The Kiwis from the SAS Autoparts MSC NZ Formula 5000 Tasman Cup Revival Series who shipped their F5000 cars up to the official US 50th anniversary celebrations of the category at the Laguna Seca circuit in Northern California made a big impression at the 2018 Monterey Motorsports Pre-Reunion meeting.<\/p>\n

The first race was won by series\u2019 young gun Michael Collins (McRae GM1) from Melbourne-based series regular Paul Zazryn with the first \u2018local\u2019 drivers, Kyle Tilley (Lola T330) and Craig Bennett (Shadow DN6) third and fourth respectively. Former SAS Autoparts MSC series champion Steve Ross (McRae GM1) joined Christchurch 22-year-old Collins on the front row of the grid, but was caught and passed by Zazryn then Tilley and Bennett to cross the finish line fifth.<\/p>\n

Sixth was UK-based SAS Autoparts MSC series regular Greg Thornton (Chevron B24), seventh Aucklander Grant Martin (Talon MR1A). Phillip Lewis was second Aussie home in his Matich A50 in eighth place ahead of US F5000 series regular Mark Harmer in an early model Surtees TS5, and reigning SAS Autoparts MSC series title holder Andy Higgins (Lola T332), fellow Aucklander Aaron Burson (Talon MR1A) and Russell Greer from Blenheim (Lola T332).<\/p>\n

The locals got their revenge in the second weekend race on Sunday, won by Craig Bennett from Milford, Michigan in the unique Dodge-engined Shadow DN6, with Australian driver Paul Zazryn (Lola T332) again second and American ace Kyle Tilley again third in his Lola T330.<\/p>\n

First race winner, Kiwi Michael Collins (McRae GM1), was in the mix up front in the second race as well but admitted afterwards that the other front-runners got a better run off the re-start after a mid-race Safety Car period.<\/p>\n

\r\n
\r\n \r\n\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n <\/div><\/figure>\n

Still Collins retained his \u2018leading Kiwi\u2019 status with fourth place ahead of fellow McRae GM1 driver Steve Ross from Dunedin, Brit Greg Thornton (Chevron B24) and Kiwis Andrew Higgins (Lola T332), Brett Willis (Lola T330), Grant Martin (Talon MR1A) and Tony Galbraith (Lola T332).<\/p>\n

Like all the first-time track visitors at the 2018 Monterey Pre-Reunion meeting both Collins and SAS Autoparts MSC Series stalwart Aaron Burson don\u2019t mind admitting they are still in awe of the Laguna Seca circuit.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s crazy the way it climbs then drops away,\u201d Collins said after the second race. \u201cI\u2019m definitely still finding my way around the place and think I probably still will be next weekend. Seeing it on TV just doesn\u2019t do it justice, especially when you drop down off the corkscrew. It\u2019s just so steep. There\u2019s also a lot of camber in the corners too, something else you don\u2019t realise until you get there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just being in the \u2018States with a locally-made car, meanwhile, had Aaron Burson buzzing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said before we left that I was taking the Talon home and one of the first local guys I met here came up and told me he actually built our cars here in California. So yeah, that was a real buzz for a start. I think I can speak for a all the guys who have made the trip up here from New Zealand, too, in saying that we are all still pretty much pinching ourselves that we are here and racing at such a historic circuit, and one which has so much category history associated with it.<\/p>\n

\r\n
\r\n \r\n\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n <\/div><\/figure>\n

\u201cIn terms of driving it is also real bucket list stuff. Michael is right about the elevation changes and the camber in the corners. You watch the MotoGP and Superbike races on TV and you think to yourself, yeah the track goes uphill there but when you get here you\u2019re thinking \u2018man that\u2019s steep.\u2019 And that\u2019s just going up the hill. The corkscrew is so steep going down again that some of the guys on the track walk reckoned they\u2019d need steps if they wanted to climb back up!\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately missing from the track for much of the weekend was the man many had come to see — 77-year-old category super-vet, Ken Smith. The evergreen Auckland racer picked up some sort of gastro bug in the week leading up to the Monterey Pre-Reunion, and though he went out in Saturday\u2019s timed practise session, he only managed a couple of laps in the race later that day before pitting and heading back to his hotel to try and sleep the bug off.<\/p>\n

Fellow Aucklanders Glenn Richards (Lola T400) and Frank Karl (McLaren M10B) were also in the wars.<\/p>\n

Karl ran up the back of the car in front of him in Saturday\u2019s race when its driver hit the kill switch (by mistake) as the pair accelerated onto the start\/finish straight, the ensuring contact ripping a rear wheel off the Kiwi\u2019s car. Richards, meanwhile, blew an engine (also in the first race).<\/p>\n

\r\n
\r\n \r\n\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n <\/div><\/figure>\n

Fortunately, the Frank Karl McLaren can be fixed in time for the main Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion meeting which begins on Wednesday. With just a couple of days to try and source, fit and run in a new engine, however, Glenn Richards has made the hard decision to sit out the rest of the trip and rebuild the engine when the car gets home.<\/p>\n

With the 2018 Monterey Pre-Reunion meeting done and dusted for another year the Kiwi drivers now have the main Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion meeting which starts on Wednesday August 22 and finishes on Sunday August 26, to look forward to.<\/p>\n

The SAS Autoparts MSC NZ F5000 Tasman Cup Revival Series is organised and run with the support of sponsors SAS Autoparts, MSC, NZ Express Transport, Bonney’s Specialised Bulk Transport, Mobil Lubricants, Pacifica, Avon Tyres, Webdesign and Exide Batteries.<\/p>\n
