Looks like a hell of a good time Greg.

This is the 2nd year that this event has been run and it just gets better - cool cars, neat people and Noddy and his team go the extra mile to ensure that the event is safe and enjoyable.

Thanks to everyone that came along. A shame about the carnage - but that is racing.

Fantastic weather, stunning race track location, great spirit a****st the racers and public, the bands & burlesque dancing was the icing on the cake at the Pub each night.

Found some footage on Youtube! At the end of the racing we allowed the cars to do some laps with p***engers - in groups of 18 cars - just for photos and fun.

YEEHAA!

Noddy

 

Thanks to Noddy and the crew for a great event.

Sad to have suffered problems that saw our car not performing well. We spent most of the day trying to find the problem. The ignition is the only 'modern' part on the engine and that is what let us down.

We will be back.

 

you guys got it RIGHT

 

Some more STUNNING photos here.... Check these out!

Here are some more photos that Firefly took ...

One of the best things about the Waihi track is the stunning location looking out over the beach and down the coast.





The line up before racing started ...








Some of the track action ...




















Once the racing was finished, there were some parade laps ...
















And of course, some of us were tempted by the hard-baked clay surface







Thanks Noddy, it was a blast !
