The next John Mott Memorial Sprint will be held (as usual) at Sandown on both days of the weekend of 25 and 26 July 2009. Saturday is a practice day and Sunday is a competition day. Details:
http://www.nissancarclub.org.au/Events/?e=44

Its run by the Nissan Car Club of Australia (http://www.nissancarclub.org.au)

So even if you aren't competing come down! You might need to tell the guard on the gate that your "there with the Nissan Car Club", but there's no entry fee. You should even be able to join the club on the day.

Legal racing of roadworthy cars, just need a few minor mods (fire extinguisher, second bonnet retainer.....)

Callum,

Great shots there!!

YOu are getting REALLY good with that camera!!

May I ask why you were not racing? I assume $$$, as that is my excuse...Although I had some family stuff to do additionally which kept me busy :(

nah not $$, time!

I want to get the brakes finished and do a couple of drives with them before I track it again. Getting the longer studs in has been a BITCH!. 3 tonne to press the old ones out, 3 tonne for most to go back in, but two took 10 tonne!!!!! Needless to say I spend toooooo many hours with a hammer the freezer and a butane torch before I gave up and went to the press. Once getting them out and again getting them in. So just didn't get it finished in time.

We both should have entered, on the Sunday they were way under subscribed and everyone got about 8 runs in. Apparently there is lots of sprints/rallies/track events on at them moment so people are choosing, leaving most fields low.

Families always get in the way, I reckon I get about half a day a week max. Wouldn't change it, but the young guys and empty-nesters get lots more play time!
