Thats the second meeting they have had there,its catching on hard and fast..As you can see,its a wide range of cars on the track,would like to biff the F100 around there.Did ya see the little 29 roadster?ex race car out of the states...Rocket Speed Equipment guys found it and rescued it..Was a pile of parts 6weeks back..
I think there is another link on there now to some more photos..
Off up north in a few days to the Kumeu Festival,the same one I was trying to get Ken Thurm to..
Will have another pile of pix next week..Kiwidreamer might stick some up too.. [hint hint]

Those pics are great,I can see you could easily get hooked on that type of racing.

Great pics. No trailer queens there.

Resto,definitely no trailer queens,but two or three had to leave on trailers..Exhuberant driving, one might say...Word is that some drivers really went all out,were definitely there to have fun,if it breaks,ya fix it...
Track was a little rough as well,was talking to a friend who drove up in his 59 Skyliner,[white one,B FIELD plates].He went for a cruise on the track before he left,rattled his teeth a bit..

I did notice the roadster, great looking car! Give a huge atta-boy to the guys who saved it, not many left around!

Will do Dave,that car I believe,is staying as you see it,for our annual nostagia drags..The guys at Rocket Speed Equipment were born in the wrong decade,and it shows.They also built the 29 Chev roadster a few years back.The owner supplied the cowl,and they did the rest..Going north soon,see you guys on Tuesday.Will have a pile of piccies for you,so will Kiwidreamer,wont you Ross...

Have a great time!

Thank you,we did,even if we were stuck to our trade site most of the weekend.Managed to escape now and then with the camera,snapped a few,then caught a few more after 5.30pm Saturday.Sunday was a lot slower,thankfully,after full on question/answer routine from about 7.30AM till 5pm.selling a few bits and pieces,and getting a few more contacts and jobs..
I will post some photos probably tomorrow,but for now,here is a link to another bunch of pix taken over the weekend..

Please enjoy,and I will endeavor to answer all questions...
Rats..I was going to start a new thread on this..Will do it tomorrow..a little sleep deprived at the moment..

Another bunch of pics has just been put on the other site we frequent..If ya look hard,you will see Redneck,wearing his orange brain bucket,driving the upside down r/p,with the BBC,hmmm,concentration..

There is a bit[quite a bit]of double up on some of them,plenty of shots of Peanut Martin in her 32 roadster,and a bit of tortured suspension...
