FOSC Bathurst @ Easter... - Page 2

Belly13 · 9 Mar 2008, 23:18 (Ref:2147863)

Are there any entry lists or official timetables out yet? I know a few people from Bathurst who are interested in attending, but they just can't find any info about it. By the way, what exactly is 'regularity'?
Thanks.

Regularity Trials are a variation of the rules for Historic competition to allow those individuals who are unwilling or unable to race to run their vehicles for the enjoyment of themselves and the spectators. As such, it is exempted from some of the requirements of race competition.

Historic vehicles complying with Group J, Group K, Group L and Group S regulations are eligible to compete. Sports and Grand Touring vehicles, manufactured before the 31st December 1970 are also eligible to compete.

A Level 2S licence is necessary to contest these events, and they are essentially time trials. Competitors nominate lap times before the competition, and the winner is the driver who achieves lap times closest to those nominated.

Regularity Trials provide an opportunity to field interesting cars not suited to racing and also provide drivers with an opportunity to get the feel of driving on a race track, possibly as a prelude to racing.

And with the age of most of the drivers and cars this is as "regular" as they get

When you say "shooting the event". Are you filming for anything or just camcorder?

Bullett · 16 Mar 2008, 09:42 (Ref:2153400)

alfacors is a photographer

My car has been tuned and I now have it at home with me. Get the tyres changed and give it a good clean and I am ready to go.
5 more sleeps and I will get my first taste of Mount Panorama in a racecar

alfacors · 19 Mar 2008, 07:03 (Ref:2156260)

Any 10/10 members who are interested in photos from the event, PM me your details (car number, which races etc).... discounts for 10/10 members

Sultan - I've already been asked to shoot the QLD MX5 boys so I'll have pics of you during the weekend

Belly13 · 19 Mar 2008, 10:26 (Ref:2156364)

500 entrants for the weekend? What a turnout!! I'm looking forward to it. Me and the lads will be there over the weekend with a portable BBQ and an esky of 'goodies', enjoying the racing. Good luck to everyone competing this weekend. I hope there are no major accidents and everyone has a good run. Mtpanorama, thanks for the programme mate. Looks like a good weekend. Will the track be open to the public on Friday, or just on the weekend? Does anybody know if there will be a programme of the event available at the circuit?

Friday is practice and qualifying...come along if you can...I'm sure you will be able to buy a program...maybe over in the control tower (see the ladies).

I have to get my beauty sleep for tomorrow, driving up in the morning...safe trips everyone.

alfacors · 19 Mar 2008, 12:51 (Ref:2156450)

LOL Sultan - you can thank Cal for that one

See you up there.
If I'm not around the circuit, I'll be based out of Garage 27 with the Alfa boys

Bullett · 21 Mar 2008, 07:34 (Ref:2157878)

Apparently a small shortage of Volunteer's put a small delay on preceedings this morning???

**GTRMagic** · 21 Mar 2008, 08:34 (Ref:2157908)

Is there a reason for no info on Natsoft yet?

davelise · 21 Mar 2008, 08:57 (Ref:2157921)

Today was untimed practice.

alfacors · 22 Mar 2008, 11:35 (Ref:2158826)

What a fantastic day today. The rain stayed away, and the racing was awesome. Such a huge variety of cars too...... Improved Production, Marque Sports, Production Sports, Group N..... can't wait for tomorrow.

**GTRMagic** · 22 Mar 2008, 22:35 (Ref:2159232)

Natsoft Timing

glenn_a · 23 Mar 2008, 02:42 (Ref:2159323)

B24 · 23 Mar 2008, 03:32 (Ref:2159332)

Or try skr1967 (username) and you will be ok
It was good racing
Well presented cars
HUGE fields

Bullett · 23 Mar 2008, 06:42 (Ref:2159359)

Looks like IP and Sports Cars had some fantastic racing, maybe the all Mazda race hurt the IP grid? Looked like a good weekend overall.
