The main pix start on page 4..
Enjoy.We are having a similar day towards the end of this year further south,about 2 hours from here,so I might be able to attend that one..:D
For all who are interested,there are a few more pics on there,plus a youtube link to Neil Surtees,and his Caddy flathead powered tudor doing a burnout..
Neat stuff, had to be a blast!
Thats the second meeting they have had there,its catching on hard and fast..As you can see,its a wide range of cars on the track,would like to biff the F100 around there.Did ya see the little 29 roadster?ex race car out of the states...Rocket Speed Equipment guys found it and rescued it..Was a pile of parts 6weeks back..Quote:

Off up north in a few days to the Kumeu Festival,the same one I was trying to get Ken Thurm to..
Will have another pile of pix next week..Kiwidreamer might stick some up too..:D [hint hint]
Those pics are great,I can see you could easily get hooked on that type of racing.
Great pics. No trailer queens there.:LOL:
Resto,definitely no trailer queens,but two or three had to leave on trailers..Exhuberant driving, one might say...Word is that some drivers really went all out,were definitely there to have fun,if it breaks,ya fix it...:DQuote:

I did notice the roadster, great looking car! Give a huge atta-boy to the guys who saved it, not many left around!
Will do Dave,that car I believe,is staying as you see it,for our annual nostagia drags..The guys at Rocket Speed Equipment were born in the wrong decade,and it shows.They also built the 29 Chev roadster a few years back.The owner supplied the cowl,and they did the rest..Going north soon,see you guys on Tuesday.Will have a pile of piccies for you,so will Kiwidreamer,wont you Ross...:DQuote:
