Historic Sport Sedans

[John McKechnie]

Can someone tell a confused spectator what was the story with the "handicapped" final HSS race yesterday afternoon? Also, how is a Toyota Starlet considered a HSS? As a spectator, I'd have rather seen 4dnuts Escort than the Starlet, which was over-enthusiastically driven.....

Habu-
Peter Hooper was crewing on a Toyota back then .
He built a replica of what was running then, I was working at Wrightcars Toyota and I know what is on his car is acceptable period.
The aim of this class has always been to get the original cars back - Shellsport cars were part of the grid then, and regular readers of this thread will know I have always talked of getting them back.
I personally take my hat off in admiration to Peter for his bravery in happily running his car with HSS- look at the way he and the black XB Coupe were side by side
Ivan in his Escort was highly praised by the starters for controlling the rolling start-I was on the start platform and I totally agree

Thanks for the reply John. I guess the best way forward for HSS, is to have a dedicated class for Shellsport / Shellsport style cars to run in, if they have the numbers and wish to have a stand alone class for cars to run in, of similar capacity. Yes, Ivan drove very well considering the physical size of the competitors surrounding him.
