Winton Historics
For those of you who realise that there is more to life than The Black Wiggle, the Winton Historic meeting is coming up soon 29th & 30th May 2004.
Saturday $10 to get in, kids under 14 free, Sunday $20 Race Times Saturday starts 1pm, Practice from 9.30am Sunday racing starts 9.30am Since AVESCO changed their date for Winton, the Historics are on a different weekend than usual. See you there!!!! edited for spelling... Last edited by Average Punter; 19 May 2004 at 01:44. |

Always look foward to this Meeting. My first race meeting at Winton was in 1967.

Went to last year's event.
It rained a little. This made things very entertaining to say the least. The sight of the brave souls on the old upright sidecars sliding through the 2 right-handers at the end of the old start/finish straight was a sight to behold. It appeared as though the riders were using the front wheel as some form of signalling device to wave to family and friends in the crowd at these 2 corners. It certainly didn't appear to have much involvement in the direction control activities. Brilliant stuff. |

Anyone got any news about the days running?
No results, being an untimed friday I presume. |

Also what cars are there this weekend. The website says they will have 2 ERA's (love to see those again after Philip Island) and the Robbins Special, is there anything else particularly noteworthy there?

Sorry no photos but we had a great day even though it was drizzling most of the day and FREEZING COLD!
Some highlights? Jaan Fox from SA chucking his Mini Cooper around like a rally car Jody Mason's sweet sounding RTE49 Charger a '72 De Tomaso Pantera The 1955 Indy pole sitter, a '52 Jim Robbins Special that didn't want to turn right all day Rob Sherrard's Gulf liveried Ford GT40 Paul Zazryn's 1960 Jag Alf Bargwanna's very tidy XU1 David Kent's beautiful pale blue '64 Lotus Elan Best sound of the day? The 5 litre mumbo from the back of Wayne Park's red 1970 Lola that gave the GT40 a run for its money. Even the carpark was worth a look! |

"zed" aka Paul Zazryn did a great job in the Jag, must be all the years in Superkarts coming out
 hehe. Another mate made his debut in the ex Clements HQ, he had fun and got quicker each outing, quite an initiation running in the wet.

Drizzle mainly, made interesting racing for the drivers and viewing for the spectators. Last edited by mickj; 1 Jun 2004 at 03:06. |
