I'll open with an interesting moment for our friend Mr Gully. "Cold brakes".

Note I give the Neil Choi patented caring glance to the right.
Here's Mick 'knocking on my door'. That's what 10 seconds per lap looks like folks.

But it's a joy to see a series 1 Sud Ti dash still intact in a competition car........ :)

Now a days, you can always count on a friend being there with a camera . Just great to see the Sud out there again Evan posting very respectable times
Just a quick couple of laps from Dad's point of view.
I was driving my V6 75. It was definitely out of its depth on the track, but still loads of fun.
Note the two wheeling action through turn 3. Explains why the exhaust broke during the next run.
A few laps from the weekend.

Joe Falcone in his Alfa 75 twin spark always seems to be in my vision. It was nice to post a time 2 tenths of a second quicker that Joe after being 1 tenth & 3 tenths of a second slower on the previous 2 outings at Sandown. Very evenly matched in under 2 litres modified. You wouldn't want to blink at the wrong time.
no one mentioned Neil was faster than Damon :o
Quoteno one mentioned Neil was faster than Damon
I think the boys are letting him have one last moment in the sun before Cailum drops him one more down the pecking order

Quoteyou got the one with the only time i passed you?
Either camera failure at that moment or its on the editors floor having been cut LOL
Gully
my moneys on editors floor ;D
Looks like everyone had a good time :) Sorry to have missed it!
I'm trying to convince Hugh and Mick to take the Ricciardi to a Sprint or two while I'm away - maybe they can get it into the habit of going a bit quicker!
Tim,
May I take the Ricciardi to Broadford, I will promise not to beach it into turn 1 on the cool down lap.
Neil
Natsoft says this was my fastest lap for the day!
1.29.0795.
Here is a photo gallery from a photographer wondering around on the day.
Enjoy.

Good photos! Nice to see our Sud has the back wheel up. Spooky to see the ghost of John's Sud...
footage looks excellent.. who do I need to speak with to get my 116GTV trackside? and what are the min requirements? AROCA member? CAMS licence? harness? etc..
I ran sandown years ago maybe 2005 or 6.. blew a headgasket.. :) it's time to try again I reckon.. NA this time.. was supercharged last time..
Neil Choi is your man. Competition Secretary.
Hear is a link to a really good article put together by Evan Bottcher a couple of years ago. Maybe this should be re published on the completion board.

If your not doing anything this Saturday come down to Philip Island for a look.
Drop me a PM if you have any other queries.
great link, thanks Paul..
Looks like I have some money to spend on licences and club membership.. the car is pretty close to functional, so shouldn't be hard to get it across the line.. 2014 might have to be my year.. I'm most interested in Broadford.. I've ridden motorbikes around it and 4 wheels will make finding lines much easier..
