Some of the pics are grainy..not sure why, but if you squint, they become a lot clearer!

As many of you know I’m restoring a bugeye and at the last meeting I reported on the fact that I’d broken the heads of the rear spring bolts – however thanks to a tenacious cornishman (AKA John Whitburn) they have been successfully removed and the bugeye is now happly at minus paints!

All the events for 2012 have now been published for 2012. Please take a good look as this the Club’s 40th. year. Take special note of the 5 ferries run in September.

Apariently some members have paid their subs, but not filled in a membership form. So could they please download a form from the website and return it to the treasurer.
Members still to pay your subs, please make sure you fill in your membership form when paying your subs.

Gordon Boyce will be at the meeting from 7:00pm, so members wishing to have their cars inspected for Historic Rego, can do so prior to the meeting.

Road Trip!….not as bracing perhaps as the Clubman fraternity like to have it, but nonetheless a pleasant trip over with a few of the boys over to Phillip Island to look at old things going very bloody fast.

Including three dozen of these nasty fellas – best place to see them?  Main straight plunging into Turn One…you can spot who has left the brains in the toolbox from that vantage point.

OK – Slightly less insane perhaps, but all of our BMC brotherhood represented themselves quite well that weekend, including one absolute ball tearer run from behind from Troy Ryan [NOT illustrated above], after an off track excursion early in the race.  I think he may have been a little pleased with himself after that little effort.

And then there was the exotica - the Wheatcrofts brought over Ascari’s season dominating Ferrari Tipo 500 over for a blast – and blast it did, mercifully some people have retained the good sense to exercise priceless machinery for the broader enjoyment of others.  Although pretty to look at, they look much better at full song, and driven with some intent.

For more of the same, click the link and have a look at some of the other pics I took that weekend.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/62sprite [just click on the right gallery on the right of screen - looking past the drag racing]

The run was conducted yesterday March 18th in superb weather for Sprites. Everything ran smoothly, even the cars.
So I would like to thank these people for turning up and making the day enjoyable for all.
