Pete, I always thought your car had a log book. Thats good you are able to run. I loved watching you car smoke the tyres all the way up the hill last
year... do want to swap cars???
Flange. .. What car / engine combo do you have? I havent seen any new vw race cars on the track l8tly.
It should be a good event with about 60 cars entered. Theres 6 VW beetles, a few FVee's, VW open wheelers and Pistol Petes rocket ship doing the
event.
Ill see you all there. Any else thinking of coming up for a look.

Craig Torrens
Thats actually 4 cars as me & John as well as Heath & Cristine are doubled entered. I can also think of a few more off the top of my head like Ward &
Durie, who are unfortunately not running in this event. That makes 6.

unwin and smithy, ruth pobjoy, greg ward, spinks bros, cook + durie. Hmmm that still isnt many. Am I missing a few or was I just more excitable back
then. Not sure if Craig was running back then.

Pete, tell me the content of your email re log book. Maybe this is why I have been asked the question. Maybe I need to find a stronger response to
make it look like I know what I am doing.

Yep, the good old days.. Torries and dakkers everywhere!
The Spinks - and the black car - were father and son. Craig began in 1993 (I think) with an ex-'B to B' bash car with a 1916 in it... ahh, the good
old days

Yeah Bat 69, in response to your last...its nothing special just VW, silver with set of nice wheels.
Not sure how I will run at Bulahdelah, you might still get me on the corners.

The spinks destroyed the black car down here at Huntley, after that they built a mid mounted jobbie. There was also a blue buggy doing the rounds back
then.
Outsude of the championship Becker was a pretty regular runner at Huntley in the '57. Mr Penrose had the suicide rotary bug. Russel Brown used to run
a late notch.
VW racecars were everywhere.

Was a great event. Craig set a new track record and got 1st in class. I went faster then llast years time and got 3rd in class. I just got beaten by
a turbo datsun on my last run. the old man finished really well with 4th, knocking about 2 seconds off his time from last year. All beetles cracked
over 140klm over the finish line, which isnt too bad when you consider its a 40klm sign posted corner.
The next event is te Tooheys 1000 oh hillclimbs. King Edward Park on the Oct long week end. State championship on sun 1 Oct and tri club challenge on
the mon 2nd oct.
