Winton, June 27, 1999 |
||
| There were 42 paid entries
received for this event and more than 38 managed to get on to the track on the day.
Although the distance of the track from Melbourne discouraged many, those that did make
the trek found it well worthwhile. We had some visitors for the day from the BLCC
and AROCA. A report on the day may be found in Recent Track Events,
which includes a listing of all cars and drivers that actually made it to the event and
includes a summary of times by marque and by driver. Detailed individual lap times
may be downloaded from
the site. Photographs on this day were taken by Ted Fregon with his new digital camera. The following cars and people are featured on this page:
