That's what I'm looking for, exactly. I can finally make a plan for those bodies now, assuming they are still usable. They may have been waiting so long they may have become brittle. I'll paint them anyway, it just makes the difference of whether they race or not. Thank you very much, guys.

How far does the 1:1 Bathurst track fall from the top of the long straight to the 90 degree turn at the very bottom? Also, is that hump on the shop track prototypical, or is it for fun on the slot car track.?

There's 570' difference between the highest and lowest point on the track. Not sure what the rise and fall on Conrod is. Conrod Straight has two distinct humps in it.

...Its about the only place on earth that Kangaroos jump out on the track during the race coverage....

They need Bull (brush) bars on the front of the Supercars (with big UHF ariels) and spotlights....

Yeah!

Wow! I knew it was something huge, but... That's almost 18 feet in 1/32. Mount Panorama indeed!

Yeah those are some awesome fords to bad they won't be selling them in the states for people who love the Aussie falcons my ol man had one brought to the states when he was in a corporate job it was a 67 had a small six in it, but dad had a 289 put in it and it had buckets and a four speed from the factory it was a fun car to ride in cause the people in Ohio never saw a passenger sit where the driver should be.

That was in 1971, I think I had more laughs per mile than a person has a right to in that car with all them looking so confused at how come a child is driving the car and then they realize I wasn't driving, even had a state trooper pulled us over and was getting ready to give me a big time ticket for driving a car, I was eight at the time dad just laughed at the state officer when he realized it was a RHD car.

My uncle brought a Lotus Cortina home with him from his time in the Air Force back in the early 60s. When he arrived at the house, we were all there to meet him, and he drove up in that pale yellow, clunky looking RHD car, and we all just stared at it. It seemed tiny to us, smaller than the Beetles we were only beginning to adjust to. It is actually the same size, it just looks smaller because the wheels are much smaller. He took everyone for a ride in it, and after the grandparents rode in it, it was my turn. We went around the block in about as much time as it takes to buckle a seat belt and blink. I was in love immediately. I had never seen a hand brake handle on the hump before or buckets seats, and when I asked what that handle was, he grinned and said, "That's the landing gear".
