A quick note to all.

Fantastic day for all at PI, I think I have paid enough to the weather god this time around.  Unfortunate for those in red cars, but I am sure they will be back with shiny new paint.  I have just called my painter to paint my car white.

I have to point out and express thanks to the following people who made the day happen and ran it like clockwork.

Starting from the ground up:
Thanks to:
Bruno Colautti, his tow truck business is getting more and more successful, not that he wanted that way.  He also doubled as chief scrutineer.

Simon and Colin Ruck from MX5 club, Kathy Sinclair, all the rostered helpers from the drivers pool, all the Alfa members who helped (sorry, I can’t recall all of them as I was still running around doing all sorts of jobs and helping recovery), for all their help to man Start/Finish and dummy grid to keep all those dummies under control.

I must stress to all drivers from all clubs that as a participant, it would be greatly appreciated if you could lend a hand at some stage during the day during the event or at an upcoming event as we are alway short of hands especially in the morning, Start/Finish and dummy grid.  Please come and ask on the day, your assistance will never be turn away, but if we do, you are lucky.

Big thanks to Kate Campbell-Gordon for doing most of the administration jobs (in fact all of them) in the office and check-in and PA and speaking with drivers and being the CoC’s messenger of bad news and assistance to CoC and me and everything else and …………..I can keep going.

Brad Marshal for manning check-in, photocopying boy, helping Bruno to set up track.

All the scrutineers who worked out in the shed away from everything else.

Jenni Cross and Paul Cansdale in timing.

Erik Reuben for being the CAMS steward

Big thanks to Alister Grigg and Greg Savage for CoC and running the day so smoothly, calmly, decisively, efficiently and most of all in a fun and AROCA way.  There must be a way to get Alister to keep going after all the fun he has had and Greg to change teams and join AROCA, I am sure a GTV is more appealing than one of those MX5

There are whole heap of others who I have forgotten and I apologize, feel free to abuse but also to post if you know of anyone.

Last but not least the Geelong Flag Marshals without whom, we would not have gotten so many runs.

I will post results out as soon as I receive them from Ian and collate.

See you all at Winton on 10 Aug, supp regs and ef are available, see that thread or email me.

Best regards
Neil

For the vultures...

Regardless of the damage, it's a great day when we can all walk away (I know it's pretty easy for my to say ... I drove home with a PB)

I'm looking forward to seeing the all the sore cars better again.

So i hear Brad, Well done and some ice for the bruising

Hey Stuey, did you spill your machiato?

Ambition exceeded ability...

Put a wheel in the dirt coming onto the main straight.  Spun to the inside into the wall.

There's a brown stain on the race suit now, must have been the Macchiato
