Just over 50 entrants. Heaps of watercooled vws there which was great. The aircoolers have hung a lot of shit on the watercooled guys in the past,
but they turned up in strong numbers and performed really well.

Hi
One of the cars that Guy Harding was involved with broke a lower control arm and munched the wheel and other bits up.

Hi Wayne
Great videos, I'm new to GoPro cameras but I bought mine from a friend who runs Targa events at The Bike Shed Mortdale.
He gave me a tip, you need set the spot meter settings to "on" otherwise you get great detail inside but the outside appears over bright like in
Deans video.
Steve
PS Where is everyone else's footage

I'm with Birchall K&L for the win 
I like to think Porsche stuck with K&L on the 356 because it was better; not because the 911 was coming...
Great video though; Lee Harris certainly flew down the straight!
