Event: 2013 Australian Muscle Car Masters

[prn31]

Its on this weekend folks. The 2013 Australian Muscle Car Masters, one of the most significant historic racing events on the Aussie racing calendar.

Ellis French has already posted up the programme and entry list here

Natsoft are posting the qualifying and race results as they happen throughout the weekend here

Thanks to Brent Murray from At Speed Images, we'll be posting up photos from the event from early next week.

This is the Starlight Blue XW Falcon GT Auto raced by Charlie Smith and Bill Ford at the 1969 Bathurst 500 where it finished 9th outright.

The car is now owned by Leo di Natale and I wrote a story on this Bathurst survivor for Australian Muscle Car magazine (#66) earlier this year.

85 year old Charlie Smith was down to drive the GT in the demonstration laps.

Unfortunately I was unable to catch up with Leo and Charlie on the day as I was chasing up another 1969 Bathurst car for a future article!
