Bathurst Run

[014 Phil]

Last Saturday would have been Peter Brock's birthday, & on Sunday we had a tribute run to Mt Panorama, Bathurst.

At the meeting point -








I love the big-tank Charger - designed to reduce fuel stops when racing at Bathurst.

There was a round of the NSW Hillclimb Championship running while we were there, giving us some interesting cas & action to watch.










Highlight though, was the drive home on great winding road, with no expectation of them being patrolled.

Great shots Phil would hate to pay too fill the Charger with fuel at moment

Great photos Phil.

Has anyone actually proven these huge aerofoils add any benefit to the driver????

Done properly they do help, even at relatively low speeds - and anything that helps...

The oversize fuel tank in the Charger reminds me of a mate that had an ex-Bathurst car - he was towing a trailer down to the SI and stopped at a service station in Wellington, for directions to the ferry, and when asked if he needed petrol he replied "No thanks, we filled up in Whangarei" - he still had over a 1/4 tank left.
