An excellent weekends racing at Qld Raceway & very well run with blue skys & low 20`s temperatures. Great driving & car preparation by the Trans-Am boys though the crowd was smaller than I expected. Looking forward to Lakeside.

Had an absolute blast on the weekend racing with our Aussie friends in Australian Trans Am. They had the addition of several new cars plus our 4 HMC cars to make up a great field. The racing was very competitive and good fun but also just as much fun off the track as in these pictures. Got to make new friends, meet new people and catch up with old mates and talk about perfect weather WOW, it just doesn't get any better than this. The highlight was the out of the box performance of Glenn Allinghams new HMC 70 Camaro, never turned a wheel and he was on the pace, a broken rocker dropped him out of 2 races but they soon repaired that, the Aussies thought his car was very cool.

Green with envy Dale, Looks like you guys are having a great time of it. Great to see the NZ / Aus comradery. Certainly a lot more Aussie TA cars since the last time you were there. Dont have too many King Prawns and Bundaberg rums, well not before a race anyway. George.

Went out to Lakeside Park on Sunday for some excellent racing entertainment in perfect 25 degree weather. The Kiwi boys drove very well & the yellow Z28 Camaro was able to repair a power steering pump between races.
