Hi all,

Earlier this evening, i was advised that Peter Hopwood's 2:44.2743
Bathurst Healey lap record, set on Sunday Oct 4th 1998 has been broken
today, Sat 3rd April 2010, by Peter Jackson with a lap of 2:43.1543,
in a Group Sa Healey 3000 making Peter the new "Healey King of the
Mountain".

Many of the USA listers will know Peter from his success in the USA V
Australia series a few years ago in his very quick white BJ8. Today,
Peter was driving his 3000 MK1, and racing in a class with very strict
rules regarding mods. Eg no rear disc brakes, no alloy heads, radial
tyres, side shift box and SUs
The only "historic" group S cars (in a field that comprised cars from
1955- 1977) that were faster than Peter were mid to late 1970s model
Porshes. However, Peter also beat a few of those, as well as a couple
of Ferarris; and every entry in the field built between 1960 and 1970...

Congrats to Peter "Action" Jackson!!
