Club Torque Spring 2021

Porsches and trucks. He was also a gentle man, leading to his nickname of “Gentleman Jim.” What did the MX-5 club offer to you to help get you to compete? From memory, very little if anything from the club. The main help was from Club Members, and in particular Mike Hicks. What does the future hold for you on the track? More of the same. Competing in regularity events at Phillip Island, Winton and Mount Panorama. At some stage in the future I would like to have a run on “The Bend” raceway in South Australia. I almost got there in 2020, but COVID-19 and border restrictions meant I had to cancel that trip. Favourite drive off the track? The M5 on my way to Phillip Island or Winton or the Great Western Highway on my way to Mount Panorama, because the months of anticipation and planning are behind me and I am actually on my way to compete in great events.
