Touring Car Masters, Easter Creek, 31/8/13-1/9/13

[DJV8T5]

On the weekend gone, I went up to the Touring Car Masters in Eastern Creek. I went with my Dad, it makes a good weekend away too. I got quite a few photos from my phone over the weekend, definitely worth going to see some old and even rare cars going out on the track. It is great to be able to walk through the pits, and talk with the crews and drivers. It is a worthwhile event to attend for some of the insight you get from the people and getting to see some cars you wouldn't normally see, one in particular this year was a DeTomaso Pantera GTS. A few other nice cars were a pair of Fox body Mustangs, one of which was the Greens-Tuf ex-Dick Johnson car. Obviously there was some great racing happening over the days too.

Another notable car was a VN Group A that was left hand drive.

Nice pics man! Defintely some decent cars there! The scoops on the front of that EH are cooling ducts for the front brakes.

yeah, they have 2 sets of hoses of them, 2 for brakes, not sure where the others go.
