Saturday morning I headed down to Myrtleford speedway to help out and push off some fantastic vintage Speedcars. What started out a gloomy winters day ended up being an absolute cracker with warm sunshine, a Mint little track and good people I was given the opportunity to wheel a couple different cars.
First thanks to Andy Pearce and Bob Haselgrove for the trust and opportunity to drive Bobs car, Having never driven a cageless Midget I jumped at the offer to drive the Hazlegrove owned ex Des Nash/Hearns Hobbies Holden #55, absolutely loved it, amazing what those legends did in them back in the day. Thank u boys 🙏
Next was also offered a drive in something a bit more modern, David Watts owned and driven vintage compact speedcar, that was a bit more familiar and was quite a bit quicker than I expected, great fun!
Finally had a skid in the Mark Jordan ex Stan Fox / Stanton Autocraft #3, had an ablsolute blast, wow what a fantastic piece of history all of them and I’m quite humble for people to trust me with they’re babies!
Thanks again to the Myrtleford speedway club for putting it on, the Pearce crew, Bob Haselgrove, David Watts, Troy and Mark Jordan and everyone else who supported and worked to run a great fun event!
