Anyone from here heading down???

David5 and i will be there, getting a special guided tour... Who would want to miss seeing the great kenny Smith in action....

[wayno]

Am in two minds at the moment as the demise of the sports cars is a big problem for me.
Would need to be some pretty special open wheel cars to make me trek down (I know F-5000 will be there but not how many).
Might try for one day but can't see me doing much more than that as the meeting has lost a fair bit of it's interest for me.

40+ F5000s.

Groups C and A

Some very special Alfa-Romeos.

That's enough for me!

I love the big-banger sporties as well, but there's just not room in the program for everything.

Amon fan you can't miss Kenny in action, he gets quicker in the F5000 each year.
he is great to catch up with looking foward to the AGP to see him again, after Ruapuna and Pukekohoe a couple of weeks ago.
he is building up a Lola T332 for next year thinks it should be quick the the T430.

[AmonFan]

Gday Tony, i look forward to seeing Kenny in action, i always do :D
Young Moxo, 35 F5000's entered, im not sure if that includes the F1's or not, as im not sure if P, Q and R are racing, they are on the entry form...

There is a Martini 935 coming over from the Porsche Museum so thats pretty cool..
Bob Holden celebrates 60 years of motor racing...
An Aston Martin DB3S
2 Godzilla's in a 25 car grid of Grp C and A...

A kiwi legend there Laz. Great to watch in the F5000. He definetly has a big go in those things.

[tonynz]

There were 20 plus at Ruapuna back in Jan, went up to Puke there were 28 or so, they had alot more at Hampton Downs the week before.

Amon Fan, I have a photo of Kenny and I taken in 1976 when I was 11, now we have a photo of Kenny and Jordan (my son) taken last year when he was 11. both signed.
He is one of the few people that you talk to that you carry on the conversation from the last time you meet.

Thats awesome Tony... be good if he ended up in the car Andrew Robson races here, as its Kenny's car from 1976. I spotted some pics on the net of David Oxton having a run in the old Begg FM5, they looked fairly recent....

Now you have me thinking about Allan McCully ;)

[tonynz]

Amon Fan, I was talking to him about his old 332, he told me it was in Australia. He has bought one ex USA and should have it ready for next season.
Not sure where David Oxton was driving the FM5,
Next years Festival of Speed will feature Chris Amon's career.

Chris needs to have a run in the Talon ;)

[tonynz]

No idea where the photo is taken.
A couple of years back at Ruapuna Chris sat in the Talon I think I have a photo somewhere, but I can't remember if hw drove it.

Good point, although i'll be stuck here at the shop ;) 1 man show...

[MOTIV8]

Anyone from here heading down???
Yep, I will be down there more than likely will have a couple of cars in the club display as usual and will also be one of two tilt trays on circuit for recoveries (hopefully not required for anything major :() as well as looking at sponsoring a race.

[k1w1taxi]

Not sure where David Oxton was driving the FM5,

IIRC he did a few demo laps during the legends parade at HD. Not sure if he repeated at Puke. The photo though does not look like either of those.

Next years Festival of Speed will feature Chris Amon's career.

Told Jim Barclay at HD that he had better hold Marcus Pye to his claim about persuading the owner of the FA-1 and the owner of several Matras to come down. With that and maybe a P4 it would be a perfect weekend.

Cheers

[smokey_dj]

*still waits* :p
and the bbq idea came up on the w.e b4 you posted about tix so nothing confirmed and is also weather depending

[Leigh]

We can do both:p You go to Clipsal, and we'll drink all your beer;)

I see no downside:D

[smokey_dj]

leigh id say bbq will be a sure thing as i dont think im getting to clipsal so lets just hope we get a hot day so the rest of the plan will work well that is if you and the missus are planning on coming

[Road Runner 72]

[wayno]

Hope the BRM gets punted hard. I know the car wasn't a great success but I'm very interested to hear how the V-12 sounds. :)

[grease]

He might go looking for sheep seeing he is on an island. lol

[tonynz]

Wayno
The BRM sounds great, and looks great but from what I was told it is very expensive to repair engine parts if something goes wrong.

[grease]

Is it something to do with you "tonynz" if so make sure the roll cage is 42mm not 37mm as it might get done and letting you know international cars will be done thursday.

[AmonFan]

Grease, the BRM has a large wing over the roll cage, so u'll have trouble measuring the cage anyway ;) The driver gets in via a hatch on said wing.....

[grease]

If any of the roll cage is accessable we can do it.

[Buffalo]

If any of the roll cage is accessable we can do it.

... and not let the historic car run because of a minor indiscretion in roll cage diameter :rolleyes: ( which is of course heresay ) ... I know its not your rules Grease but that is pathetic .

This is just what I want to hear. :) Geez I wish we could get some more f1 cars out for this event. Seeing the Tyrrell Cosworth get punted reaaaal hard a few years ago was a tease and I want more, more, more! :D

Im predicting 1m49s if all goes well going by the times he did in NZ ;)

[wayno]

I'm predicting nearly wetting my pants if it sounds as good as I hope it does. :o
Old race cars just sound so much better. :cool:

Kim Jones is entered in his March 80A, awesome stuff... Also noticed Graham Gulson entered in the Alfa regularity... Bowe in a Porsche in NC... Peter Warren in his March 80A which i think i last saw him race in 1984.... Im wrapped now :)

[MOTIV8]

Just got a letter from the VHRR and they state that there is a record of 580+ competitors for this years event....

[smokey_dj]

is des west in that list yet ?

[AmonFan]

is des west in that list yet ?

I don't think Des has'nt raced for a while ;) so its unlikey he is going to be on a race entry list...

[grease]

... and not let the historic car run because of a minor indiscretion in roll cage diameter :rolleyes: ( which is of course heresay ) ... I know its not your rules Grease but that is pathetic .

I am only joking about the roll cage thing as it is a very gray area as one country has one standard and another a different.

I think one standard for all. 42mm but I'm an Aussie not Nz.

[Road Runner 72]

Mmmmm so Saturday will be the day hey? Mmmmmm is red bull good WayNOS ?

[tonynz]

Can someone who is going please either post the F5000 results here or email me results.

[Buffalo]

Tony - the results should be on Natsoft pretty quickly after the races are run - or at least at the end of each day.

Careful of whose offer you take up moxo, RR72 has a habit of inviting people around but forgetting to tell them where he lives:p

[grease]

I think he has got a place.

[wayno]

Nah. He lives in a cave decorated with skulls from his past guests.

He does not have boobs ( I hope ) then he's safe.

He does not have boobs ( I hope ) then he's safe.

Man-boobs count?

Seeing as I'm a self-centred, greedy mongrel, I'll stay wherever is closer.

Y'all can fight over me. I don't drink much (but I like to eat - see man-boobs above) and there tend to be noise that come from me when I sleep.

But happy to give a lift to whoever puts me up. And I have a spare ticket.

So when the bell rings, I wancha ta come out FIGHTING!


BM

[Road Runner 72]

I have a couch or spare room with camp mattress on floor so u can have your own room to make whatever zzZzZzZzZ noise you want lol, about 40 mins away from island.

But take the best offer Bruce as that's the smart choice.

Careful of whose offer you take up moxo, RR72 has a habit of inviting people around but forgetting to tell them where he lives:p

Just so you're aware I suffer terribly when alone in a cold bed. And I'm sure you'd hate to see me suffer. Or hear me pi55ing and moaning at breakfast!

Nah, Mrs Moxo would just know and I'd be dead. And I'm too old for that crap. Sort of.

Anyway, I'm keeping myself for Reece Witherspoon.

So you set for a place to stay, Chris's yeah? If not let me know mate.

[MOTIV8]

If anyone is looking for accomodation the ECO resort still has cabins left as I organised one last night. Cant be bothered driving the 55mins to/from the track each day... :rolleyes:

[VXfan]

So what days are u lot attending? I am going Sunday,should be good apart from the showers forecast.
21 degrees = 10 degrees at the Island..:p
Cheers,
Tony.

[smokey_dj]

from what i can tell tony i think the lot of us are going on saturday

[moxo]

I'm staying with Chris 'cause he got me first. Sister or no sister.

But we should (hopefully) all sit down somewhere on Saturday evening and have a yarn - anyone up for that?

I'll probably be running about like a mad thing once I'm at the track - need to take lots of photos and take notes, talk to people (ew - racing drivers - yuck).

Bringing every stitch of clothing I own - I've been to the last three PI historics and seen about 27 seasons.

Anyhoo, I'm still coming - I hope - there's a small drama at this end to sort out.

Anyway...

It looked pretty tired and in need of love at Eastern Creek last year - there was a lot to do.

Have you seen / heard Peter Landon's RAM March? Whoar!

Right. I'll be the one in the Hyundai Getz - surely the only one there. Driving down in a a renter.

Chris - see you tomorrow night if that's OK.

[grease]

there is something like 540 entries and some sounded and looked good.

We could not do anything with the f5000 at first as we had to wait for customs as they were a bit late getting there.

[grease]

Sorry all, to busy to take any pics as was to busy trying to tell some drivers to get new race suits, helmets stickers (tow point stickers for recovery) and that there cars need full audits, but some dont want to listen.

I would of thought after all these years people would know which way turn 1 goes, or are they worry about some of the more mature drivers circulating this weekend that some could suffering from alzheimer's and become lost :D lmao !!!

[Andrew]

Make sure all your lucky buggers who are attending take lots of pics. I am gutted not to be there again this year and catching up with you lot again.

I believe the #1 Winfield and GIO GT-Rs will be there this year. Brad, Mike - you know what you have to do!!! :D

And plenty of pics of all the tasty cars so that the rest of us can fill our keyboards with drool (yes, drool Mike, you filthy individual).

[ratster70]

[smokey_dj]

Hey Andrew look, like he promissed he removed them stickers from it, sweet!

[Andrew]

Didn't notice that Mike - he did too. Well I would argue that's preferable, although when I dug deeper Gibson did run with tobacco warning at the Sandown round of the ATCC (not Sandown 500 as they didn't compete) as well as the Wanneroo round. However if he wanted it as it ran at Bathurst then removing them was the right thing to do.

I also think he should remove the large Gibson Motorsport logo on the side of the car too as it didn't run like that.

So Mike, you missed today at the Island because of dessert? ;)

I'm hoping David, Laz and Smokey can throw some pics up here tonight.

[Pug205]

I would like the names and flags be taken off the front guards as well. Put them back on the windows.

[malscar]

Andrew, the car does not represent either as it was at Bathurst or the ATCC. If he wants it to be the ATCC car, then remove the names from the front guard and add one to the rear side windows, and take the number and white square off the roof.

[ratster70]

Some things I can live down hey! :P


Sorry mate tis my fault that was brought up again hehehehehee:p

[Road Runner 72]

Lol all good Rat, that's why I share my stupid misfortunes as I can't beleive half the stuff I do myself ;)

Andrew no comment on the dessert part ;)

With the update on the GTR Its good to see, and hope he does the other updates as mentioned.

On Sunday at the meet, myself and smokey_dj ran into Chris (I think it was, no good with names) from Biante and we had a good old chat about all different bits and pieces and he seemed a real nice bloke. He did not try to snob us off at all as the three of us spoke for about 3/4 of an hour or something and only went when his friend called him after he called once and Chris said speak to you in 1/2 hour and hung up. That is putting customers first in a very nice way and not to many companies (the staff) would do that. So to chris if that was your name a big THANK YOU for doing that today it was very nice of you to do that.

[Road Runner 72]

Great photos gents (Leigh I do love the Camaro)....

I drove down Sunday & Caugh up with Brad & we just drove around & veiwed from many different spots.

Could not find Laz & David as was looking forward to bumping into David, next time mate.

Had a heavy head all day, as hangover really hammed me & not much sleep, but so worth the trip.

[David Towe]

Good morning smokeydj and grease, see what time it is again?
It was good to meet you guys and moxo, i hope I didn't seem rude when we spoke and I had to go but in a small team it's all hands to work. I did my fasts lap for the weekend on the last lap of the weekend so I guess I was getting used to the Dunlop tyres in the end although I think my personal best at P I is a 1:48.@@@?
Still haven't looked at the pics yet moxo, as I explained at the track my laptop is so old I think it was originally bought from "Waltons"
good to catch up with you all, see at Muscle Car in Sept?

Hey Brad, good shot was the road car coincidental that it was there or were you trying for the shot? Looks like it is coming out of MG - didnt get to see much of that part of the track at all for the weekend as kept busy around the Siberia area...

[2QUIETLYCOLLECTATWORK]

I caught JB getting punched by the mustang yesterday - hopefully one of the magazines will want it for publishing - it was a brilliant weeknd i thought

[Angel]

Great to meet you all Saturday night- Brad thanks very much for your hospitality.
I have tons of pics- just gotta get around to uploading them- of course mostly datto's but hey..........
The new owner of Seto's skyline was over the moon with their results - they have had a couple of dramas leading up to it. And how was Terry Ashwood's drive in the last race in the Winfield GT-R? Gave it a good run that's for sure.

[GLENN L]

Didn't notice that Mike - he did too. Well I would argue that's preferable, although when I dug deeper Gibson did run with tobacco warning at the Sandown round of the ATCC (not Sandown 500 as they didn't compete) as well as the Wanneroo round. However if he wanted it as it ran at Bathurst then removing them was the right thing to do.

I also think he should remove the large Gibson Motorsport logo on the side of the car too as it didn't run like that.

So Mike, you missed today at the Island because of dessert? ;)

I'm hoping David, Laz and Smokey can throw some pics up here tonight.
we use to paint the winfield honda superbikes back then, and i remember the warning stickers on the bikes and even the race team uniform had warning stickers on them too.

[smokey_dj]

WOW what a full on w.e that was and it started on thurs night!!!!

Bruce turned up at our place about 9 and instantly fitted straight in with the family and we were all sorry to see him go he took me under his wing for this w.e with my entry to the track as his guest and a media pass all w.e which i abused very well :D

on friday heading down after out 7am start i knew really nothing of the historics and by the end of the day my head was spinning and i could start to identify cars and learnt so much new info but it was all fantastic i stuck to bruce like glue on the first day so i could really soak it all in it was great getting to places inside the track such as down siberia in the 2nd flaggies hut and round at the first flaggies hut where i had a strange run in with the #20 roadways torri driver

he came to greif right infront of me pulled the car up driverside facing me standing only the tire barrier away he got out climbed up over the barrier looked at me i looked at him sad "bloody things got no oil pressure" then kept on walking lol then came back and chatted to me while the rest of the session went on br he was recovered.

earlier in the day bruce and i came across NIVOLA (thats who you were thinking of wayne it was Ray not Chris) and then had a bit of a chat about quite alot of things and no he wouldnt give away trade secrets i tried to trip him up but hes a cluey lil bloke :p and that was about it for day 1 (friday)

[smokey_dj]

DAY 2

back up again for a very early start down the to track stuck with bruce again for a lil bit in the mronign till wayno and leigh got down to the track then had a nice brisk walk from the inside of honda to the outside of siberia!!!! and stuck around with them for pretty much the rest of the day learning more and more (when i could understand waynes info through his enthusiastic passion lol) then at one stage i jumped in the car with leigh to go and finally meet david and catch up with laz always good to see you mate and glad to have met you dave then at the end of the day we were spose to org fish n chips in san remo but ended up at brads place instead which was a brilliant night and great to meet angel and motivate and have a really good chat lot of laughs to be had that night (just ask bruce about how far he can shoot a ping pong ball :p)
got home quite late on saturday and both of us really crashed out fast

[smokey_dj]

DAY 3

stuck with bruce for abit again in the morn b4 wondering off to have a good look in my own time at a few things i was interested in but didnt know much about then it didnt take long b4 i got a call from grease to catch up and we hung out together for a few solid hours having a look at what was happening and meeting david towe we shot the breeze for about an hour with david till he had to start getting a few things sorted out pre race and mate in no way did we find you rude or anything thought you were a top bloke tbh and i think you have a new fan :p

after that we crossed paths with Bob Jane which almost ended up in ROUND 2!!!!!! and as ive just remembered i left out a good storry about saturday...

Friday night i ended up at that "protest" about easternats but left with irene shortly after 11 (b4 it got nasty) for those who know me know i have a car that would blend in with that crowd but after seeing all the different nationalities there i thought hell this is going to end like noble park maccas riot a few yrs ago so we left and even irene and i copped some flack from the crowd as we left anyway....

i heard over the p.a that Bob Jane was in pitlane so i thought right im going to go see if i can get the storry about what it got canned from him and explain that the tyre shop was never meant to be the target on fri night

instead the lil (for the sake of the language filter) SO AND SO started arking up and b4 you knew it i was tow to tow with this old coot on pit lane having a shouting match (will go down as a great memory in my life)

now to move on from the bad wayne and i were walking along when we spotted Jimmy Richards so i said im going to not go bag the sprint model but ask if he knew about what was happening with it and if he had an opinion he said he really likes it didnt have 1 himself yet and was suprised to hear about the decal issue with it we didnt dive too deep into it cause i didnt want to upset the apple cart more than it is atm with Chris and also Jim but he was curious to come on here to see whats been said as he asked "where can i find whats being said about the model"

now to move on to the good and how i earnt my new nickname of "woolworths" on saturday night there was dinner with kev bartlett and Sir Jack as special guests and again a special lunch on sunday

after the lunch they had a signed session for Sir Jack and as i went upto where the lunch was being packed up for i said the the security guard they need the Sir Jack sign down to the signing session so he handed it to me i got it signed then dissapeered it rather quickly (it was finishe with for the w.e btw) so that to and shaking the great mans hand will also be a life memory for me

so in summing up all in all a great w.e met quite a few new ppl from the forum and im still yet to meet a bad one :D

in summing up id really like to thank brad for the hospitality on saturday night and bruce for showing me something i had my eyes completly shut to was a pleasure having you stay with us and your welcome anytime

also to david towe appreciate the thumbs up in pit lane as you got out for the race and i watched every lap from the pit walls then as you know came to say hello after the race and scored part of the front spoiler off the HIGHWAY PATROL sponsored vl groupA SS which Adrian happily signed for me :D

and 1 more thing to sean i think wayne and i are bad luck for ya buddy walk down to say hello and suddenly everyone crashes and your put under the pump

David get some sleep one day. You were not rude at all as how many drivers that are racing on a w.e. would drop everything and talk to 2 people they have never met before for around an hour it was unexpected from me as I understand it is so called a small operation and all hands need to be on deck some times.

But Sunday it over heated & burst a hose or the likes as we were getting some grub & it came back into the pits hissing & steaming, but a beast indeed.

Great shots Angel, love the GTR /Dato pc, nice touch.

Might upload some of mine as I have put a bunch on photobucket.

Hey Brad, good shot was the road car coincidental that it was there or were you trying for the shot? Looks like it is coming out of MG - didnt get to see much of that part of the track at all for the weekend as kept busy around the Siberia area...

Would you believe me if I told you I had set it up....hence why it's sooooo far away, I suppose I could crop it...here is another I tried, however the one perfect shot I got, some dam photographer walked thru it

Oh God I'm tired! Just walked in the front door - dog happy to see me, wife picked a fight.

Thanks so much to Chris and your family for putting me up - and putting up with me.

So great to spend time with y'all on Saturday night - if only you knew the pain leaving brought me. Wayno - better not leave me alone with her again - might not end well. Or maybe very well...

I took 3,000 photos. Might just have to cull some of them.

Nothing worse than you probably already do. Hey, why aren't you playing at the Grand Prix with him?

I generally steward or COC several lower level motorsport events, so for many, don't get to see what goes on, whilst Sean can.
For me, there are too many who only do F1's and high exposure days. I am a BIG believer in the theory that grassroots motorsport is where it's appreciated. No club sprints = no drivers then going onto state/national level.
Don't get me wrong, i think it's great the amount of volunteers we have at the big events- and for some that's what they want to do. Me? I like kicking back and enjoying those as a punter and knowing just about every entrant by name and being able to pull up a pew and have a chat.
Besides, i have just given him crapola on his nice orange overalls he has to wear........... ;)

I am blown away by the photos you all got. Just stunning. I am also gutted not to have attended when the #1 Winfield and GIO GT-R were both racing. PLUS, to see Moffat's RX-7 as well nearly brings me to tears that I couldn't make it.

If any of you guys (ie. Mike, Brad, Bortall, Angel, Moxo etc) are willing to send/email copies of your images of the GT-Rs in their original resolution to me for my personal drooling consumption I'd be incredibly grateful and can guarantee they would never be shared or copied.... I can't get enough pics of these vehicles every time they make an appearance.

I really wish I could have met up with guys like Mike, Brad and Wayne again and also caught up with Bruce, David and Smokey as well. And for those that know, the reason I couldn't make the PI Historics still has not arrived itself.... Ahhh, c'est la vie.

Was great to catch up with a few of you on Saturday night as quite a few laughs where had not to mention the human lubricants that were consumed :rolleyes:. Chris, no need to worry about causing me work on the Sunday we were starting to get a bit bored as only towed three in for the day and those two in quick succession got us moving.

Hopefully at another event in the future we can organise something similar in the way of a get together so that names can be put to faces and names....!!!:confused:

They were giving the shpeil on it. it took them a while to start it with all the procedures they go through. It is THE fangio car (I thought from 1951). A team of 20 come with it. It's insured for (i think)a cool 20 million USD. A friend was telling me that the bloke that "oversees" it, was quite ill some time back and if he cannot see it loaded on the plane, the car doesn't go anywhere. So it nearly didn't make it, and allegedy they ferried the fellow by ambulance to the airport so he could see it loaded. since then he has recovered and flew out. Dunno how much of it is true, but sounds good nevertheless.
I knew the driver wouldn't exactly dawdle around but he sure didn't hang around in it !
