Les - it's now around 10pm, and it's still
NOWHERE NEAR as cold as the drive out to Queensland Raceway at 7.30am on Sunday!!!!!!!
Even after leaving at that time, I was still the last Cobra to arrive for the display. Oh, that was until Scott decided to cruise in at what seemed like 10 or 11 o'clock. I suppose he's allowed to sleep in every now and then!
There were over 100 Mustangs on display, including almost one of each Shelby model. Add in a couple of genuine 289 Cobras, about 30 GT Falcons, hot rods, Corvettes and Ferraris, and it was a pretty good rollout. That was just in the pits! 3 Cobras and Chris' GT40 competed, Denis Stone took his Jag SS100 for a blast, and there was one of the best historic open wheeler fields that Queensland has ever seen. Ralt, Chevron, Brabham, Lotus, Kaditcha, Renmax, Elfin -- they were all there
280 cars in all took to the track. Fantastic day all around. The display cars went out on the track for three laps of "cruising". I gave mine a bit of a blip of the throttle, and all the glass and steel packing that Scott had jammed up my exhaust (as a temporary fix for last Sanctuary Cove breakfast), came flying out of the sidepipes in a spectacular chunk that promptly disintegrated against the pit wall
