Touring Car Masters 2014 Phillip Island Circuit

Greg Crick #75 1971 Charger E 49 "SWEET"

This is a great series, where else are you going to find a 69 Mustang and a 69 Camaro going head to head as you will see in this race and only in Australia. The number 18 of John Bowe really attacks and rotates through the  corners, the set up on this 69 Mustang just hooks up! 
In the 69 Camaro is Andrew Miedecke and had this to say about the race.  "We've been racing each other for 30 years, starting in Ralts in the early 80's and it was hammer-and-tong then and the racing is just as clean and just as hard as it was then".

Touring Car Masters is Australia’s top series for Historic Touring Cars from the classic period of muscle car competition between 1964 and 1976. 

Showcasing a selection of immaculately prepared touring cars of the pre-1976 era, the Touring Car Masters boasts some of the sport's most iconic muscle cars from Falcon GT's, BOSS Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros, Chrysler Chargers and Holden Monaros.

DARWIN QUALIFYING

Old School at Hidden Valley Raceway, 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) from Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. Known for its high speeds and fast lap times. It is 2.87 kilometers (1.78 mi) long and has 14 corners, with a main straight 1.1 kilometers (0.7 mi) in length. In order to win, the race car has to flow well through the sweeping bends and also needs top end horsepower for the main straight.

Touring Car Masters JOHN BOWE has scored a stunning fifth pole position from seven attempts in ENZED TCM qualifying at Hidden Valley Raceway in Darwin. Bowe completed only one flying lap with a record-breaking 1m14.15s effort placing him 1.6s ahead of Jim Richards and Andrew Miedecke.

The Bowe-Richards 1-2 effort was the fifth time from seven visits to the top end that the pair has locked out the front row of the grid at Hidden Valley.

Tony Karanfilovski scored fourth and Jason Gomersall fifth in his new Torana. Keith Kassulke, Cameron Mason, Adam Bressington, Eddie Abelnica and Brett Youlden completed the top 10.

Ford products dominated the top-10 with three Mustangs and four Falcons filling the first five rows of the grid.

Love this series, where else you going to see refurbished and updated 70 cars priced at $120,000 used (you can buy one) running the track?  That's right Mate, you'll have to go to Australia!
