Gerald, to add to my previous comments, and in regards to your `convenience' remark, 43 or 44 cars in our first race at the festival was just bullshit.That is why a select few such as the likes of your Mini -with you driving it - and the `actual' small cars of that era of NZ motorsport, such as the Willment Escort, are good to race with, so long as they are on the same enjoyment page. Sure with the interest in HMC and the projected growth of the class, we`ll be able to field 20 - 25 cars regularily which is a good grid in itself, and that will happen.
Glenn Allingham and I had some great real close racing on the second weekend of the festival in our Camaros, and we had little cars all over us in the corners, but those particular guys - apart from one???? - gave us room to manoeuvre, which was great.
The U3L is quite a mixed bag, with a lot of the cars in that group being able to run in many different catergories, whereas with HMC we`re trying to showcase a period correct big banger class, that if the response from the public at the two weekends of the festival is any indication, is what they want to see.

I think Alan Boyle would up to having a go behind the wheel of the Viva. He seems a sprightly sort of Gent. Had a long chat with him at the second weekend. We were sitting in the Mini and he said that the front passenger seat looked familiar. He had actually made a mould in the late 60's, and Rod was one of the racers who bought a pair for the Amco mini. We have the drivers seat as well but arent allowed to use it!!!!!!! Rules dont you know.

Isnt it amazing who you meet up with at these gatherings......far better than the driving.

Hi Mike, thanks. The PDL Mustangs and Moffat Capri would be too modern. The cut-off would be the end of 1973. PDL I originally began racing in 1970, but raced right through to the early 1980s, and has since been restored to its 1975/76 period.

Gerald- Do you have to run the original mini front seat for schedule K or the racing seat used for the year you specified.
Also do you have to have one seat or all seats for this schedule K
