BIG NEWS Duncan Handley makes the podium!!

[GTRgeoff]

Mate, I woulda charged $5K for that type of info

Duncan, sorry to hear about the engine. Snowy would say it's what you get for working on it yourself.

[Guest DIRTgarage]

Well done Duncan and the boys from BSM, I heard there were a lot of accidents on the weekend!!

Did Jeff Fear from SSS race??

The DP's/DIRTgarage formula ford came a creditable 15th place in only its second outing...i think there were 26 starters. We nearly got taken out on saturday by the vodaphone entry, but some evasive action by Darin kept the weekend together.

Well done Duncan, I would have been there to watch however the drag day was on

However I just noticed that according to Sundays laptime sheet you cheated

[Kel]

Duncan also neglected to mention that Saturday night saw him come down with a nasty cold which has kept him home today!!! Not a bad drive Sunday for someone with a head full of snot!

Bad luck on the clash with the Voda drivers Paul- we've had a few run ins with two of those drivers in the past when they used to race a different class!

[BU5TER]

GO Duncan you the man

gee thanks for sharing the head full of snot info kel.

I just looked at the sheets again and saw that Walls RX-7 did a 1.12 in the race. no wonder he shot past us on the straight like we were standing still. d'oh.

[Duncan]

1.12? fark. I want slicks. Production sports cars are cheaters

haha, that's what they say about your AWD. Even my mate Alan in the birght yellow 1974 911 is lapping quick enough to be second on the grid in improved open class, and he is running in class B prod sports!!

Anyway, enough of my useless comparisons. any word on your engine yet? are we looking at new hose or new plug?

Also, Spencer said if you need any brake fluid let me know as we have heaps now and he got it pretty cheap and will happily sell you some at cost. He went a bit nuts and bought 24 litres... It seems to handle the temp much better than the brembo race fluid we had and it's less than half the price. noice.

it looks like we wont be racing at wakefield as rob's not to keen. also not a good track to take such a nice car like the GT3 as it's often just one big carnage fest. I may come down with you guys though. I reckon you should be pretty competetive at wakefield.

Go Duncan, is this likely to be televised?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Unfortunately I don't think combined touring has paid it's TV coverage fees this season for this round so I don't think it will be.

Prod Sports will be though

It's a shame that some of the combined teams I think weren't willing to pay or didn't pay on time, something like that. I'm sure duncan can elaborate. It's such a great category to watch too, i'm sure it would go down well on the telly.

[Duncan]

Actually the TV coverage is an "interesting" deal.

We put in place an agreement with AVE to televise the year at a price. They then came back with a price 20% higher 4 weeks later and said take it or leave it.

We called their bluff and left it.

However each of the first 3 rounds various competitors including BSM came up with the money for coverage, I did not hear confirmation if this round was done.

It will also get coverage in Motorsport news next issue

Richard I had a chat to Spencer, can you grab 2 bottles I'll give it a run at wakefield Will give you a shout about logistics once I know the deal with the car...I have to decide whether to enter tomoz too

[Bec]

Well done Duncan.

Top effort.

[Duncan]

Here's some funny pics from the start of the race......

Titled:

"From 6th to 3rd in 8 seconds" or "4wd is for cheaters"

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Well done Duncan

Targa WA is on in September if your interested in a drive over;)

Cheers

Paul

[Duncan]

hahaha I couldn't keep up with you guys on that cruise let alone racing :lol:

but....does targa wa have a website? not this year but I would be very interested next year

[Duncan]

[Sydneykid]

Bugger bout the tv coverage. If you know any dates of snippets or something likely to be on please let me know - I don't really watch much tv so don't know when anything is on.

Bah I wish I could drive heh heh.
