No I agreed with Graeme on that one ,that closing speed difference especially on the Back Straight at Puke was dam dangerous ,now that is coming from some one who on paper should have benefited from the Handicap races ,but sorry I got run off the track too many times down the back straight back in those days especially on the fastest part after the kink ,its not a matter of watching the mirrors ,its the closing speed of the faster cars ,you are there before they even have time to notice

But then that is only my opinion and hey as a democratic class it goes by majority vote. Graeme's concern was the huge speed difference say on pukes back straight and taking someone out who makes a quick move into the path of a way faster car and remember, he is one of the people who got off his chuff and fronted up. An interesting comment from Barrie Algie was that he still has lots of things to change on the car that aren't quite right which to me makes me wonder whether everyone there had a grip on the fact that the idea was for a class for HISTORIC sports sedans. Anyway the great thing is that none of this is completely set in concrete yet it is underway. But and I must stress this It is definitely going to be formed by the nucleus of people who turn up for those first few meets so anybody who thinks this is a worth while class needs to get along to those first meets and support it, remember "use it or lose it" Here endeth the fifth lesson lol. Cheers. George.
