Welcome back TRS we missed you.
Parity taken too far, removes innovation and invention from the sport.
Thanks for the comments.
Just to add to the above is the question "Has Supercars gone completely overboard with the search for PARITY"?
Part of the problem as I see it, is that the cars aren't "real" anymore. In the "good old days" we started with a real car and built it into a race (or rally) car according to the rules for the class...
Thanks for that Ray. I think the word that best describes New Zealand's history in motorsport is innovation, in other words making do with what was available at the time, or having to adapt or...
Just a thought to start a discussion based on recent questions about classic racing.
So you want to go racing in one of the controlled formulas. TCR or TA2 spring to mind. But here lies the problem...

I see where Dennis passed on Dec 11. RiP Dennis.

I see in today's Herald that Roy Harrington died 21/4.
Years ago we'd all be at or heading for Baypark for the Easter meeting. How times change and how I, along with many others, miss the "good old days".

Did John Cannon race in NZ in the early 1970s?
Happy Christmas Ken. 997 or 998?
I see in today's Herald a death notice for Ray Olenius, a name I remember from some time back.
Ron and Dave Bjerring were first cousins. Ron passed a few years back.
Inflation was alive and well between 1951 and 1954 I see.
I hope you realise Roger that reproducing the programme cover so that the cigarette advertising is prominent is just a tade naughty.
I was there and well remember the incident.

I remember a Ross Meekings 80s or 90s rallies in I believe a Toyota Corolla.
Te Pirita and Dunsandel are in Mid Canterbury nowhere near Dunedin.
