[Beer Baron]

lol, it must suck though getting beaten up by poor people in their 32GTST with just semi slicks and a prayer.

awsome.

I was eyeing off a spare 6spd Hollinger with magnesium bell housing off Gibson car. Kept telling myself that it would be right at home behind my little RB20

Does anyone have any idea how the lap times at EC and PI compare to the times the cars did back in 89-90?

[Roy]

The category webiste has a great picture of the Skaife car (not sure if Terry still owned it at the time) going sideways at what looks to be turn 2 at Wakefield. I have it saved on my work PC. Anyone got the pic im thinking of?

Also one from between turn 3 and 4 at EC (up over the hill) where the R31 is splitting flame and being chased by the HRT VL

[T04GTR]

Anybody have any other info on this historics weekend?

It's funny, I've never liked the look of the 31s because of the guys that run em around Newcastle, but after looking at these pics I realise that these boys are just turning a great car into an abomination

31gun should be able to provide us with the info

monkeykplunk, fair call mate

unfortunately plenty of deadshits buy the aussie model r31 sedans

because a) they are cheap and b)they are great value for money

but yeah, guys put shit rims on them, shit paintjobs etc etc

saying that, plenty of nice 31s out there too

even some nice coupes up there in newy

yes, one paricular abomination was painted up panda like with zebra print though-out the interior, dash included

[31GUN]

That Beaurepaires car is actually Rod Marklands car(chassis #1)

That was after GMS sold it to Chris Lamden (sic?).

Then Terry bought it and repainted it in Nissan colours.

Then he bought Richo's 1990 car (chassis #5) and sold chassis #1 to Rod.

As for historic racing, you can get anything and everything at these meetings.

I've seen Ferrari F1 cars (1.5L turbo), Honda F1 cars, Tyrell F1 cars.

Porsche 935's 962's 917's 908's.

Ford F40's (real ones) Lola's open wheel & sports.

Buick straight 8's, Corvette specials, cars with lever arm shocks and giant finned drum brakes.

Cars where the driver sits right next to the fuel tank, where the drive is via twin chains from a rear mounted diff...

I was thinking more about where and what time and price etc when I asked for more info

But that all sounds pretty sweet anyway and has got me excited to see all this.....

Here are a few pics i stole of the the #9 ANZ Rouse/Moffat Sierra from 1987 that is back in NSW. It seems the owner is planning on restoring it

There was also a guy that was floating around on SAU for a week or two looking for information on the Murray Carter NetComm DR30 that he had just purchased. I seem to think he started restoring it around Nov 2005. I wish i had the cash to buy the DR30 that is for sale in Melbourne at the moment. The asking price seems reasonable

[31GUN]

Good find with the Rouse car!

I love old racecars.

The P.J. car in NSW is owned by Bob Tweedie.

Now we've found good tyres for 17" he'll come out and have another go.

So he still hasnt sold it. Its been advertised for years that car. Will be good to see it hit the track again.

How good is the sound of the RB20 over the V8 down the back straight...
