Quick Dutton Report and Thankyou's.

[Al]

What a bloody great effort!!

Was sadened to hear about your misfortune, but shit happens.

Congratulations, on the promising results.

Well done guys! I think Snowman and Gerald have done SAU and all Skyline owners proud.

Especially the one with the Porsche hehe love that photo Jamezilla.

I wonder if next year's event will be swamped with Skylines! Hope they don't change the rules and kick us out again

[Snowman]

Just a quick note to anyone that wanted to watch the show - due to some comparitively unimportant thing called the Olympics the coverage time has changed.

So it will now be shown on SBS this Sunday (15th) from 12:00 - 2:00pm.

BTW - Simmo - just checked all the event results - 18.4s for the 800m - NO WAY is that thing "stock except for some handling upgrades"

Wait til me and G roll out our "stock" car for next year. Plans have already begun!

[Simmo]

Thanks crew.

I'm a little more aquainted with the car now Kel, so I went a little faster this rally.

Thanks Andrew will do mate.

Be sure if I'm not behind the wheel of the evo I'll be behind the wheel of something!

No joke the car is stock as a rock, besides the exhaust and suspension!

Its pretty guttered though so that helps cornering and acceleration. In the NSW dutton we were doing 12.4's at WSID.

Cheers

Simmo

[Jamezilla]

Yes - congrats Simmo. Excellent car to watch, especially on the cone courses

More photos...

Noble - meh... everyone wants to see what's in the back of the 550 Spyder (is a twin-turbo 911 jobbie):

Some heavy competition:

Snowy feeling the hurt of Golgo's supertanker-like fuel economy:

Smart = not smart. Oh - and the guy next to the truck is 2004 Mr Shepparton:

[Jamezilla]

Steven 'my dad won Bathurst in a GTR' Richards brought his new toy - 1971 Escort with works 2L Cosworth motor. Not slow:

Evo 3 (1st place) trying to catch Simmo in Evo 8 (3rd place):

Of course it comes like that from the factory officer... He had a bit of trouble with traction:

Gerald planning his corner approach for next year:

[Jamezilla]

Gerald is not discouraged by his competition:

Can you believe we fit all this, plus the spare tyre and 4-people in a GTR:

Japan again showing Germany and the USA how to do things properly:

Hey, there's no engine in here!:

[ylwgtr2]

man that guys arse is wider than the truck

[Jamezilla]

Note the camera stuck to the side - should make some interesting footage... Snowy caught and passed a TT-Soarer:

Lucky this guy's not driving:

Mustang looked very tough - sounded even better:

Golgo looking 'Bling Bling' at Fed Square:

[Roy]

More pics, im starting to feel as though i was actually there

Roy - we should have entered...  sounded like a whole lot of fun.  Next year i'll be there.

Looking at the competition the old R32 would have had been creamed, but westill would have had a ball...oh well Phillip Island will have to do... spilt milk and all?!?!?!

[Snowman]

Leon T - your brother did some nice work man!

Nice action shots. I like these ones.

Warren is SUCH a ricer isn't he? haha.

[Roy]

So did anyone catch our SAU celebrities on SBS yesterday? I was dirty they didnt show Snowmans Winton footage.

[Duncan]

roy -> :slap:

Farq I missed it....did anyone tape it?

[inark]

well that sucked arse... only got to see the last 5 mins... got to see the GOLGO mobile tho!!!!

would also be interested if anyone has a tape of it... bring it to the meeting on tuesday

[Snowman]

They showed about 5 secs of my Winton footage! haha. We got a couple of shots of both my car in action and then Golgo (plus James ugly mug at the end). We are going to try and contact the company that did the footage and get the whole Winton thing sent to me.

I loved the pics of the Gleeny/Gainsmith R32 rear wheel where you really got an appreciation of the HIACS working.
