First lap, cold tyres, 700 hp and questionable talent. What could go wrong? 12 hours ago, TwoHeadsTas said: Mmm, Sven you wouldn;t have been too happy with this, but thanks Hugh for making me even more worried.........😁 No need to worry, it’s just another corner ... did you see my rear wing get airborne and land on the roof of the Mustang? Tony K complained to one of the marshall’s about them having put it there and we both pissed ourselves when the guy said that that’s where it landed! Was a big hit. We had to pull the rear rails to the left on the jig just so we could get the engine out. It was jammed in. Anyway, we won’t be going that hard through there on Saturday - unless I’m chasing Rohan ... The big issue in that crash was Bernie Stack. He copped a huge hit, was pretty knocked about. Car took some time to fix as well. As a post script to the race, old mate in the Torana was with the rest of the guys that were involved in the crash in the medical centre. He was busy apologizing to JB. I nearly gave him a proper reason to be in the medical centre ... I made a conservative estimate as to the cumulative damage bill and I think it was well over 600K. The fact that some of the others thought that they’d run a bit of “Days of Thunder” and try and drive through the carnage as it was unfolding didn’t help either ... 12 hours ago, LeeM said: I wasn't going to mention that one @hugh 😅 Just another chapter in the rich tapestry of stacks that inevitably happen in 20 years of doing it! firstone, LeeM and Troubleshooter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that Mr Orange & Mr Purple IROC will be back at Winton this weekend to show everyone how its done properly! Friday afternoon can not come soon enough.

Coastr Posted 3January, 2021 Report Share Posted 3January, 2021 Wow that was hard to watch. Seems so much more painful when you know there isn’t a transporter full of spares waiting to patch up the cars. Sounds like everyone was Ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidmarks Posted 4January, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 4January, 2021 Update Garage allocations will be advised shortly. We have the entire pit lane so should be plenty of room. For those who want to, they can unload and leave their cars at the track on Friday night and they will be secure. The offer is also there for Saturday night. Winton is handling calling the sessions and making sure we all go out and come back in when we should. Brenton O’Brien from Winton will the the clerk of course and will also say a few words at the drivers briefing. More to follow ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, not sure whether I have paid everything I had to, or whether we need to pay more to cover track hire seeing as our Sydney brothers can't come any more, or any extra for garages (wouldn't be fair for the organisers to be out of pocket at all). Can you please advise (whether individually or group???). 9r and Skidmarks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidmarks Posted 4January, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 4January, 2021 Update In terms of what to wear in car on the day ... Long sleeve, long pants. Helmet. Closed toe shoes- no crocs. Nothing made of anything that started life as a petrochemical extract. Underwear optional. Rohan usually goes Commando ...

An idea was to head up either the Hume Donnybrook servo from 6am or go a little more exciting route via Mansfield starting from Clifton Hill.

Skidmarks Posted 4January, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 4January, 2021 Update Whilst there will be fuel available at the track and in Benalla, Panta Fuels is also bringing up some Unleaded Race 98 (2.62% oxygen) and Panta Max 102 (3.69%). Not cheap but they’ll sell at cost. No pressure to buy - my mission will be to use as much as I can of both! I’ll be back to backing the 98 an 102 for shits and giggles. We’ve used it and other than the high oxygen, it’s stable, clean and burns a little cooler which is good for the top end. Just an opportunity to indulge a little more if you’re so inclined ... while we’re there ... We’re also looking at securing the services of a professional photographer (does work for Porsche Cars Australia) to compile a photo record of the weekend - the plan is to have these available to you all FOC. I’m just sorting through this with @hugh Why ...? Why not? Reflecting on the coming weekend, I’m really disappointed that our NSW people are missing out but fear not, I have a plan for a mid year repeat as well as looking at doing this each year in January. The ability to participate in any future events is automatic for those that are in for this weekend (including our mates who can’t come because of the border shut down) and we’ll then see who else we might want to join us in the future. The day (and weekend) is all about relaxed interaction, getting to know each other and your cars. It hasn’t been advertised. It’s just for those that know. Nice and private. No bullshit. All fun. 9r, luzzo, MFX and 5 others 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
