ALL TIME FAVOURITE RACING CAR/DRIVER

Ferrari 250 GTO - no doubt there will be something about that car on the web somewhere...

Favourite driver - Stirling Moss - who needs no introduction here but no doubt there is plenty on the WWW on Stirling.

Stirling was the star attraction at the TACCOC Whenuapai Wings & Wheels meeting at the beginning of March 1997. Such a great shame that the weather spoilt the meeting but Stirling was magnificent - as always.

WAFFLE

The car has been built for Classic Racing, Club Racing, Targa & Tarmac Rallies.   It is absolutely immaculate and is a real credit to John & his team.  The car unfortunately failed at the first Whenuapai meeting - John claims he was trying to catch a Marcos - and the car reappeared for Whenuapai 2000, where once again it failed to finish the meeting.  The latest problems seem to be around the camshaft but a low dif and high revs may have pushed it a bit...  We look forward to seeing it racing in earnest pretty soon.
