And this is the layout of what was at Essondon last year and I expect to be so again (26&27). Its going to look a lot different but thats basically the shape of the event.

Dutton footage is traditionally crap.

You'd think that maybe they would say show the fastest runs on each of the events or at least show a COUPLE of full runs of events so people can see what it's all about.

But no they like to just show 3s clips of cars moving doing possibly ANYTHING. The only people who know exactly what was happening is the person in the car. But general viewers have no idea.

For someone who has never seen this event in the flesh and would one day like to have a go (just to run and have some legal fun on varied environments) you're right. I have no idea of it's entirety and it's frustrating to watch on tv.

Is there anyway to get any better footage? Do the SAU guys take their own footage?

We will do this year - we have our very own "groupies" following us and will take good footage of the whole event. And not just of the SAU boys but of as much as possible. The links above were from our day at DECA on the weekend and we have about 3hrs of footage from there. We should have tripple that from Dutton! lol

Just got Dutton Entry list. 7 GTR's entered on the list! (Anyone else from here??)

Also noticed down at entry number 82 they have quietly slipped in the pairing of Dean Evans and Warren Luff. Hopefully they are driving either a stock Corrolla or a Stock Fraud or else we could all be in trouble. lol

Alrighty Simmo and Russell - we are now ready to take up the challenge.

We had a run at Winton on the weekend (Rnd 5 of our Club championship) but we also used the day to let our Dutton co-drivers have a turn behind the wheel of our cars.

Both me and my co-driver (Scotsman) had 2 three lap sessions in my car and we both had an identical fastest time of 1.35.2 which would have been good enough for 4th fastest in Dutton last year.

One of the other GTR teams were there also (Car 68) - Frank and Aaron and they ran times of 1.31.7 and 1.32.8 repectively! Stupid fast. Basically the biggest difference between out 2 cars is in the suspension and my new stuff goes in this Wed (couldn't get it fitted in time for last weekend) but that should make the cars pretty similar (I'll be about 30kw's down on power but thats about it)

And the rex boys in our little group ran a 1.35.7. So collectively we are as ready as we can be to take up the challenge this weekend. I can't wait and am damn excited!

:D
