Big Bangers are back!
Once again, another thread that is duplicated elsewhere, but you folks will probably be interested in it...
From the PR for the upcoming QR Historics Meeting: For the first time in 17 years, the Group C ‘big banger’ touring cars will be back on a Queensland racetrack. Leading the charge will be the 1965 Armstrong 500 winner Barry Seton, who will bring his immaculate Ford Capri back out onto the track. Seton has a total of 22 Bathurst starts to his credit, with his second last start (1983) being made in the very car he will be competing in, which he coincidently shared with his son Glenn Seton, at his first ever start at Mount Panorama. Joining Seton on the grid in another Capri will be current V8 Supercar driver Craig Harris, who has four Bathurst starts under his belt. In total there will be over 50 years of Bathurst 1000/500 experience on the circuit over the weekend. Also from the Harris Racing stable will be Lloyd Bax (Ford Falcon XC Hardtop), and Vic Cameron (Ford Falcon XE). Other cars expected on the grid include Escorts, Toranas and a Gemini. All told, there are about 80 cars in the country in various states of readiness, and also, from people who I've talked to, a lot of people want to go to the Historics simply for the big bangers. What do you guys think? Is it about time they came back? Would you like to watch them?? |

We have the Winton Historic racing festival coming up in October and a Group C race is scheduled for that.
Hopefully they run a group C/A race for them at Sandown Historics as well..... |

It's a shame that the Oran Park Grp N meeting is on the same day as the QLD Historics- it's cost us at least one Grp C Competitor- Kevin Heffernan who has his Commodore ready to roll...

Hopefully the class will be able to attract high grid numbers, the variety will be awesome.
At the Oran Park Konica round the other week, on my way in i got passed by a car towing Bo Seton's yellow Capri onthe way into the track, yet i didn't see it all day, anyone know why it was there. |
