There are 12 Kiwi F5000's going to Laguna Seca and 45 F5000's in the races. The split between the early cars, pre 1971 classed as 'A' cars and the later post 1971 'B' cars is about 50/50. The hardest...

Thanks Michael and thanks to HSRC for organising, We'll be there.

Good shooting Nigel. This was a good event despite the weather. Mainly fine, 240 competitors, 36 races - it doesn't get much better than that!

Hi Ray
It was never stated that 50 cars would be racing. The promotional material specifically said there would be 50+ cars at the Festival. This is what was achieved. 26 cars were racing, 10 were...

Hi Dale
It was a privilege to collect the Sybil Lupp trophy for you on Saturday night. People were saying a lot of nice things about you, but I put them right. I alluded to your dream and vision of...

I don't think any one can beat the Stanley Steamer 1902 till present as the Estima!

The Alfa twin cam, all Aluminium, hemi heads etc was produced in almost identical form from 1954 to the present, from 1300 through to 2000cc. The variations that are still in use to day have twin...

Cool shots Mike.
Even the Corvette's running the homologated big flares and is that a Bolwell in front of the Datsun in the third picture?

Thanks Parnelli.
You have pointed out the problems, but what's the solution?

Hi Ray
You will run a fancy foreign car and then complain that you can't get bits, wheels, tyres etc - you're not English are you?

The answer may be to specify a minimum treadware rating, as is...

Hi Howard
I'm one of the people emailing Ray off line to ruin his lunch!
Personally I don't think these tyres are in the 'spirit' of the regulations. They may be DOT approved, but a testing station...

"Yes Nzeder, great job you’re doing and very informative and I admit my knowledge of 240’s is very limited hence great to have you on here!!

Personally I have no issue’s racing with Rickys Z and...

Hi Ray
A couple of thoughts on the series.
The tyre question is looming and we saw one car with the Hankook Ventus twin striped tyres in the weekend. This is the tyre that the Central Muscle Car...

Remember the Bruce McLaren Trust has 100,000 photographs running from the 50's to the 90's. They have owned these for 14 years now and have been steadily scanning and cataloguing them.

Mmmmm yes smoke and excrement - maybe a lawnmower is less pollution, especially if Loosehead Len issued hand mowers!

ban lawnmowers - Len Brown should issue one sheep to each household, then we could eat it for Christmas!
Sheep are very quiet and tasty!

Great work Royce. All historic formula ford drivers need to get behind this series to ensure the fields remain large enough to keep it viable for promoters. From the competitors I spoke to, they all...

Yes, A top bloke!

Hi Dale

HRC sets its race calendar 9 - 12 months out and endeavours to avoid other peoples events, but it seems that they often have little regard or knowledge of our events and often move from...

Yes, greasy little lawyer!
95% of lawyers give the rest a bad name!

The best mayor we had in a while was Les Mills, no PC rubbish, honest and hard working.

Are you alluding to Len Brown?

Very perceptive of you Holmes!

Rod!!!
You are being so harsh. Even the Greenies have a place - fertiliser!

Hi NZEDER
There are several FIA Sports Car categories that range from Production Sports Cars, GTS through to Sports Racing Cars. New Zealand has never had a production sports car class, so you are...
