Thanks for your constructive Ray. Appreciate we are getting the initial programs up on an extremely small budget. We want to involve you all as historic motorsport followers in this endeavour and...

Thanks for the feedback ERC. I'll follow up on the Sky programme guide.

Consideration given to using this forum for suggestions on content, on questions you would like asked if we have advance...

Hi Guys - Well after some issues, holdups, false alarms we knocked it off! The current series (weekly half hour shows) will feature an interview, a machine, and a historic racing news section....

Mt Maunganui hosted car and bike race meetings on Totara Street in the mid sixties immediately prior to Baypark being built in 1967/68. They were hugely well attended meetings and included several...

Great lineup Dale, guaranteed crowdpleaser of the weekend! Wouldn't it make sense to take it on for a third consecutive weekend at Taupo, including the Aussies. Two variations of Hampton Downs plus...

Thanks Roger.

It's been about 35 years since I've been an event promotor but I reckon some things haven't changed. The "promotor' ( who ought to have a stake in the financial success of the...

Thanks for the background Ray. The answer is no. As a diehard HMC supporter I get good info from Dale and his guys. These guys really promote their class well as do others, eh?

But when it comes...

The thought of a bunch of Cosworth DFVs and the odd V12 mixing it with the rowdy F5000s gets my juices flowing but I can't find anything better than a sports cafe blog that dates back to June or a...

Nah mate,

Colin the photographer is quite a bit younger and less hairy - haven't seen the other one for a while! Colin has been avidly pushing motorsport and motoring with the BOPT for quite a few...

A lot of similarities between Frank and Graham. Determined, creative, talented, turned out beautiful cars which they drove with enormous verve. Sad passing, thanks for the memories Frank.

People like him should NEVER be able to buy a Ferrari 330P4. :mad:

Terry, what I think is that it is 010 in F2 guise with 1.6 litre V6 and the earlier (F2) bodywork.

Then again on the body issue, your magazine cover clearly shows Amon in the #4 246T at an Aussie...

I can't recall any Tasman 246T ever appearing with bodywork that didn't include upper engine cover. And for that matter the line of the bodywork at the rear doesn't look right at all. The bodywork...

I remember stumbling around in the kitchen at my parents' place getting ready for school and being slammed by the radio news bulletin. It was as though I had lost a friend even though I had never met...

Of course in the modern world public denials need to be treated cautiously. Where there's smoke there's fire is generally a good guideline. Given a figure ($13.5 Million) was mentioned it sounds like...

Private buyout of the fallen into disrepair Lakeside in Queensland a few years ago seems to have been overall a positive for the facility from what I've heard - upgrades, improved relationships with...

"Premiere" racing classes will never again live up to the description due to the increasingly professional and expensive nature of world motorsport IMHO. Toyota Racing Series is as good as it's...

Nice one Dewi (and Awyn). You certainly covered the ground over the first 3 days and picke up some lovely angles and captured the spirit of ATA v HMC.

Yep, it looks like HMC is around to stay - for at least the foreseeable future. I got to talk with some of the Aussie TransAm guys on Saturday and things are rebuilding nicely there too (41 cars on...

What, no Boss Mustang entered? Or are you just keeping mum on your details Dale? Was that 800HP mate???

On a more serious note are we going to see a Kiwi Cuda? How long before we see the ex-Red...

Breathtaking "fly on the wall" record of a great piece of motor racing history, thankyou Ken. Much appreciated.

Obviously Greeta Hulme on stopwatches in foreground but who's the guy next to her on timing???

I don't know if I dreamed it or if someone actually did tell me that the actual Fahey FVA Escort is being put back together. Does anyone have any knowledge on this? I would have thought any such...
