Looking to drive up for the day on Saturday and see you all in action. Do I need a pass to watch?

Cheers
Don

Nup, just turn up and come and have a look.
You would be better to arrive earlier than later.
Everything tends to be wrapped up by about 4pm.

Good first day at the track. Had a few big moments today and made the car look like a paddock basher!

I have just been looking at the results

Looks like a very good field and some very close contests.
Interesting that the fastest cars are both in the 5.0 litre class and separated by only 0:00.1870

Thanks to everyone posting photos and video - helps ease the pain of not being there
(only 364 sleeps...)

Congratulation Mads well deserved win. A 132.4 around Winton for a street car is very impressive very well done.

Bloody hell Holko, I thought Class 6 was for a bunch of knock about lads whos just wanted to have a bit of fun. Faster than all but 2 R-Spec tyre cars and one race car on slicks. That is quick!

I think I was the only "knock about lad" :-)

Andy - you may have to get that "lump of metal with lobes on it" installed before Nationals :-)

Thanks guys! What a great weekend, love coming down for this event.

Happy with our times and car ran smoothly all weekend which was great. Close between LJ and I as always, our cars are strong in different places and it is interesting to see that although "we achieve our speed differently" the lap times are very close. Plus it's cool to see 5L engines doing the best times.

It'd be interesting to analyze where each of you is fast.

I imagine LJ's car has more HP but I reckon the Superformance is a heavier car than your Harrison.

I think you are probably carrying more corner speed and on a technical track like Winton with lots of corners connected together that would be important.

Cheers

Mads and I really enjoy Shelbyfest and look forward to coming down every year, it’s friendly, well run, and most of all, fun.

It was great to see plenty of Cobras attending this year including some new faces.

Like some have already commented, I was also happy a couple of 5 litre cars (and their talented drivers) were up the front.

Many thanks again to the Shelbyfest committee for making this event happen.
