Why did you tell us you were heading across.

You were in the team with Jeff Smith?

Well done for competing.  How did you go, report?

That HQ wasn't going to last long in front.  Cutting you off that badly was a bit of a drama.

I am in communications with Peter Axford, along with Victor Lee, trying to hatch a plan so a Vic Alfa team can once again go across in 2014 and so on, like the good old days, and still fit in all the Vic events.

Lets start planning.

But well done.

One of my plans to head over for the Historics during Easter.

I'd be really interested for 2014. It was always something I wanted to do, but seemed to fall off my radar... well done Ray for making the trip again, looks like you had a good time!

Great vids Ray

Gotta love the way the Sud revs.
Pity the track + event  is a long way from Sydney.
As Evan says= Sud Power
Take him with you next year.

You could just about have a all Sud team, you, Sue, Evan, John Cumming, The Sutherland's Sprint.  I am sure there is another Sud hanging around.

Start recruiting now.

Hi Guys, could not attend this years 6 hour race, car not ready along with a couple of other Alfas in our team, we always have a team of 6 Alfetta GT or GTV, team known as AIM, (Alfettas in motion) getting harder to have 6 Alfettas so 2014 we will still be known as Team AIM (Alfas in motion) with an Alfa 75 in the team, have been competing in this event for 11 years now and yes it is a great event, we would like to see at least 25 or more teams competing, this year there were 19?
Folks,
2014 the MSCA who run the event, have suggested our 6 hour may be run later in the year, perhaps Sept, will keep you posted.
I have also suggested to the MSCA why not try a Saturday 6 hour, practice in the morning and the 6 hour starting at say 3pm with perhaps the last hour, maybe 2, run under lights. What a spectacle that would be.
Cheers

Malcolm the saturday is a good idea so is the finishing under lights.timing is important so as not to clash with the aroca six hour. more victorians need to do this event, it is fabulous on a fabulous track
