIG]17044[/ATTACH]

This '39 Ford coupe is interesting. Got any more info on this? There was a similar '39 Ford featured in NZ Hot Rod mag a couple of years ago, owned by the same bloke since the '60s, and mildly modified in the period. If its the same one I think from memory those are Peugeot tail lights he grafted on to the rear.

What happened to Bruce - an off I am guessing.

Those of us at HD heard that it not only ended up on its lid, but it was rolled well and truly. We also had a message to say that the Custaxie and Clark Proctor's Escort were also damaged. Someone might like to confirm?

The display of so many cars of so many makes and years was a sight for old eyes ,the green 39 V8 Rob Williams went well, a long time since brake and tyre noise has been heard, the cream 36 coupe with his own {Allan Willey? }Auto Resrorations fuel injection was driven up from Christchurch and went great {and why would I not drive it up he said} The Lycoming was never better,.The hillclimb was a little boring but thats just me getting old,Fred C in his Northlnd Sp just loved it young Martin in the Camry said its the best raceday he has had!!!Years since I have seen such a display, Proctor hit the front then later a rear corner, also spun his single seater when low flying .Just home in time to see Mitch 3rd

I will let other people elaborate but......Bruce Manons Escort is SEVERELY damaged....hit a tree! Procters Escort had some damage but was beaten out by his boys.....Custaxie undamaged as far as I could see......Amco Mini....I hesitate to tell this, but on his final run today, after getting into the top ten shootout for pre75 cars, Angus clipped a curb up in the 'forest' and one of our dear old mags finally cried enough and disintegrated. The tyre immediately deflated sending Angus into the hay bales.....more frontal damage to fix.....shit!!!!

BUT..... a great day. lots of wonderful cars, caught up with a lot of old mates, and even got to meet fellow poster on here....Oldfart, alias Rhys Nolan. So we had a good old chin-wag about all the lads on the roaring season.......good stuff!

And a big crowd, despite the rather eye-watering $95 entrance fee. Got to be fit though, there is a lot of hill climbing to do, and that's not just the cars.
