Dear reader, please Note: The Hills in this article are not haunted at all.  What you hear in the videos attached to this story is merely the rustling of spring.

The event at Haunted Hills is a part of the Victorian Historic Racing Register's Trident Series, which also includes events at Rob Roy and Heathcote.

Despite the attraction of a football match being played up town in Melbourne that same day, the event at the Morwell circuit drew a good crowd (crowd of good people) and a good number of fine old racing automobiles deserving the label Historic.


New facilities have been added to the circuit since Motormarques visited last year. Fine new garages have been constructed, an even finer glass-enclosed viewing platform/restaurant is now almost completed, new washrooms are installed and the same amazing view of the entire circuit continues to take the breath away.

 

Some gentle reader might be kind enough to supply me with captions for Richard Abey'sphotographs, and for comments on the circuit and of the day's racing.
