It's Dutton Time!

[Jamezilla]

This weekend (Sept 15 to 17) is the 2006 Alphera Dutton Rally.

http://www.duttonrally.com

The event is based in and around Central Victoria (Shepparton and Winton) but makes it's way back to town on the Sunday for events at Essendon Airport and Sandown Racecourse.

There are 3x SAU teams competing this year...

Car 30: Snowy and Scotland in the upgraded backup GT-R (White R33)

Car 36: Miss Juz and D1 Adam in the super sponsorised 200SX (Blue S15)

Car 49: Steve McQueen (Roy) and me in the mighty, reborn Silver Bullet (Silver R32)

We are all in the same group - so do Essendon at 9.30am Sunday - then Sandown at 1.00pm.

The other 97 cars in the field are made up of swanky M3s, Porkas, Rarris, V8 Muscle, cheater Evos - and apparently a certain R34 GT-R Z-Tune!

The road to Dutton has been fueled by heartache and pain - with some amazing effort made and challenges met to get the cars ready in time. We'd all love to see some SAU support!

Well if I gots nothing better to do this weekend, might just have to come check out the action in the fuel card express!

[Morgs]

Good luck guys, be sure to have some fun

Will be out there on the Sunday for a look!

[Leewah]

I may try and head down on Sunday if the weather is nice and don't have anything planned.

Remember James, you only need to win 1

[MissJuz]

Should be a fun weekend, but james we don't have any events at essendon airport its all at Sandown on Sunday.

My car is all ready to go so now we just have to wait for the big event to begin, hopefully the other SAU teams get there stuff finished before thursday!

Would be great to see some support from SAU Members down there.

Go Team Lil Blu!!

I should be in Shep on Friday night (accomodation pending) and for the day on Saturday.

Daft question, where is it in Shep? Will it be clearly sign posted? Not that I doubt the people I might be with won't know where it is anyway!

[GTRgeoff]

Go team!!

See you Sunday.

[HIZOKU]

i will come down to sandown on the sunday after i work on the cressida for a bit but if i get in the zone of working then i will have to give this a miss but we will see

[Snowman]

You sure its not at Essendon on Sunday Juz? The latest event schedule I got we were at Essendon in the morning at Sandown after lunch. But then you should have the manual now so you should know best.

Alan - we just drag up and down the main street at Shep. I mean where else in Shep could we possibly do motorsport?

[Snowman]

Oh - and despite the demise of the Dragon we'll still beat the silver bullet 58-0.

[Startrippa]

I'm going to pop own after the brock cuise (pending me waking up intime) to cheer you guys on

GO Team SAU!!!

Nice. Is Sandown a better spectator sport than Essendon?

Might take the little miss down to inject her veins with some motorsport!

James, is the Z-Tune actually gonna be entered into this Dutton?... coz that would be sweeet!

So what are the events at essendon and sandown?

Ohh and good luck everyone

[phunky_monkey]

See you on sunday guys, good luck! With my car not entered, you shouldn't have too many problems doing well...

[Roy]

Another all nighter backed up by what was something like a 3am finish. Buck up, lots of work to do to Ol Silver. Fingers crossed it all gets done in time. Still havent driven the thing for more then 30mtrs in 12 months

And now off to work so i still have a job.

[Jamezilla]

McQueen and I spotted the R32 Golf (car 33) in all it's stickery goodness parked outside the Playboy Mansion last night. Would have let the tyres down, but it's not in our class

Fern: 2x motorkhanas at Essendon then laps and another motorkhana at Sandown

Snows: after about 2hrs work last night, the bullet now has a perfectly working horn. You guys don't stand a chance

[Snowman]

Actually I've had 8hrs sleep every night this week. That's more important than any horn.

You boys better stop worrying about crap like dataloggers and other useless stuff and get some sleep tonight cause we don't need another Peter Brock incedent. Seriously.
