Title: Mallala Historics
Post by: alfagtv58 on April 11, 2011, 02:01:55 PM
Mallala Historics will be running over the Easter break.  I have entered.  If there are any SA Alfisti heading down for a look (or a run!) come and say hello, I'll be the lonely looking guy with the red Alfetta in Group S  ;D

Just drove back from Adelaide this afternoon. Looks like Tony Norris & his 105 GTV  are getting an early start for Mallala.  Passed in opposite directions near Bordertown.

Hi Phil,
There will be a few of SA Alfisti camped near the gate thats nearest the timing tower from the paddock area. You will see the Alfa flags flying!.
Cheers
Andrew

Day 1 done & dusted.

Qualified 4th outright. Stoked with that.  Race 1 was diabolical!! Had an off and every time I'm in traffic the car comes off cam out of the slow corners an I go backwards....grrrr finished 9th.
R2 was a bit better, finished 7th.  Stay tuned for tomorrows results :)

Hi All,
Great to see Phil Basket and Tony Norris flying the flag,Tony had an early shower but will have to wait for Phil to give detailes.
Unfortunately I had to retire Black Jack early on Saturday due to head gasket issues but within 4hrs we were back with my mighty Red Alfetta GTV who ran like a dream for Sunday.
Congrats to Phil for a good weekend.
Cheers
Andrew

Sunday saw us have three races. I picked up one more place in the first and finished 6th in all 3 races, which is probably about where I should have been.

It was good to catch up with all the SA Alfisti, good luck this weekend guys....PS I think Andrew picked up a place in one of the regularity events!

Tony Norris unfortunately had steam coming out of #1 cylinder after qualifying, so he had to park it.

This is a great event, very relaxed and a great atmosphere.  I will be back, but I will have better brake pads!!

And....a massive huge thanks to Hung for lending me his trailer for the weekend, really appreciate it.
