Winton 6 hour 23-24 oct 2010

[trangle]

Trang I have found a 6 hour booklet for you

Thanks Alison.

[ian]

here are a couple more
they certainly dont come up to the same standard of genes






and i would like to thank Adam for the hard work that he put in, i cant express thanks enough ,
this would have been one of the lesser stressful 6 hr races that i have done ,
and the drivers
well i cant add to much more than what already has been expressed
my blue shitter went ok except that i had hardly any brakes in the last stint , it blew the rear slave cylinder seal
i am very happy for graham and his red 22 this was his third 6 hr ( i think )
and his car went well all day ,ray had a problem with his mighty mazda . i hope that it can be fixed soon or we can help him get a celica for next year
adam of course just turned up for the drive , raced ,then drove away , thats a lot more than some of the porsche team did
, Roscoe also did a great job in his celica he took to the track so easily he almost did it in his sleep ( in joke there )

also Jeremy
he seemed to be everywhere helping out , every time i turned around he was doing something , and drove very well , his car certainly got some admiring looks
i really feel proud of you guys , and i am exceptionally proud to be associated with you all,
Alison has really proved to be quite a capable team manager, as well as pleasing to the eye
team celica did well despite mechanical problems for half the team some times it was hard to tell who was out there timbo or simon
eddie had expensive problems and hurt his engine
shamo also had a few problems in the white club car , we will get it going reliably yet shamo , andrew in the 22 went pretty well up to the end ,joey jo jo went extremely well and has taken to track work quicker than a seagull on a hot chip , i am getting to the point where i am not going to tell him any more tricks

and a great thanks to john sheppardson ,and matty ( who is going to run again next year in his GTR nissan )for taking on the team managers job for southern cross racing , they did a great job that also was plagued with mechanical problems ,darryls commodore spat a welsh plug
terry's celica yelled ENOUGH ,Richard in his borrowed corolla went exceptionally well and it was a quick little jigger , he hadn't driven this before except to put it on the trailer mike summers in his little yellow sprite just plugged away , darren seemed to enjoy his run in his nissan pulsar but had a few issues
and importantly i would like to thank the volunteers, fantastic job slim did a great job there
trang made sure that we all got fat , and if i have forgot to mention anyone please forgive me ,as you all know that i have been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer,s and i will be ratshit in a few years
i came away from this event tired , but satisfied that we showed them what real team work really is ,
i may even be persuaded to do it again ,, that is if i don't have to stop and ask directions,
this was going to be my last 6 hr,
i have already had people speaking to me about wanting to run with us next year

Have a good holiday Ian, can you chase up my new car that was supposed to be arriving here from there at the end of September while you are there - LOL

[ian]

[Big Trev]

I wouldn't be surprised Ian, it is a white Ford Ranger auto, let me know if it is a good car or not - LOL

[penguin]

Good on you Ian have a good but not too good a time and do not try to re-find your lost youth amoungst the natives, that could make an old man of you ,bon voyage

[Rallystanza]

Well!

Finally found the time to get on here!

The weekend was an awesome sucess and it was so great to catch up with everyone at the event again this year. I just wish we were all doing more motorsport stuff together.

A big thank you to all the teams and all the people that came with us and helped out.

Im so glad my car ran perfectly for the whole weekend, except for the part where I realised I have never looked at the factory temp gauge whilst going hard left, because it goes all the way into the red causing me to shit myself and come into pits hahaha! Apart from that I just found joy in ripping into alot more expensive cars and having people ask, where is the turbo, or its a 2lt yeah? NO its a standard 1.6lt!!! N/A to boot.

I must also thank my lovely girlfriend, Lucinda, for all the hard work she did for me in getting food and luxuries happening and then spending the entire 6hr on the wall timing for the team. Thanks so much

I have some photos I'll wack up too, given the time, it seems to take forever...unless im doing it wrong...

Bring on next year! I know im up for it!

Jeremy, Silver sprinter car 292.



I suppose the wrap up from me is a big thanks to all that made the weekend fun and excellent.
