Hi Steve
Loving your photos and I love this era of Group C Sports Cars. My understanding is that the 1991 winning chassis is in the Mazda Museum in Hiroshima.
Anthony
This is a discussion that needs to be had. I acknowledge that my ideas are but a mere dream and I honestly don`t see a lot changing in my life time. I will go and watch dad race but these days I live...
Hi rf84
You raise an interesting point regarding the number of circuits. Where would we be if they had not of built Hampton Downs? Using Pukekohe more than we now appear to? Would we therefore...
Further to your last post Ray...I have no desire to see speed groups at these meets (fine if promoters want to do this at their standalone meets) but at HRC meets lets stick to actual race classes...
Hi Ray
I have edited Pre 65 from Modern to Classic. The BMW Series is a strange one but I will leave it with Classic in this instance.
Personally I have no problem with more modern cars...
Hi Bruce
I left out Central as they are a law unto themselves and appear to enjoy appearing at the large standalone events and some Speedworks events. Northern and Production are Auckland Car Club...
You raise some great points Allan on a subject that keeps me awake at night:) I really am joking but I do ponder this from time to time. Over the summer we have 4 entities running events on the 4...
And I would volunteer to help you guys create something of our own:)

Where were all the Heritage Touring Cars from Australia? What would that have cost? Jim Barclay may well have succeeded where Tony Quinn failed. And what about display laps? There are cars out there...
Without trying to hijack Rays` thread too much...the Bathurst Festival was crap! Very little effort invested I felt. My dream would be a Touring Car themed event with separate grids for Group C,...
The trick for all these groups is how to achieve consistent appearances from those competitors that state they will support the various race groups...I bet all groups have been let down in this...
Hi Bruce
Now I see where you are going with this...and I totally agree with your point regarding the Monaro and Falcon. I always assumed that this situation was to help John with grid sizes and...
I am not sure what the real issue is here. Possibly the use of the word `historic`? How many genuine cars do we have in HMC and HSC...maybe a similar number to what HSS has? The simple truth is a...
The racing is not so important...seeing these cars out there is what counts. They have the Heritage Hot Lap sessions at Muscle Car Masters and we could seriously adopt that concept here. The cars...
Thanks for replying John. Is there a chance we could get the 3 cars grouped out on the front stretch for photos?
Anthony Sampson
Thanks Bruce302 for replying. Do you plan to race the car once finished?

Hi John
Is the Custom Card Camaro the car entered by Tony Antonievich?
Also is the Coppins Firebird racing as I don`t see it on the entry list?
Overall the entries are quite healthy which...
At the end of the day any structure is at risk and if you are building a new house in the city and have the means, then install a sprinkler system. PROTECT WHAT YOU VALUE. Unfortunately structural...
It is true that most fires do take hold very quickly and on occasion the `local` fire appliance might be out of area. This scenario you mention would suggest that both of the Devonport appliances and...
For anyone building new houses or other structures out in rural areas, it is strongly recommended that a sprinkler system is installed as part of the build. When I was in the Blenheim VFB we did a...
The other car was down at the panelbeaters. Knowing where this was it is also no surprise that the shed was burned to the ground. Rural areas rely very much on their local volunteer Fire Brigades...
I am going to go out on a limb here.
Maybe `Icebreaker` is not prestigious enough, whereas the `Festival` is. Imagine that HMS were invited to race at the Supercar meet each year. I have a fair...
Hi Guys, I have been reading through this thread and nobody has mentioned anything about another possible buyer. Mr Quinn might not be the one interested in buying Taupo as I have heard another name...
Footage on 3 News. It looked like the sweeper heading onto the front stretch. Not what we like to hear. My thoughts are with the drivers family and friends at this time.
