Full harness, Crash hat, the smell of Avgas and a loud exhaust so I can't hear you scream.

If anyone would like to come along to our family club day I can get you a ride in just about any Historic Tourinf car from a mini through Cortina, an EH Holden to Various model Mustangs to Comaro and maybe even a Ford Falcon Sprint.

One of our life members got to drive Martin Clunes/Doc Martin on a couple of flying laps round Phillip Island last year. Martin had never been in a race car let lone a mini. Ted Brewster is in his early 1980's and is still a very quick capable driver. The funny thing about the film shoot was that the drone the crew were using couldn't keep up with the car, so Ted was asked to slow down a bit.

I located Clay Goodwin on FB and told him about the SHRR and suggested he join here for more information.
He lives in Sydney.

I notice that Clay Goodwin has joined the site and is more than welcome to join our Rocks Run, and we may be seeing
John Pridgeon at City Extra at 0930 on Saturday as well.... I've also now spoken to Greg Whitbread as well... :evil3:

Glad to hear you'll be joining us again, Dave Maxwell :yess:

I'm pleased to add you to the 'Confirmed Attendees' list... :finga:

Regarding your question re: 'The Frisco', I acknowledge Col's recent recce, but in the short term, as the die has

I suggest that anybody planning to attend Friday's Basin Trials, but arriving late, PM me :type:
