Only a handful of places left until full.  Don't be disappointed.  Get your entry in this weekend, or too late.

Going to be a great day at the Island.  Sunny and dry but bring a coat.
Lots of cars to see go around.
Come up and say hello.

Phillip Island turned on glorious sunshine for the day, albeit a little chilly.

After about 20 years since last taking part in a sprint, two things struck me. First, the increase in the speed differential between the fast and slow cars.

Secondly, what has not changed is that the Aroca organisers of the event do a great job - thanks Neil, David, Bruno, Mandy, Ross and the others (and apologies for not remembering names) who volunteered their time.

Many thanks, John

Hi John,

Agreed, the Club does a fantastic job staging these events!

It was great to see a Mito out on the track yesterday, I'm assuming that was you?
I was intending to check it out in the pits because its the first one i've seen at a sprint, but didn't find the time. :P

Cheers,
Alan

Correct - hoping to make it to more Aroca events now that the kids are more independent!

Phillip Island from an organization perspective is a real challenge however very rewarding when you get it right.  A bit like driving on it!

120+ entrants is a good sign grass roots motorsport can be popular given the correct ingredients.  P.I being relatively close to Melbourne is a bonus.

Looking forward to Broadford in a couple of weeks.  Long range weather forecast looks promising and the canteen food is every bit as good as Phillip Island.  Plus Broadford is a bit closer to Melbourne CBD than "The Island"!
