Is Dr John's Torana the same car as he raced previously, the orange one, or is this a different car?
Going by Levels results on MyLaps there seems to be a lot of 'non-starters', any reason for this- attrition from Skope, incidents, COD compliance, whatever?
Belongs to Bruce Kett outta Auckland David, built to the Central rules and a cool looking car, I luv it that he hasn't put all those big spoilers and scoops on it!! Dale MQuote:

And it must be better having TRS cars racing for the NZGP trophy than Formula Fords, no disrespect to that class either. As far as spectating goes, I'm on your side Custaxie50, I attend historic racing in North America regularly, occasionally an Indy race just because Scott Dixon is there and I can wave the Kiwi flag (with the silver fern, another topic for discussion...).Quote:

(Apologies for hijacking the SKOPE thread with pics from the public spectator area at the Pukekohe V8s)
Nice photos 4cam! Solid pans too!
Were you the gentleman out shooting at the same time as myself and Euan on the Saturday afternoon?
Cheers, Rich
This car I think is such a fantastic looking thing... yes I realise it's a replica/tribute or whatever but golly I like the look of it.

Snoozin, thanks for the pic as that's a great looking Mustang, just looking at this picture i can see great attention to detail, hopefully its not too modernized underneath? but a replica or whatever will just do as we all know the real one can never be owned, good on them for building it. Were is it based? Dale M

Dave, its a cool car, and looks great in those colours, but I don't think I'd even call it a replica. I was involved with CMC when Bruce was in the early stages of building this car. We'd just been to Aus for the first time when CMC raced at the Muscle Car Masters in 2007. Several of the Kiwi CMC cars featured replica paint schemes of famous cars from the past, and the Aussie punters really took to this, and Bruce saw this and really wanted to have the Camaro painted in a tribute paint scheme.Quote:

Hence he went in that direction.
Bruce's Camaro is a '68, whereas the Coppins car was a '67. Bruce runs 17" wheels, big hood scoop etc, so its not really a replica, as other than the paint scheme it doesn't really bare any similarities to the original car. But it does look fantastic, and goes like a rocket.
Cheers Steve, the sentiment is much appreciated and I'll continue to post as long as I can get to historic motorsport!
The Alfa is Lindsay O'Donnell's according to the programme, I used to pine over this car when I was a young Alfisti!
You have to give it to America ,they know how to do motorsport and do it well.Quote:

Went looking for you Crunch, they told me you were being treated to some southern comfort at the top story of the control tower, last time I climbed that many flights of stairs I needed oxygen so had to give it a miss!:)
Took nearly 1000 photos over the weekend, was luckily enough to be able to go up on the flag marshall point with the photographer for the photoshoot of the Minis
