An AW11 MR2 from Taihape modified to take a 20 valve 4-AGE engine.	Another shot of the 20 valve MR2,  this time waiting in the pits to go out on a run.
Here's that 20 valve again, this time on a trailer.	Here's three of the MR2's that were competing, all lined up on a start grid together.
Another shot of three MR2's on a start grid.	Here's three MR2's and the Stubb's Starlet waiting in the pits.
Here's a shot of all four MR2's competing on the day.  This shot was taken while the cars were lined up in the pits.	This is Alan Woolf's Brabham,  and he sure was fast in it!
This is another car belonging to the Woolf's, this time a Begg Formula Ford .	This is the Bodley's turbocharged Mazda 323.
We just can't resist those MR2's.	This turbocharged, four wheel drive Celica belongs to Harold Bennett.
Harold's Celica from the front.  This is a superb looking vehicle.	Jeff Torkington was racing his Honda CRX,  shown here.

ME8579 through the ess's ahead of the Bodleys 323,  although probably not for long by the looks of it.	MR2's galore. The red one is the 20 valve,  the one in front is TCS Racing's SO863 with ME8579 behind it.  On the right is Rod Hazelton's supercharged AW11 MR2.
