Love these L34/A9X shots Ellis. Whatever happened to the Roadways team? They were quite prominent in Group C in the late '70s and especially the early/mid '80s when Grice came on board.

That's sensational! Thanks GD! That looks like a lot of power for the rubber and a lot of speed down Conrod for the brakes of the time.
Reverse grid actually works a treat in this instance.

Fantastic photos.

Hell Dale bring it on - that would be a real coup and would really bring in the punters for some of the TransTasman set to's that we had years ago.

I'll do my best!! always sounds good on paper until it comes down to action!!!

I had 2 meetings with American Historic Trans Am group while up there twice this year and the Australian Trans Am group at EC a couple of weeks ago!! we have some interest happening but we need more than that!! always its takes some planning but if Peirce/Hanna could do it back in the "ol handshake" days we/I/whoever should beable do it todays much smaller "computorised" world.

Work in progress
