I went and visited Charlie Conway today. At 88 he Lives now days at Selwyn Village retirement home and is still very with it. He would love to see some of you old work and race buddies some...

Unfortunately there were only 3 Trans am cars running but it was neat to see Greg Picket win the race in his beautiful Mustang. Shame I didn't know you were there would have liked to caught up with...

Wow that was pretty cool seeing Jim in the Siddy racing around the track. I wonder if that was the first meeting he ran in Aussie?

Grants probably right Jac, handling has never been my strong point and everything was so secretive as well. The mustang boys were able to get their cars to hook up with a bar off the top of the diff...

28 cars has been fun alright, too many really but its time to downgrade so 4 have gone and another 2 soon. Yes the Comet does suffer from understeer and I have slowly been working on getting it...

Well that's right Grant and that's why a lot of people shy away from them, but while they are slotting in another box between race 1 and race 2 I am sitting there cool calm and collected ready to go,...

Very "period" isn't it Steve!!

That reminds me, a certain Boss Mustang running a Jerico from Tauranga had to sit behind a dirty old Mercury Comet with a Big shaft Toploader that took 1st place. Mind you I wasn't invited back...

Well if its the same box then you did a pretty good job of it then Jac Mac because its still in the car, still goin strong and before each race I leave the pits sideways onto the track. I can break...

I think this was a combined club circuit ACC/NSCC event my first season racing. I was about 17 years old and had not long purchased the ex Francevic Falcon. My first GT is the XT parked next to me...

A buddy of mine Dave Downie who owned the local Mobil Service station on the corner of Carr Rd and Hayr Rd Mt Roskill recently sent me this photo he took of the Sidchrome on the trailer behind the ex...

And an action shot through the new chicane on the back straight39729

Here she is today sitting on the dummy grid as last raced at November Puke ACC meeting. The wheels now days are Magnesium BBS racing rims 17x13 on the rear and 17x11 front. 39728

That day I think I clocked a 1.10 or 11 on slicks around there where as now days to basically the same set of rules but on 180 tread wear road tyres my best time around the old circuit was 1.06.33...

This is one of the first times I ran the genuine Cobra (minus front spoiler that day) as you can see by the different number plate and the rear side indicator is horizontal instead of vertical on the...

This photo of the Cobra at Baypark shows the one and only time I actually got some sponsorship. I had started to do a little work on the suspension by then although it was just Konis all round and...

Well I think I first raced the rep in 1979 and in 1983 I was on my way back from a race in Taupo and saw a genuine Cobra (#211) for sale at Gary Thiefs, oops I mean Kieths in Hamilton with $20K on...

Heres another in black and white with another one of those pesky chargers I had just got by39724

When the Falcon Cobras came out in 78 I thought they were the prettiest cars I had ever seen and so as I couldn't afford one I built one up using an XA luxury V8 Fairmont I got for $4200.00. I took...

39722I first raced the ex Francevic Falcon in Castrol GTX and after that series finished I ran it in Production Supercars (photo thanks to
Ross Cammick)

Green with envy Dale, Looks like you guys are having a great time of it. Great to see the NZ / Aus comradery. Certainly a lot more Aussie TA cars since the last time you were there. Dont have too...

Crikey, found some more old faded photos of the old girl at my parents place in Hillsborough, must have been only 6 or 7 months after I bought it. Its sitting on an old wakka of a trailor I bought...
