Historic Group Na, b, c & Paul Stubber is hauling the Camaro over from WA, its worth the trip to the Island to see this thing sideways through the Southern Loop.

I've never been to this and am keen to get along this year but I have a feeling I'm booked up next weekend.
It looks like a ripper meet!

There's probably some pics of this meeting in previous years in the motorsport photos thread, if there aren't any dead links. If there isn't, there's a few from other historic meetings.

Brings back memories of Bathurst the year Dick destroyed this thing .... in the pits next to the Bob Morris car when Dicks co driver KB appeared, the Morris car came in, KB jumped in & out he went, Dick appeared, KB gave a thumbs up first time past the pits ... the rest is history, overnight the Morris car became GreensTuf ...

See Paul Stubber is running the HDT A9X #76, fastest Gr C in 1st practice, Sierras galore in Gr A:

It’s just all old campaigners here. I’m in disbelief to even see a middle aged woman.

I never saw the Group A cars live when they were in the ATCC. But I tell you what? They were good viewing approaching t1! You watched these cars on tv, and the camera makes it look almost pedestrian. But watching live, you see that it's not easy to punt these things around PI. And I was watching amateurs.

Investment, toy or a bit of both is the #7 Group C Torana of Andrew Cannon being punted around this weekend:

This championship-winning touring car sold for $740k including buyer premium.

It was the ANDREW HARRIS falcon they turned into Greens-Tuf.
