Taupo racing December 2007

Hi all,

What a fantastic weekend we had with great warm sunny weather. Just what we had hoped for, and a good turn out of our group.

We had 11 of us sharing grid starting positions at random and enjoying good, very close racing. There was no lap timing taken, which I feel always adds to the friendly atmosphere of this annual event.

We had some hard luck dished out to a few, and it was very sad to see Michael Clark have an excursion in his first ever event, especially when he had the correct mindset. With the expert help from his minder ( Graham McRae ) he will certainly bounce back.

Once again Stan Benbrook was dealt a mechanical woe. That the third time at that event, all over now we hope.

I arrived home Sunday evening tired and elated. What a fantastic group of friends ( until the helmet goes on ) we have to race with.

For those of you that couldn’t make the event, lets all hope you can next year join in the fun offered by the only circuit racing meeting offered by HRSCC.

We have a summer of events coming up so lets hope for even larger fields of our gorgeous race cars.

We wish you all the best for the festive season and look forward to catching up in the new year.

Bruce and Jill McCoy
