will have to have a chat with him and see what other bodies he can get in.

Wouldnt it be sweet to have a class "Australia TC" or something similar, same setup as VTA but running body shells from 60's and 70's that had run at Bathurst or something similar.

Could see that at SMA for sure

Not sure if Paul has posted in here, but the race results from last couple weeks and pointscores have been updated and posted to SMA website.

HUGE thanks to Paul who keeps them updated and organised

Very nice mate .. looks like the Brock Drag car that never was.. Should look nice on the track...

Matt there is a guy in Penrith that either makes or has made XD and GTHO bodies.. Colt also make some fords more 90ish.. but to be honest Ive seen bricks that look closer to the actual shape.. The HO comes close...tho.. Other than that there isnt much out there.. Torana from GV looks awesome Im sure the A9x and SLR will do too when they come out but its only Holdens im afraid. Other options for a variant fun class if we wanted to run would be an open GT Class 4wd based on same rules as VTA but you could use any GT body... Something for a Sunday arvo me finks..

I may not be able to go tomorrow still going with stock counts...

Thanks for the racing last night everyone, and thanks for putting up with the couple of glitches, be assured we are working them out. It is good that "us newbies" are getting the chance to learn the "how to stuff".

VTA was great last night - wish i could have raced (blew a spur gear holder bearing and cv pin) - there's always this sunday
