I can't add any images of the quality already posted, but I have a few of John McKechnie hustling the Falcon along nicely - incredible that this car was a rusty hulk not so long ago (hope my description doesn't offend you John, you could obviously see beauty hiding in there!).
Shano- mate, these are the most beautiful pix I could have ever asked to see.
Please come and introduce yourself at the next-March-meeting.I am certainly not offended-it was after all the $375 rolling bare rusty body trade me special- at the description of its condition when I first started as it was what it was..Steve and Dale have asked me to do a series on it., but I wanted to focus on finishing it for this meeting first.Its absolute neglected state made it a prime candidate for this role in its life.Aussie cars are not easy to restore, but have such lovely lines. Mustang and Camaro parts are cheap and easy to source, but no one makes new rear quarters for these Coupes. The colour was an easy one, my wife and I had decided it quite early in the piece.My goal was to have fun, complete every race, go faster and stay out of trouble.-all boxes ticked.
I will treasure these 3 pics.
The cars are definitely the stars

Ok boys and girls, Nigel Watts and Robin Johansen each get one of my team shirts and hats for some excellent photos of my Camaro from the two weekends. Speaking of photos, have a look at: www.clmintiepix.photoshelter.com for plenty more excellent photos of all of us from Phil Smith. He can `age' the photos for a more retro look if that`s what spins your wheels. As most of the HMC guys now know from the public response we got over the two meetings, people really like these cars and all I`m saying is that as a group we should support all the photographers that make the effort to support us.

Wow, this thread has now had over 50,000 page views! Thanks to all you guys who have posted up photos from the two weekends of racing at the Gulf Denny Hulme event. Its really exciting to see photos appearing so soon after the races, the internet is a wonderful thing.
Wow! Great work Murray. This is the first time I've been able to view the full vid, having had limited online access through staying at various motels the last couple of weeks. Beautiful work and a credit to you. And imagine if you'd have been able to attend the race days!Originally Posted by Murray Maunder
Hope you don't mind, I've embedded it here for people to view:
I have a pile of pics from the meeting (over 1,000) but I am not sure that adding many of them to this thread is of any great value as most cars are covered anyway, however, there are one or two that I'll post, though shrinking them to suit this website seems to be more difficult than from scans and the small camera. I'll certainly add one for John's collection.
Congratulation to all competitors for making the effort to attend, as the colour and variety plus some energetic driving, knocks tier 1 meetings into a cocked hat. Car presentation was also a credit to all concerned. Good to catch up with Steve at long last too. So much knowledge in one so young... It augurs well for the overall future of classic racing that we are now at a stage when some of the keenest supporters are younger than the cars they support.
Next year, the festival celebrates Ferrari, but no doubt the HMC group will be in the programme again, as they are definitely a crowd pleaser.

There was plenty of action for the punters
Paul- you could have toasted some marshmallows on that flame. Great sight from a V8, definitely not an ethanaol blend.
A small selection from Sunday's races.........

ERC-Ray , and PhotoSmith- Great positioning and excellent timing.
Yes some great photos from different positions around the track
After a fantastic fortnight at HD both watching and the wonderful pics people have posted here, I wonder what's next for HMC. Would love to hear what other projects may be underway to make this class even bigger
