hrd-hr30 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I'll be there too - I'm a Stage Safety Officer for SS2-12 Montville Hill, SS3-10 Diamondfield, and SS4-8 Brown's Creek. If you see a white R32 GTR with Stage Safety Officer on the windcreen, come and say hi. Street Party Saturday night and the officials party Sunday night should make it a pretty good weekend. There's a R33 GTR competing too - one to watch out for if anyone's spectating.

Dale FZ1 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 There's a R33 GTR competing too - one to watch out for if anyone's spectating.Harry I spectated the Belli Creek Rd stage today. The GTR sounded dreadful. There was some VERY loud whistle under throttle, but not a turbo whistle or leaky IC piping whistle either. More like a badly made muffler design whistle that I encountered years ago with a Nelson truck muffler. Nice to see it running, but my opinion it wasn't quick in the section I saw it running. My pick was a blue XR8 Falcon, a GTV6, an Escort, and Siddins Z-car. A few of the 911s were worth a look/listen, and a few of the Evo/STi runners were obviously fast too. Vandersee's Skelta must have an exceptionally low centre of gravity and runs like its on rails. Bring on Peachester tomorrow.

Bring on Peachester tomorrow. The GTR was a let down, tidy well presented car, but let down. I heard many rumors getting around Noosa about that car and how quick it was meant to be.. I know the owner made special requests about it not idling more then "30 seconds" when it was in at the Holden Dealership as it fouled plugs or something. Siddins Zed is awesome! Love seeing him fly up the Hill climb, awesome driver and awesome car! As biased as I am, I loved all the 911's - Kicking myself I couldn't convince the two other directors to foot the entry fee to enter our 911 C2 Always next year Heard the owner of the GTHO was offered $920k and said no? And the owner(s) of the Lamborghini Miura were offered twice what they paid for it 2 years ago? Anyone confirm?

hrd-hr30 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Siddins is always fast. I've had some good dices with him at Morgan Park's QLD SuperSprint Series in the old days with my IPRA Datsun 1200 (2000cc) but he always came out on top. I got him back at last year's QLD Challenge Rally with the GTR though. Anyway, on our stage on Saturday (3-10 Diamonfield) Siddins beat Richards by 3.5 sec, as well as Denyer, Quinn etc. Only the Skelta was quicker IIRC. That was a good way to spend my last weekend with the GTR - the new owner picks it up next weekend. About 700km of nice country roads over the weekend, and as Stage Saftey Officer I was allowed access to our stages after the road closure made the 1deg morning at Kandanga worthwhile...
