Macclesfield stage

It was a very busy day for club members as we successfully went about the business of running our part of the Classic Adelaide yesterday. Peter and Sari put on quite a show for us with their smoky and noisy launch in the CV8. Gee that Jensen must have some power! Tony Opie showed no bias when he didn't allow BCCA-SA member, Bernie Wilson, to start in the middle of the road in his Capri Perana. It wouldn't have mattered as we found the car expired afterwards about a Km. up the road. It looks like he was able to start again today. The other Perana (the SA one) was doing very well up near the front of the field. I must say I was pleased to see Tim Possingham up there with the big boys and girls running in 4th place in the Silvia. Local MSCA runners Andre Lukasz and Chris Ferguson were also doing very nicely in the 240Z. Here's Tony holding back the Calinan Pantera which is dieing to scramble over the Falcon GT.

....and here's the Pantera about to launch into rubber burning notoriety as it disappears from view, enough to even turn Jane's head. She had only had eyes for the many Z-cars and I happened to hear Colin Lucas calling out "there's no substitute for cubic inches!" I'm watching the results today as they come to hand and the big black car is working its way to the front - 6th last time I looked.

There were quite a number of those noisy rotaries and most of them were from Canberra which tells me that Reliance Rotary, who I used to know in the distant past, are still alive and well over there.

Here's the other Pantera, crewed by DeTomaso and DeTomaso.

Beven took this shot of the SA Eureka, going strong.
