Gnoo Blas Classic Show Oz [pics]

We took the old brown mk1 Escort for a drive over the dividing range to the inland town of Orange. The annual Gnoo Blas Classic was on, a big car show on the oval that is in the middle of the old Gnoo Blas race circuit (read about that here: www.gnooblas.com/history/ ).

We met up with my mate in his beaut KA Ford Laser S (twin carb and 5 speed sports model) and head up the mountains. It was a bit slow in the old 3speed auto 1300 Escort with 3 blokes and their gear on board. But we made it in the end, thankfully with no visits from the wildlife.























Show day was hot and sunny. I buggered off down to the pub for a cold beer and air conditioning later in the day, so missed getting back around for a 2nd lap to take pics of the cars I missed the first time. Plenty of awesome stuff there though.















































































































































And on the way home on the Sunday we called in at the Bathurst 12hr for a look.
I've never seen proper GT3 cars in action and was keen to check them out. And I reckon they're bloody awesome.
Not really retro, so I can take these pics down if they don't fit on here.
