I've been a fan all my life. Two particular cars were a big influence on me at a young age;

1. The Night Riders stolen black HQ Monaro in Mad Max 1, which exited the movie in a ball of flames.
2. The ex-Jim Richards Jerry Clayton owned HQ Monaro that was raced out of Waikaraka Park speedway, and eventually ended up at my local speedway in Palmerston North, owned by Bill Dorn, and painted up like an American flag. With tall injector stacks bursting through the hood and open exhausts, it was a real weapon.

So how about a thread dedicated to 1st and 2nd gen Holden Monaros, from HK - HZ in 2 and 4 door form. There were several raced in speedway in Australia and New Zealand, plus in production car racing including Bathurst. From there they competed in Improved Production in Aus, and Sports Sedans on both sides of the Tasman

Today, there are several that race in Australia in both historic racing and the Touring Car Masters series.
