Bathurst on the way home from Grenfell

Monday 23rd September - 2019

On the way home from the Grenfell Model A Ford weekend...

My car sitting on the famous Start/Finish line of the
main straight of the Mount Panorama Circuit at Bathurst.

We decided to give the Model A Ford a quick few qualifying laps around the Mount Panorama Circuit to bed in the tyres and brakes, and also make sure the mixtures are correct. 


Prepared for the G-force loadings, the Model A Ford 
heads down the mountain and through the esses.

The most important thing in running in a race like this is to have your mixtures correct or you could blow a Con Rod out the side of your engine on Conrod Straight, not forgetting to choose the correct gear ratios for the the ‘BIG RACE’ around the mountain on October 13th, 2019 at Mount Panorama in Bathurst, NSW, Australia.


On the top of the mountain at around 850m,
Sulman Park merges to McPhillamy Park, this is where
the diehards camp out on race weekend
