No offence intended here but--> anyone writing a book about minis 30 years ago may not have experienced such worn or stuffed-with components as we are finding these days.

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Is anyone representing car 55?
This was the Deluxe entered by Schneider/Wright ( a mates Uncle ) came in 29th... A little bit behind he Cooper S brigade.

29th out of 41 finishers, with a big power deficit is a good effort

Didn't see any minis on the tv. It was all about brocky and the supercars.

There was a green mini on the BROCK movie right at the start on Sunday night. On the racetrack at Hume Weir. It actually passed Brocky's A30 at one stage. I thought the movie was a bit like a soapy. Can't beat the real thing.

I thought it looked like the Fred Sayers Lwt...dressed to look like Don Hollands car (which it was!)

Race # 20...1 GTX number plate

Re Channel 10's crappy coverage, I saw about 4 seconds of the Mokes in the drivers parade. That was it...

Don't have sponsors = don't get air time.
Someone will eventually work out there's money to be made promoting older car racing. There's plenty of programs on late night TV about older cars which attract lots of ads.
