A friend sent me a link today to the following video taken in 2008, I was fortunate to be at Mt Panorama Bathurst for the Easter meeting in 2008, three friends were racing in that event, in the yellow A30, the white and blue striped Mini and in the orange Holden EH.
If you don't live in Australia you may not know about this track, it is without doubt one of the best race tracks in the world, situated about 2 hours west of Sydney. Following are a few photos taken over the weekend.
The Ford Customline which is also shown in the video launched off the ripple strips at the end of the main straight and tore a hole in the sump.

The blue Ford Galaxie shown in the following photo blew the motor at the top of the mountain and deposited the contents on the racing line taking out about a dozen cars, fortunately my friends missed the resulting carnage.
If you get a chance to visit this track especially for a historic race meeting dont miss it.
Photos were taken with Nikon D80 using an 18-200 Nikon lens.
