HRC Series Finale, two day meeting. Just the Sunday for me as the Hooters cars were only doing Sunday. Wet practice, so a good opportunity to try out the waterproof cover I'd made for the camera. It seemed to work OK but the monopod, fully extended, is a few inches too low for me.
The mixed grid provided some interesting car combinations. How often has an Austin A30, even a Speedwell one, had a Formula Junior Jocko filling its mirrors? This is now Tim's cover photograph on his Facebook page. He emerged from practice with a shredded fanbelt so VCC Scrutineer, Kevin, was busy replacing it afterwards, so that Tim could race again.
Not sure that a MSNZ Scrutineer would be happy with Bevan's roll bar height...
French car, British engine. The Roycroft Bugatti Jaguar.

Some useless info.
It belongs to my son and we are on the final stages after a complete body off restoration. This car is a Jet 6. The French dropped the "D" in the name for these last models. It is No.139 of 222 Jet 6s made during '67 and '68. This one being a '68. An estimate of about 70 remaining.
Regards, Francois.
Thanks Francois. I might have guessed you had something to do with it! Thanks also for the info about the 'D' being dropped. I didn't know that.
Like Nigel found a couple of days ago, no pic uploading option at the moment.
Its back...
The Jocko is going very well these days.

2KCUP CARS. Some may not be classics or historics as yet, but I took the pics, so may as well show them! Will return to the Hooters grid later.

There's more than a few cars in that class that I'd be happy to pay $2K for!!! Who do we see to put our bid in?
I agree Nigel. Maybe a couple were allowed in from the BMW Enduro from Saturday, but others were genuine U2K Cup.

Back to one of my all time favourite groups. Front engined Formula Juniors.
Honda Cup
Super lap contenders.
Then the combined grid of Super Six, Minis, Star cars etc. A good mix and far better than 3 or 4 small grids.
