However in saying that I think that it is only a matter of time before we see the two classes running at the same meeting in the same way as we had the NZ Saloon Car Championship running with OSCA all those years ago where both classes ran separate races at the what you would now call the Tier One meetings in the South Island. The North Islanders such as Fahey, Coppins, Dawson, Riley etc with their Mustangs and Camaros competed in the NZ championship races and all the South Islanders with their creations in the OSCA races.

It worked then and it can work again and as it turned out in the end, it provided good entertaining motorsport.

Funny enough it eventually lead to each party recognising the strength of the other side and a number of Northern cars made their way south and a number of Northerners built OSCA cars.

And so peace was made and everyone moved on to live happily ever after until recent times which only goes to prove that those who do not learn from the lessons of history are doomed to repeat its failures in the future.

I hope that others out there are taking your wise words on board!
