Sadly Kevin Clark passed away quite a while ago.
I was at Calder for that race ( if I have the date right) when Paul held off Alan Jones after the rear wing broke on Paul’s Ralt. Several other F1 guys were running there too, Laffite and Piquet if...
Maurice Cowling was a great speedway driver, the King of Bay Park!
The Dave Simpson Allcomers Anglia.
Well deserved trophy and accolades, the Monaro restoration deserves a book of its own. Congratulations John!
Hopefully no more hurricanes the size of Florence to deal with! I plan to register the A40 for road use as Peter Bennett did in NZ, so I can give it a run/systems check before heading off to the...
Good news Steve, I will order a couple of copies online, obviously I'm especially looking forward to the Bennett A40 article!
And regarding the A40, I've optimistically booked for Watkins Glen...
Ray, is the US track Upper Marlboro?
I'm a Kiwi Ray, been living up here for just 20 years although before that I visited US often (and Australia). I'm moving to coastal North Carolina soon, should have been late last year but hurricane...
Benalla?
Oran Park?
Bruce, thanks for the info, I don't want to do a replica of an existing car so will do more research. Hopefully can find a rough original of one of the missing Allcomers Anglias - Nazer, Sprague,...
Hi Bruce, I will start work on the Anglia after we get back on our feet after repairing the damage from the two hurricanes
last September and October. Probably take most of 2019 to get back to...

Ray and Paul
I've worked on this car for a couple of years, didn't realise until a week ago that the nose was removable....
Could have saved myself a few skinned knuckles if I had taken...
The orange Ford in the foreground has the late Ross Atkins' name on the cockpit surround but I thought he had a BT18 but this car certainly doesn't look like a Brabham! It could be the one-off...
No XA bodies but when I first visited there circa 2004 there were five new Allan Mann GT40 chassis on the "shelves".
The factory went through a period of deterioration after the adjacent Charlotte...

Any info on car #66?
When I was about 16 I acquired a Ford 10 powered Mistral from a guy with the surname Simcock, lived near Oahu and worked for the Ford dealer in Levin. Can't recall what happened to that car, hope...
Car 54, where are you (now)??
Hi John - in my teens I saw Peter racing the A40 at Levin, spectacular! We hope to run a few iconic events in USA - Watkins Glen, Laguna Seca and Sonoma if the hurricanes take a break for a year or...
Hi Ken, thanks for posting the Monaro pics, brought back some great memories of Bay Park and Levin. Hope you are well out of harms way where you are located in California! Can't believe all these...
Bruce, very informative post, what an interesting life Ron Grable had. I recall reading somewhere that he did stunt driving in the original Bullit movie - fact or fiction, do you know? I was at Bay...
The group I run with up here - SVRA (Sportscar Vintage Racing Association) is very good with allowing you make corrections for the next meeting while allowing you to race in the current one unless...
[QUOTE=RogerH;67469]We seem to have the bizarre situation where MSNZ are (correctly) stating that the use of FHR will be unsafe in certain circumstances (such as not having the correct FIA specified...
I have shipped car and parts together too via GT Logistics too, great service.
