    Yes very good question John. I have seen a few over the years but most display it beside their race number.
    I do not know if that is correct but when you see a car with it you know they are special.

    Perhaps we could get some others point of view on this.....

    I am trying to locate someone involved with motor racing living on the North Shore that had a yellow/orange LJ Torana GTR , and was building it up for the Muscle Cars.
    He sold the rolling body to Steve Bennenbroeke in about 1995.
    Maybe somebody may remember this car back then, or even who owned it.
    He cant remember the place, sure the car had been involved in competition , was stripped ready for full race conversion when he bought it. Was not complete with interior

    I will stand to be corrected, but surely this is a nod to the driver, especially while the Marina is being finished

    seaqnmac27- Very perceptive and totally correct.
    As an original Sports Sedan driver, and a racer since 1965, Graeme Park is racing this as an Invited Allcomer.
    Marina will be back at its sizzling best at Hampton Downs in January.

    John neat guys, but you have got a real beauty in Jennifer Mossman, and well done by you.

    Hi All, a really great turn out of cars and well done to all concerned. Just a question though on the Addis Charger and Sheweiry Mustang, I was kinda hoping to see these two but they are not listed, are they still planning to race these two cars again in the future if not at this meeting. Thanks to you all for getting these awesome cars back on the track again. Fans do appreciate the effort involved.
