Well, things are heating up for the big NZ trip! We're now in the process of getting our two race cars ready for the container which we hope to have loaded and on it's way by the end of October. The first 40' container will include our two cars (double-decked), Larry Detrich's newly acquired F-5000 which he taking down to NZ, and Phil Shires' Elva. Then next month the other three Denver cars, two Terry Hefty cars and Paul Morgan's March 722 will be put in another container and sent on their way. . Terry Hefty is taking two cars and a California friend of his, Dean Meiling, will drive one of them. As of this moment the following is the list of who is going from Denver. Diane Alder, 1965 Miller Sports Racer, 1600cc Ford Crossflow Bob Alder, 1972 Titan Mk6B Formula Ford, 1600cc Ford Crossflow Phil Shires, 1962 Elva Mk 6, 1600cc Ford Crossflow Terry Hefty, 1966 Lotus Elan, 1600cc Twin Cam Dean Meiling, 1966 Lotus Super, 7 1500cc push rod (Terry's second car) Paul Morgan, 1972 March 722 F2, 2 litre Cosworth With the exception of a gear change (To be ready for the first track, one less thing to do there.), Diane's car is ready to go. As can be seen in the photos below, my Formula Ford is awaiting a new engine. Bill Bradford should have it ready to install this weekend (October 10th). Then, the FF is ready to go and the old motor (which was fine) will be taken to NZ as a spare. It can be used in either Diane's or my car, so that will offer a LOT of peace of mind to have it. Larry and I hope to have the first container ready to load in about 10 days. He and Kay are leaving for their Southern-Hemisphere Christchurch home on November 1st, so he will be there way before the first shipment of cars arrive. More updates to follow. Stay tuned.
