I think it may be just mainly road cars out on the track for the charity lunch run tomorrow. Ron has crunched his car after a week of despair and a smiling face yesterday - he is not a happy chappy now! And we just heard that Lyndsay has suffered the same fate. JP's car got trailered once they hit Wellington last night and Ihaven't heard anything more since.
We have checked that the next destination of the tour is still there - so yes it's ok to head to Napier on monday! Well ok we were picking up The Gnome's racecar but just for the lunch time runs.
We've all been out to have a look at Peter Willoughby's collection - some wonderful stuff there - thank you Peter for letting us have a peek.
More later - I'm not always getting a good mobile connection and haven't had a chance to upload more photos but yes we are still taking lots - just make sure you get either myself, Lyndsay or David Scadden to snap a picture of you standing by the drivers side of your car - we need name, car reg and area that you usually live in or joined the tour at.
As promised - more:

It’s a good thing that Russell let Cameron bring his lovely race car down, it means that Ron & Lyndsay can go as dual drivers and complete their racing for the weekend!
Ron’s car although sporting a little bit of damage (ok it was the whole passenger side) was still driveable but alas it now looks like he has engine problems as it will not start! And no Ron you cannot use my passenger door as a replacement.
Actually the brilliant network that we have in the club has come to the aid of all those who have needed it – Jason has organised for his brother Brendon & father Max to bring down a GXL back end for Lyndsay and will try some of his own engine parts on Ron’s to see where the problem lies. Colin Bary is lending Darryl some wheels and wheelnuts so that he can run his racecar during the lunchtime runs tomorrow and Bruce Pacey found a steering arm part for Ron – sorry if I’ve missed other kind and efficient assistance – let me know who has helped who and I will mention it.
It was great to also catch up with the Wright family at Peter Willoughby’s garage, it’s amazing that one has to travel so far in order to catch up with others that live within 5 minutes of home!
What a line-up of cars in the Palmerston North centre tonight – really awesome – there was about 28 cars and not everyone decided to take their cars in, so can’t wait for tomorrow.Dinner was an event in itself – I think there was about 84 people who came from Auckland all the way through to Invercargill – although some of the meals had to be waited for it was worthwhile in the end. There were some very late partiers and pool players, we met loads of new people and I congratulate anyone who can remember everyone’s names.
