Hi everyone,
Just starting off the photos and videos thread for Sandown.

Enjoy! 8)
How hot was it there today? A meeting for only the brave, ps nice photos Marisa
Awesome pics as always Marisa, thanks for braving the heat to take a few !
@Ray: It was bearable in the shade, but bloody hot on the track. Lots of fun still...
How good does Joe's new car look? I love Alfettas!

Thanks for the photos Marissa!
Ha!... here I am trailing another 105 coupe into Dandenong Rd corner, only to be blown away on the next straight.

Thanks I wish I could have stayed out longer, but there was not much shade, still had a great day though! :)
This is my favourite - the snarling Supers of Scuderia Enablieri.
This is me closing fast under brakes on Tony R.....
.. in pit lane :D

My first time running at Sandown. That drift over the top.... whooo boy :D
The organisers and flag marshals - must have been twice as hot for you all trackside - many many thanks - really enjoyed the day.
Many thanks to Evan for some great track notes... which mysteriously dried up as the times got closer....
Cheers,
Yeh thanks Marisa, infact a big thanks to all that helped on such a hot day.
Fantastic to see a lot of different alfas in the mix braving it out in the heat.
By the way Evan, the Alfetta was awesome all day even though everyone got
past me at some stage. There must be heaps of footage of my rear end out
there. ;D
Awesome Evan,
doesn't look as though I held you up as much as those cheeky 105s
Ciao
Evan would make a great 12 hr co driver.
Mr consistency,,,,doesnt abuse mechanicals,smooth,,tyres would last 3 seasons.
Another great vid Evan
You always make it look easy.
My fastest couple of laps for the day.
I really need some power.

Wouldn't be a sprint day without an Aarons giving the thumbs up instead of concentrating on the racetrack.
Amazing photos as always Marisa

Great diving Steve under obviously very trying conditions. I just sat here and watched your tacho for 8 min 12 sec. didn't drop out of the 4000 - 6000 rpm rev range once . That's were you have got to keep the twin spark . Now any ideas of some more power I'm all ears.

No you don't hold me up at all Joe. Which is kind of annoying given you're in a basically stock Alfetta sedan. Something something grumble talent :)

Thanks for filling in for me there Steve!
Here's a little Super-Vision.. Forgive the steering wheel shuffling and, uh, hand-on-the-knob-not-the-wheel going on.. it was hot. ;p
A good example of the blistering pace Richard East's 105 was setting at 5:50... and Tony's green Super belting past around 10:30. Evan Roasting in pit lane reoccurs for your viewing pleasure.
Here's my run in the Mini Cooper, via helmet cam. Struggled on the straights but great fun through the esses!
Those walls look an awful lot closer than I remember.

I'm just waiting for Tony's video of him nearly taking you out on turn one - I was in the prime position to see it all unfold, locked wheels, screeching tyres and all!

.... I was in the prime position ...
Sitting back in your little air conditioned bubble ? I thought I saw popcorn on your race suit afterwards ;P
Tony and I were both playing fast and loose with the brake markers on T1. I know a certain black GTA was too ;)
The mysterious 'Obtainers' have featured the Sandown trackday on their cool website...

Some great shots of the cars... and a few, uh, artistic angles..... ;)
