    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

    I fully understand the amount of effort that goes into something like this and very often for no reward whatsoever at the end of the day. Kiwi's seem to be the main people who can get themselves organised to go overseas and stand the expense to help other race organisers create a great show for their spectators.

    Your so rite Kiwi285, i have been travelling to the USA once/twice a year for the last 30 years and they(yanks) think its like going to the moon(or something) but i do the PR work and follow it up and then out of the blue i have the odd one stand up like John Watkins(blue 70 Boss at McLaren) and say, "hey" i'll do this!!! and when i shipped my own Mustang up last year for the Shelby Nationals well that just stun'd them!! they thought i was some sort of "money guy" when infact i was the poorest guy there!! but out of all this i've meet some real nice friendly people and thats what i really enjoy!!!

    And as for us Kiwi's, one of my American mates thats been down here several times thinks that there are more than 4.5 million of us, because he say's we are everywhere!! even when he vactioned and travelled on the Siberian express several years ago he shared a cabin with a couple of guys from Dunedin!!

    In the mean time i'll keep pushing to get these guys down here!!!
