The REPCO sponsored Tasman Revival meeting was held at Sydney's Eastern Creek Raceway over the four days of 27/28/29 & 30th November 2008. Thursday was set up day and race cars from all over the world were trailered and freighted into the racetrack complex in the western suburbs of Sydney.
Millions of dollars of race cars were on show. Top motorsport photographer, John Stanley of Sydney, was on hand on the 30th. and his images are presented below....thanks John.
