Weather was good today - very hot and a little windy. Forcasting showers tomorrow and I can feel the change coming through now. Fingers crossed its not too bad.

Tenrocca 10-03-2008 03:48 AM

A few more interesting or new cars:

Looks like terrific weather for it and more than a few foolish grins to be had. Have a fantastic weekend guys. Hopefully I'll make the "virgin" list next year.

Sambo

PS. Boxhead - I love the Darkside touch. :)

Clois Harlan 10-03-2008 07:19 AM

I noticed that several of the cars seem to be painted in a low luster paint or flat colors if you will. Is that a popular option these days in Australia? I like the chambray yellow and teal green looks especially well.

Well spotted Clois - its a new pain technique called "tinted primer" :). Most these new guy's cars are incomplete - temp paint jobs just for the time being. Gav (green) and boxheads (yellow) cars in particular have come up great.

Fantastic Pics Tenrocca

Thanks for taking the time out to post for those of us that couldn't make it.

Keep 'em coming if you can and good luck out there

Very Nice pics. Love the Boxhead bonnet emblem :)

I agree, keep them coming.

I bet the virgins are grins from ear to ear.:)

Tenrocca 10-04-2008 12:24 AM

Not too many smiles today im afraid - pretty much rained out. i got to do a few laps in the subaru though to dry the track out. karen said I drove like a girl :( Few more pics to come.....;)

Did Warwick Harrison turn up with his FFR Daytona Coupe?
Nice pics by the way.

Rebel1 10-04-2008 02:43 AM

Tell me about this "B-Club" :confused:

Is it true they are the rejects from the Jenny Craig netball team? ;):eek:

Only one Daytona Ive seen so far - Stiffy.
Lots more GT40s this year though.

The B-club...well Les, I could tell you but then Id have to kill you. Lets say it could involve a secret handshake.....sacrificial alters.....full moons and virgins (although we cant find any of those in Goulburn). :D



Few more pics:

Not sure when Churchy swapped over his b-Club plate for this pic :) (I am a dead man):

This thing is fast....I timed a few laps at 1:03 in practice:

Stiffy said it was "awesome" - at least I THINK he was talking about the engine.
Darren (The green one with the "cobra" sidepie covers) who had a LS1 last year now has a L76 and cam reckons its a completely different car - fewer gear changes etc.

Tomorrow will be a big day to see how everyone compares as there really hasnt been any official timed events yet. Weather is forcast to clear - so we shall see how it goes.

Cheers :)

It was great to catch up with you B CLUB guys there.

Good to hear that Sunday was a better day.

Merv and Sharon 10-05-2008 02:53 AM

Now we know why Cobras have wipers and demisters!

Wish I was there - next year. Keep up the fabulous photos. They are very professional.

Day 3
 
As mentioned, the weather came good for day 3, and blessed the gang with a dry day - and a fun time was had by all. A few more pics:

Phil "El presidente" Mizzi looking out over all he had done, and was happy with what he saw. (Seriously top effort fromthe Mizz - a nicer bloke you will never meet and the work he and the nationals team did was just awesome under sometimes trying conditions)
