They're getting closer . . .

People still interested?

I'll probably run a car load or two down on one of the days, haven't decide which yet (Saturday for the supersprint or Sunday for the Concours).

Anyone else making plans? entering the SS?

I wanna go. But maybe next year.

Is it at Phillip Island every year or do they change venues year to year?

Nah, It moves about sort off. They used to happen a fair bit apparently, then they died of, then there was one two years ago in middle NSW. I think it was walaroo? So this might be the last for a while too,

Yes I am going to watch -DAMMIT --

I tried to get it ready, but I ran out of time and money so I will come down to watch.

Brakes were more expensive than I thought, turbo oil drain is stuffed and the car is not tuned!

So I am watching from the sidelines again, which is really frustrating.

I will be heading down Saturday to watch the Supersprints, I have to be back in Melbourne early on though.

Darren.
Race it.

Went down today, was a really good day, had perfect weather. Lots of very nice cars there. The most interesting one to me was the Gibson Exa!
I took a few happy snaps as you will soon see.

Other cars of interest to me was the RB30DE 260z, VG30DE 1600, Twin turbo A series? 1200 UTE hahaha, and the red GTiR to name a few.

The Gibson Exa was very interesting!
I got some shots under the rear as best i could due to how low it was. The front sway bar used a similar setup to the rear with the rose joints. Had a very low mounted T3 ( i didnt realise it was so low and runners that long)

He unfortunatly broke the gearbox casing because of the solid mounts, it just tore the alloy box up

Pics (lots):
