I know it's only just begun, but it sure would be appreciated to see and read about the event activities from those in attendance.
Thanks,
Chad

Saturday. There are some Historic Saloon Photos on that thread as well.
Great to see the Aussie Trans Am racers over there having a run. Nice shot of the JIm Richards Escort lifting a wheel as well.
Awesome photos, god it would be nice to see that many F5000's racing in anger over here.
Good to see some mighty Mini's chasing the big fella's.
Thanks
Ian
Great photos and videos! Thanks for all of these. The weather seems a bit more cooperative than 2011.
I'm also looking forward to hearing how those Goodyear Blue Streaks served some of the Historic Muscle Car drivers.
Any more updates are also appreciated.

Is there a better sound in Motor Racing than this?
Think the Shannons meeting at Phillip Island in March will probably have a bigger field than at Hampton Downs this weekend AND think if the rumours are right the Muscle Car Masters races at Eastern Creek (later this year) will be bigger F5000 turn-out again!Originally Posted by lisian_1275
A really good drive from Howard Wood from here on this forum in his BMW in the wet ,this morning and a real sterling performance like wise from Jim Richards in his race this morning ,Jims overtaking move over the hill into the infield hairpin on a wet greasy track you had to see to believe,neat clean and so effective
Howard won the race of the weekend - real giant killing stuff, brilliant.
And no - it ain't a turbo!

Chad, just got back home after a fantastic weekend(rather tired), unfortunately today (Sunday) morning we had light rained but clear later in the day. Saturday was superb but very hot and humid, i eased into the Goodyear's slowly and managed grid 3 for the first race and finished second, the afternoon race was a reverse top 10 so i was grid 9th, i leaned on the Goodyear's a bit more and set my fastest ever lap time around Hampton at 1:15.5 and took 2nd, but not only that, the Boss looked great. All the Australian Trans Am cars ran 15" TD Hoosiers and put on a fantastic display of handling and driving ability, those in HMC resisting the change are now convinced!! and the inquiry over the weekend was non stop, expect to see more on 15's in the future. And we have next weekend to boot, but honestly Chad, 7 Camaros, 6 Mustangs, Craigs Javelin other Falcons and Holdens, etc made for an amazing grid line up!! more to come.
