Shannon’s Classic 2013
Phillip Island
Sunday the 10th of March.
It was a beautiful clear day with minimal wind and maximum horsepower.
Thousands of enthusiasts flocked to the Island to experience the blasts from the past.
Motoring royalty from ex competition V8’s to classic Cobra’s, GT 40’s and Porsche’s. If it had pedigree; it was there.
Mark Skaife made a late appearance, arriving by helicopter (from his son’s birthday party) starting at the back of the pack and finishing 2nd.
Even our good mate’s John and Scotty from Red Bus Racing had their beautiful Winfield replica skyline out on the track.
The enthusiast display glimmered through the heat haze as we walked. Rows of freshly washed machines would emerge through the blurred horizon as we moved towards them.
The car of the weekend (for me) was a beautifully presented Datsun Bluebird.
