gday mate
f**k you guys get CANED by eachother on the track
best part of the v8 ute racing!!!!
i have been following the gibbo 31 for a few years now.
31GUN on this forum is a crewie for the gibson r31 cars, so he has the low down on them all
but it is not unusual for them to win the races at the historic meets. things were getting good towards the end of last year when peter brock started racing in the same category (group a/c historics [correct me if that's wrong]) in the old torana. he pushed terry ashwood and rod markland quite hard but fortunately they beat him!
for those interested, here are the details for the 5 Gibson 31s
Chassis #1- Rod Marklands car.
Chassis #2- Written off at A.I.R. Skaife driving, punted by Win Percy.
Chassis #3- Owned by John Smallman in Vic. Ready to go.
Chassis #4- Sizzler car.
Chassis #5- Terry Ashwoods car.
at the upcoming june round @ oran park, both Rod and Terry will be racing their 31s. but ALSO, the Sizzler 31 (seen below) will be racing. it has been in storage in nz for 15 years, so there will now be 3 gibson r31s racing. and to top it off, the #3 has been finished off in victoria. so all going well, the historics will now see 4 gibson r31s on the track at any given time
i will post up details of this round
these cars are fantastic in the flesh! come out and support them
as for the gtr, it's expensive to run for terry who owns it. and he loves driving the 31
however, a victorian has purchased the GIO gtr, and is getting it up to standard to enter in this category as well. word is once entered, terry may be convinced to get out his winfield gtr for a spin..
some great things to come in the historics in 2007!
ps - thanks hooksy for the chassis info and dave for the pic
