Isnt it amazing. Looking through the entry list you are hard pressed to find a Mini racing any more. What has happened ? Are we too slow now, or have real Minis joined the ranks of the too valuable.....Mk 1 Lotus Cortinas etc....to risk space on the track. Owners spend, in one case in excess of $100,000 on their cars, so are reluctant to risk damage......stone or otherwise. It seems to me that this is general over all Classic meetings in NZ.......Australia manages to get a good bunch of Minis to race together but not here, where once upon a time.....like the fairy story, there were masses of them, and Anglias, which also seem to have disappeared. If it hasnt got a V8 well forget about it........I see I was entered in the 1986 Whitakers event, and my times were pretty woeful compared to what is par these days......
