I have just bought a copy of the 2002 Bathurst Book.

A wealth of info.

Does anyone have other Bathurst Year Books?

Looking for years around 96 and 98 if so, I would be keen to ask some questions.

Cracker: ask away

kmchow · 19 Apr 2004, 05:38 (Ref:943785)

It's too bad there's no national or FIA registry of touring cars! That would be so cool. So is this registry you're doing semi-official if I recall correctly?

Which year do you have?

Would you be able to copy the Holden history for me?

Cheers

Copy the Holden history? Ummmm you'll need to be more specific than that. I'm not sure what you are asking for. Photocopying an entire book is of course illegal under copyright law.

Does the book have the car history at the back?

Falcadore · 19 Apr 2004, 09:25 (Ref:943891)

Which book?

I am looking for copy's of the Great Race Book!!!

Years 1998 and 1996

Is that the book you have???!!!

Falcadore · 19 Apr 2004, 09:30 (Ref:943895)

I have a lot of books

Do you mean the Holden official racing history book, or Bathurst 96 & 98?

If so, yes I have them, but the answer is no in all three cases as Noonz only started doing the chassis histories for Chevron in 2001.

kb5832 · 19 Apr 2004, 09:36 (Ref:943898)

Oh Ok.

Thanks that answers my question. Do you have that 2001 book?

rdmdog · 19 Apr 2004, 10:21 (Ref:943929)

Hey Cracker, do you have a specific question about either of these years? That might be a better way to go about it. Im sure you will get a LOT of info from these pages.

I picked up the 2003 book from Chevron last week, and added it to my otherwise complete collection, I do also have some extras, so if anyone is interested, offers can be sent to rdmdog@hotmail.com. I would like to complete my AMRY collection, anyone anyone??

Sorry OT

**GTRMagic** · 21 Apr 2004, 21:48 (Ref:947161)

I wonder if Noonz is keeping track of all the AU's that seem to have sprung from nowhere...

... noise around suggests Mr B.Forbes is still trying to unload the Green Eyed Monster, and the original ex-SBR car...

... wonder what the value of these cars might be when the BA storms into the category next season and renders them virtually obsolete?

rdmdog · 22 Apr 2004, 08:41 (Ref:947604)

A bloke that I work with is from Tassie, and when I mentioned that Ray Hislop was at Winton on the weekend, he told me of an Ex GSR Falcon that was sold to someone in TAssie, we are assuming it wasnt Ray, and was converted to a registered road car

I would think this would be a little unlikely, but wouldnt it be great to pull up at the lights next to

**GTRMagic** · 22 Apr 2004, 09:56 (Ref:947665)

Ray Hislop had his ex-Seton EF and the Falcon GT club car... they are often referred to interchangeably but are not the same car....

Interesting to hear recently that Glenn Seton's Silver Streak AU has ended up in Lithgow with Brian Walden....

Falcadore · 22 Apr 2004, 12:27 (Ref:947798)

That old nail ex-Finnigan VN/VP can't have been doing him much good.

rdmdog · 22 Apr 2004, 12:33 (Ref:947806)

Yes, but who can forget the footage of Terry keeping Larry (?) behind at the Creek in the dark.

The car that J Richards is driving now is last year's LRT spare.

GTR,

Any idea on which Seton AU Brian Walden has? I think at the time of the sale to FPR, Seton still had 3 AUs in the stable the original 99 car as well as the 00 and 01 built cars raced by Besnard & Seton in 03.

Group'C' · 22 Apr 2004, 14:29 (Ref:947933)

The Ray Hislop Falcon story does get confusing rdmdog and GTR

Ray built the EB GT for 3J Club cars and ran it for a couple of years. He then sold it to Brendon Diprose who ran it for about a year until he then sold it to Greg Garwood who got some rego from an old Taxi and put on the car(the car still being the same seton blue as the EF its easy to see how people can get confused)
Greg fell fowl of the rules and wasn't allowed to run the car with the EB GT rear wing( as the car was registered as an EF) and in the end sold the car back to Ray -

Ray will be running at PI for the Club car nationals

My understanding is that FPR have no more AU's in their workshop, that all the equipment was sold off... or so they are saying.. as one of the reasons the team is unable to source any more of the old H6S Holinger gearboxes....

I think the Walden car is "Silver Streak" and it was entered for Winton but didnt show... if you take a peek at the ads in AA this week, the AU Falcon looking for a driver for the balance of the season is this team....

Group'C' · 22 Apr 2004, 23:34 (Ref:948437)

Has the Walden Family purchased the Seton car or was Brian just having a drive for some one else?
Brian was working for a team that run in the 2LT Tourers for a while and he did have a drive of a VS Sports Sedan for a while but seamed to disapear last year

**GTRMagic** · 23 Apr 2004, 10:14 (Ref:948764)

Its an outright purchase apparently

Thanks for helping to clear it up a little.

But its not Club Cars any more

Crash Test · 26 Apr 2004, 12:12 (Ref:952137)

Yeah that green VS Sports Sedan Brian had was a neat piece of kit, shame it didn't see more of the race tracks around the country...
