What can we say except "what a great weekend"

Michael Vaughan put in an absolutely faultless drive, winning all 5 races over the weekend, a fine job for his first time visiting Mallala, we couldn't be happier with his result 👏👏👏

Lindsay kept chipping away at the Q&R field, grabbing 6th out right in race 1, 5th in races 2,3 and 4 and 4th in race 5, and finishing 2nd in class in race 1, 3rd in races 2,3 and 4 and 2nd in race 5, securing 2nd place in Group Q Race cars, and setting a new PB lap time in race 4, 1.18.5, 3 seconds better than last year.

A huge thanks has to go to all the organisers, officials, flaggies, fire and medical crews, photographers, canteen staff and anyone else we may have forgotten, and to all the competitors and crews that attend the Mallala Historic Weekend, this event would not happen without the efforts of everyone involved, it's why we keep coming back.

Time to unwind before heading home, thanks for your positive comments over the weekend everyone, we don't always have time to reply to all of them but we appreciate them all.

Stay tuned towards the end of may for our Historic Winton endeavour.

The Elfin 500s and NG's both have milestone anniversary's, the 500's are 60 years old and the NG's turn 50 this year.

We managed to talk the owners of these cars into lining up for a couple of photo's, back on their home turf.

See? We weren't joking about flying the Tassie flag on the big island.

A couple of retirements in the Sports and Racing car field moved the Nimbus up to 6th outright and 3rd in class (Group Q Racing)

Mick had a faultless run in the K,L and Formula Vee field, starting P2 and brought the car home in P1 overall, a win on it's first race back since 2012 is a pretty good result.

More results to follow this evening.

Another street parade under the belt.

The NG was the most basic, cheapest car in the street show but probably had the biggest audience thanks to Mick's PR efforts, almost everyone in Mallala had a sit in the Elfin.

The Nimbus had a bit of interest too, most notably from a feathered fan🦜

The Street parade/show is always a highlight of this weekend, it allows the public to get up close and experience some great machinery.

Let's see what the rest of the weekend brings.

Back in a familiar place.

2023 marked the 50th birthday for the Nimbus, last year we were able to bring it back to Adelaide International Raceway, the site of it's first race meeting.

This year the NG turns 50, but not till about october, her first race meet was also at AIR, and also the first time it has run since 2012.

The run around AIR was beneficial for the NG, only a brake balance issue to sort out but otherwise the old girl is ready to go.

Here's hoping we have a good weekend at both our cars old home ground

After spending last night in Mildura and catching up with our old friend Ray Chamberlain today, who some of our followers know is a wealth of information in our field of racing and who we bought our BeeCee Vee off way back in 2014.

Another easy day on the road for our trusty steed, the customary quarantine stop near the border at the big Dunlop tyre near Yamba, which was erected in 1985 to promote the Adelaide Formula 1 grand prix.

Next stop Adelaide.

Day 1 on the road under our belt, the old van fought through wind and rain today and handled it like a champion, making Horsham on just over half a tank of fuel, we can afford to take it easy this trip to save pushin the old girl too hard.

Time to put the feet up for a spell at a very nice and neat Motel, with tea at the Werrigar Roadhouse, reminiscent of the roadhouses of the 70's and 80's.

Mallala might be the destination but making the journey memorable is just as special.

NG 3 is back in business✊️

After 14 years it runs again thanks to the contributions of 3 people, James Curran David Dowden and Harry Priest have all given some of their time to help us get this car track ready again, and every minute of it is greatly appreciated, and to Mallory Priest for making all our signs.

Last minute checks to both cars will be done then they are ready to go 🏎🏎

Getting dressed up for the event💃

3 weeks to go and signage is going on, the van didn't quiet stand out enough before, we think it might get noticed now.

The Nimbus has some period correct signage or as close as we could find to it, this signage was originally on the old body so some creative adaption has been applied here.

The NG might be going over signless as we don't have any good examples of the various signage it would have carried through it's career, it will get done eventually though.

Mallala is getting closer and we can't wait.

Despite some on again/off again showers there was still a very good turn out today, even had some mainland vehicles make their way down, most notably in the race car display being the Rothmans Matich SR4.

The old cars still draw a lot of interest which is great to see.
