#1303- John Samios sitting in his blue 1969 Mustang number 10. We raced, we talked Avacardos , Cheese from Eltham and radial Pratt and Whitney WW2 engines... memorable.
John English-14, damaged his sump, showed me some neat overtaking moves
Anthony Tenkate- green Mustang- had a mighty loop all by himself-in the last race sideways on the ripple strip off turn 1, no serious damage, and rejoined. Woody took excellent evasive action .My crew caught it on video and made their day looking at it at prizegiving.
Alwyn Bishop-68- well deserved "best all rounder award" for the class.He absolutely couldnt believe it when it was announced and told he could keep the trophy.
Anthony and Alwyn showing me a new use of the zip on racing overalls- cunning Dewi got it on video.
Pete Stevenson very sympathetic on my health-" If God wanted you to touch your toes, he'd have put them on your knees"
Great bunch of guys, really had a ball running with Shane Cowham, Shane Wilson , John Samios and Alwyn, though in one race Alwyn gave his car to John English, I wondered how the old fella suddenly had picked up the pace.
Twas a shame Mike Kings Mustang didnt last the distance. while Shane Wilsons Mustang lasted the distance this time.
Got in car videos and am sending them on for their memory.

Sunday morning, I started toward the back.
Steve Elliott was on pole and with his magic starts he was odds on to take it,
Unfortunately ,as you can see, his car stranded between turn 3 and 4 the man upstairs said - another day Steve,its tough. Anthony Tenkate had his turn at winning this one.
I am running with Shane Wilson- ex kiwi from Wellington, after that its John English in Alwyn Bishops car

I would like to say a huge thanks to all the Historic Muscle Cars and Australian Trans-Am racers who wore our Muscle Car Digital Magazine stickers on their cars at the 2015 NZFMR. We really appreciate the gesture.

I'd also like to say a huge thanks to Steve Elliott for printing the stickers up and handing them out to the HMC/ATA guys. You're awesome Steve, and a true friend.

Thanks to everyone involved with HMC for making us Aussies feel so welcome at the Festival over both weekends. I was flat out getting everything ready to leave Sunday afternoon that I didn't have much of a chance to go around to many of you. If you have any footage from Races 8 or 9 (Sunday, Weekend 2) and would like to be seen n the TV3 highlights show, could you please email me at dj0110@live.com.au to discuss further.
I will post some photos/wrap-up etc soon but I still have plenty of work to do in the meantime.
Cheers
Dewi Jones
Australian Trans-Am

Cheers
Tony
