Has anyone read this little publication? "One man's story building a Torana for historic racing.........." A bit like a build thread in paperback. I picked it up on ebay - arrived this afternoon, so am looking forward to having a read. Seems like some very interesting stuff for anyone interested in building a car for circuit racing.

After this it's " get your wallet out and spend thoes lobsters ( 20 bills) racing tuition "
then " turning a race car back to a street car"

Not a lot of tehnical detail but I enjoyed reading it. Just an ordinary bloke trying to build up an LJ on a small budget and go racing. Certainly enough information to help put together a circuit car. Also a couple of references to old magazine articles that would be worth chasing up.

Col and Steve.
I expect you both at the HSRCA meeting in February for the regularity. If you need accommodation to keep the cost down we have spare beds and blow up mattresses at our house and your both welcome + hangers on.
NOW go by the missus two pairs of new shoes nad get your entry in - HAAAAA !
Make sure you come down for friday practice

Grant, Steve and Col - ordinary blokes going racing before we hit 80. Adventure before dementia - BAHHHAA !
Stil cannot find the book looked today as well again.

Hi Grant, what's the date? do I need to join HSRCA? Or is membership of another club + CAMS L2S sufficient?

Whoops it's wakefield.

no you just need a;
speed S2 license
but you need to be part of a club either a normal club or join the HSRCA but to have a Speed S2 license you needed to nominate a cams club
a new pair of shoes for the missus - kiss and a wave goodbye !
come down for practice friday - sort the car
stay at the ASTOR hotel where by the best friday night in Goulburn is had until 2am - 230 tops for two nights with double bed and a single
racing saturday - back to the astor for a steak and beer and a chat
racing sunday - pack up and home
It's very social and the short track for the torana's is awesome.
PS- for others who want to do regularity it's fine and no one will bingle you torana.
PS - word on the street is 2ELCs is entering the green machine to give everyone a shake up - stay tuned on this
