Good Morning everyone,

I have some interest from 2 people at this point - Wayne Lee is the name of the gentlemen that I was racing with a week ago. His brother is possibly interested as well, which is where the 2nd person would come from. Both are very capable racers, with Wayne and I having a good dual at Sandown before I nose-planted it only a guard though -easy fix

I have forwarded them all of the info incl. AROCA site and also this forum.

Wayne needs to speak to his brother and then he will get back to me/us.

Shall let everyone know in due course.

Darren.

Good work Darren....just under 3 months to go now so hopefully we have full teams soon!

[shornesheep]

I am also waiting on responses from a chap in Wagga there may be 3 there hopefully we can fill the vavant positions out of those 5

[shornesheep]

Grumpy Automotive racing is now the only confirmed full team for the 6 hour
Rob Paton and his co-driver are trekking down from Wagga Wagga to join us for the event
this now leaves 1 vacancy in Team Corolla and Oscar has not conformed his participation in Team Japan
so if we get 2 more entries Oscar will miss out
also
some of you would have heard we were going to have to run 3 teams out of 2 garages
this issue has been solved
we will be in the last garage and our 3rd team will be running out of the gate at the end of the pit garages
not ideal but better then trying to fit 3 cars out 2 doors

[timbosaurus]

[shornesheep]

the commonwhore would be consistant
(yours not mine)

[shornesheep]

news flash
Adams brother will be having his bucks party that weekend
and we're all invited (it's in Sydney and we're not really invited)
what this means is
Adam will be will not be able to manage Team Japan
so if any body has a willing friend or family member to help us out it ill be greatly apreciated

Can someone send me a copy of the regs for this event. I'm trying to buy some race gear and want to know what the go is about open faced helmets amongst other things.

[Silly Rabbit]

Here you go Justin

Cheers Rabbit.

I may be in trouble being allowed to run in this as according to the regs:

4.11 ELIGIBILITY OF DRIVERS

All drivers must have competed in at least 3 (three) club sprint or higher level events prior to the Event
or have a proven history of Motor Racing or Sprinting as a licensed driver.

As i've done a great whopping 0 events...

[SilverRA23]

They have never previously enforced that rule so I wouldn't worry.

The biggest thing for you to do will be keep an eye on the mirrors. Traffic is busy when you are coming up to speed.

Your hillclimb experience counts for something too, so don't stress.

[ian]

you will be ok justin ,
i have raced against people that have been doing it for years
but i would not get in a car with them to go to the milk bar ,
common sense is more important than experience
