Re: Vintage race AU Grattan !
The highly condensed report I heard is that Dick Luening won Sunday's all-MG feature race. (I'm very keen to photograph his MGB!) Also, I heard that John Targett had mechanical problems on Saturday, so he didn't get a decent qualifying time for the all-MG race, he started in eighth position, and he managed to work his way up to a second place finish. I didn't hear how the V8s or Spridgets ran.

Re: Vintage race AU Grattan !
Yes, Leuning was going away ! John Targett did well although he some niggling problems earlier on, he was paddocked with Don Munoz GT and Dave Anderson's Sunbeam Alpine. Don was having teething problems all weekend due to the multitude of changes made to the car since originally purchasing it, Jim Fletchers GT (ex Kieth Burnett) was going good early on but was sidelined with driveline issues and went home early, I ended up cooking all weekend.
