Does anyone know much about the Mt Stuart rally in Townsville next June? Is it really just a hillclimb?

Starting to think about the next event, I had to turn down doing Buller with Gus Kennard next month coz i've already had too many days off, and with Indy coming up theres even more lost days......

High demand my man, high demand..... You should start charging a fee

[Marlin]

Yes yes sure can, but also looking for something new lads

[Snowman]

Surely you can think of a few more events between now and next June Ben other than Mt Buller

[Snowman]

The guys at Mountain Motorsports seem to be upto some stuff.

A proposed 3 day event on Pinnacle Rd - Mt Wellington (Hobart) over Australia Day weekend and another new Vic based event that will apparently be "the longest tarmac hillclimb sprint in the world". NFI where though as they say it will be 3hrs out of Melbourne which puts Hotham / Great Alpine Rd out of the question.

Bega rally 2009 is our goal as it is back on the calendar after being dropped for 2008. Still not decided if we will use the R32 GTST or the S13 Silvia as both are in final stages of prep and testing.

Beyond that we will need to see what happens with superlap for 2009 and hopefully step up to rally of Tas in the coming years.

Grippy.

As we have discovered our 2 Nissans will not qualify as "classic rally cars" for the Bega Valley Rally 2009. Will advise when we have a new motorsport plan for 2009.

Rgds,

Grippy.

Unfortunately this event is extremely unlikely to get up, that area of parkland reserve is very well protected.

[Marlin]

Yep, noticed

[t01-100]

So has anyone noticed that 32/33/34 GTR's get a less 10% weight tollerence further to flicking the additional 43kg rule?

I think Ben (sav_man) has!

Well, some of us are more perceptive than others!

[sav man]

ohh please do tell.

[Marlin]

I'm gonna wait until I can bolt a 7.0l alloy chev into a GTR using the sump/diff out of a HSV Coupe 4.

And then I might turbocharge it.

That should make up for my lack of driving ability.

[Snowman]

ohh please do tell.

Ze secret will be revealed in due course!

[sav man]

ohhh don't make me read the bloody regs in detail

[Marlin]

Ze secret will be revealed in due course!
