When i look at these pictures it makes me think im living in the wrong country!! but im not!! nevertheless what a fantastic historic line up and how do we go about replicating an event like this in NZ, the Festival of Motor Racing is as close as we can get, i guess, and well worth the support, certainly gets me motivated :)

:) Nice to see my "Pit Crew" in black uniforms :)

I am very pleased to say that I will be there again this year with Jay Esterer and his Chinook. I will try to take some 'happy snaps'.

Wal, that'll be great! Hope you have a fantastic weekend, I'm sure you will!

I take it Karen wasn't on the select committee when hand-picking your pit crew Dale?

Wow! taxying the Spitfire along the pit straight would have been an interesting exercise as forward visibility is so limited for the pilot by the monster engine....would have been a unique sight.

Maybe its the 'black uniform' that we need at HD to get the crowds in. A few WW II aircraft certainly wouldn't go amiss either.

Dale, also noticed the Porsche, did not realise they had such long legs either. Bring your crew along and give me a yell if you need a manager to keep a eye on things.

Thanks Rhys, yep, thats pretty amazing! Just been following Dan Bowdens updates on Facebook. The Bowdens took the Ron Thorpe Cobra across to compete in the Cobra events. The Daytona coupe was winning until it had engine problems.
