central3 31 Report post Posted October 21, 2013 For those of you who, like me were not aware. The circuit and museum opened last Easter in Cromwell. Huge investment by the owner of VIP pet food who has big operations in Australia, USA and NZ. Apparently he had a look at Hampton Downs but due to its inability to host GT3 rounds (?), which he apparently does in Aussie, he decided to set up his own course. Amazing array of cars, bikes and a truck (Inky's). NO BMW's!!!!!!!!! A few photos follow (the Stanton Special must have been man in its time (1953?) it was quick and reliable - 12.8 second quarter - supercharged at the time I think) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
