Festival of Sporting Cars http://www.fosc.com.au (http://www.fosc.com.au)

I took a very small handful of photos, but all the real action ones will be by the pro photographers.....I've been keeping my eye open, but none seem to have been posted up yet.  Will put up some links when they do.

Phil,

How did your Bathurst go . I tried to follow the results on Natsoft but you appeared to be in the over 2 Litre class???. Also saw a couple of DNF's for you towards the end. ( Nothing seroius??).

Cheers


Paul

I like this one, three Alfetta's heading into hell corner, if you look closely on the LHS of the shot there is another one (black) there too.....what the photo does not show is that there was yet another just off on my drivers side door!!

the shot into "Hell Corner" is a terrific "i was there and can prove it" shot but the previous one is just brilliant!

Hey Phil,

What sort of times were you posting around the mountain this year?

Cheers,

Brent

Hey Brent, I was doing 2.53 which was not an improvement on last years time  >:(

However messrs Pucak, Newby, Gatto, Karanfilovski (and some others I am sure) all improved on their times from last year and all were bloody impressive times!!

Fantastic. Those are impressive times for a 2l considering the track has a 174m elevation. I will definitely attempt to get down there next year for a look. The photographs on various sites look fantastic.

Cheers,

Brent

I just might take you up on that.

Let's get the East Coast Challenge out of the way first. Up to 21 entries now with plenty of regulars yet to send in their forms so it's looking good.

Cheers,

Brent

Hey Brent, 

And then come to the biggest ever Alfa Romeo only race meeting in Australia at the fantastic Phillip Island circuit in March next year!

The Veloce boys are onboard, so as some New Zealand Alfas and very likely some European Alfas.  Not to mention (negotiations still ongoing) some classics from the AR museum.

This two day race meeting will be held at the same time as the social event Alfesta!

Cheers !!!!!
