A couple of good shots in there, Houghy.

Years and years ago I did a lot of motor racing photography and, to be honest, I found a tripod (I didn't have a mono) to be a hindrance rather than an asset, even with a 300mm lens hanging off the front. I have always enjoyed hill climb events, even though I didn't compete myself. It is great to see that the events are still being staged. Unfortunately I never did make it to the Newcastle venue and mainly visited Silverdale and Amaroo Park.

Another one I missed was the Bathurst run, which (as far as I can gather) used the stretch between Forest Elbow and Skyline as the course. Halcyon days, Houghie.

Postscript:

Sorry to read about your lens.
Good luck - may the gods of financial dealings be with you.
