This is two weeks late but I have finally sorted out my photos from the trip to Victoria with Craig and Dave. A big thanks to the club for organising the tour of the Lang Lang proving grounds, to Phil Walmsley for getting us in on it, and Liz Claire, Graham Brown and Brett (?) for the rides in their cars.
The car that was the whole reason for me going on the trip. I have wanted to see it for years. Mick, Anna and Aaron Cameron were amazing with the general public. They always had time to answer questions and were very happy to have punters in their pit bay while they worked on the cars.

The look on Craig's face after going for a hot lap in it says it all. I went for a run as well and after expecting the factory team car to handle like an open wheeler, I was amazed to find that it wasn't much different to the L34 road cars. Everything just happened at a higher speed. The guys who drove these things around Bathurst in the 70's had basketBALLS.
