I went out to Mallala raceway on the weekend. Nothing crazy exciting, but good fun to watch and I took around 200 photos.

Here's a panorama I took of the lineup for the HQ Holdens race:

Not entirely sure what this is, could be an old Lola?

An older 911

A Leyland Mini, was quicker than the Morris Mini which was also out

No Idea what this is, but its very old, and wasn't real fast. Was certainly awesome to watch tho. Looked more like a tractor than a race car.

Camera is a Sony F717, and yes, I did tilt it on purpose, you can fit more of the car in the pic that way :).
