Awesome idea Jake. It will be fantastic to see so many true legends of the sport back racing in some of the country's best and fastest cars. Any hints yet as to who's driving what?

Would be a nice idea to have a minute silence or minute of noise to remember the legends that are no longer with us to attend this meeting.

Another couple would be Graeme Gaskin and Darren Gray also. Yes unfortunately both Darren and Graeme were unavailable, likewise Eddie Hawkins, Neville Stanaway, Stan Hickey and Craig Pierce. They have all indicated that they would be very keen to line up next year however. I can confirm this evening that former team green hard man Chris Allan has confirmed, likewise Jack Jack Easton. Shane Penn has also been confirmed to present trophies and sashes for place getters. |

Tony Mac can drive Clive Elliots car. I think Clive Elliot should drive the Clive Elliot car, he belongs in the legend line up, as well as TMac of course, not in the same car though, that would be wrong. There are e few names missing as someone has pointed out, I will mention Brian Anderson for starters, but where do you start & finish. Hat goes off to Jake for doing the donkey work on this and making it happen. BL |

Unfortunately we can't have everyone and hopefully those that have missed out this year are available next year if we are able to pull the resources to run this race again. My list had 73 names on it. Sorry we are trying our best. Thanks... .Jake |

Maybe for the following year, you could have a complete new list of drivers and include say the top 3 from this years race.
