Re: Retro Muscle Car Masters

Thanks Rob, appreciate the comments from all and the interest/debate it's created. I visited Tom Thumb but never raced on it. Has anyone come across 60's Mussies and Camaro's, or Richo's new Javelin or the Falcon Sprint that are more to scale. I'd like to build one just for the pleasure (or pain) al...

Re: 2012 Geoghegan Trophy

A couple of thoughts on the event : 1. With the Touring Car Masters gathering str...

Re: R4/5 Retro racing Webcast at Tom Thumb Hobbies 11/3/12

Just had a thought, which probably developed around tracks/centre gone by and the huge entry list at Tom Thumb. Just Imagine retro racing on the old original G&D layout, yep you got it before the dog leg was cut out. Thats going back in time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WB you'd remember it and Stu and Fox...

Re: Upcoming Retro Races At HSC.

James, I called you prior to the NSW State titles and you advised me that there would be no points awarded for this race to count towards the club rounds. On your advice I entered into another commitment on the evening of the race instead of racing in the NSW titles. I'm a little perplexed that a de...

Great work in replicating these results in the "Johnson" type format.

This certainly adds a lot of interest to wing car racing.

Looking forward to the Brock! :D

The software at KW and Rocky may not have had the same feature. From memory there were different versions and even some were pirated. Furthermore some systems...
