Seeing that I've got my own thread here, might as well use it ....
I read with interest regarding your own "Regularity" 6 Hour Relay, and I believe that our own AROCA President Brad Wilson was down there, taking notes ....
Our AROCA 6 Hour Classic still runs to the tried and true formula where you need logged race cars and NC or PC licences. Its been like this since it started and team numbers have been slowly dwindling. This year only 17 teams met the starters lights.
One of them was
Team Alfetta Allsorts consisting of two Group S Alfettas (my GT and Steve Smith's GTV) plus two Alfetta sedans, that will in time morph onto Group S GTVs.
I've written a detailed story, which you can find on our Veloce website: -
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/VeloceRacingAssociation/But briefly, we managed to finish 6th on handicap, which is not bad for a bunch of 6 Hour virgins (yours truly being the only past participant.) My GT ran like clockwork all weekend with 21 laps in practice and 50 laps in the race. Urs Muller dod 61 race laps, but had an eventful practice when he blew an oil filter seal, spun on his own oil and started a grass fire. The Smith GTV overheated in practice and then broke a throttle linkage in the race and was stranded out on the track. Also stranded on the track was Danny Gatto's Alfetta with electrical woes after only 6 laps.
We had the only Group S cars in the race, all the other Alfas being a mish-mash. Other prominent marques were BMW / Mini, Porsches and Lotus - all who were much quicler than us, so it was a case of watching the mirrors. But it was fun.
