Excellent weekend it sounds like. As always.
I will be there for my annual fix. Hope the decent weather is as well. You can stick your GP, this is the best meeting of the year. Any other 10-Tenthers going to be there? A bit of the blurb from the VHRR website to back up and expand on David's opening post: http://www.vhrr.com/phillip_island.htm Quote:

I wasn't complaining! Anyway I think I'm getting a small feature in the programme, so more than happy with the 'exposure' I'm getting!
Look forward to meeting you. James |

I would like to be there, but my usual accommodation has fallen through, so I might not end up going Shame, as this is one of my "musts" each year.

Once again I'm hoping we can be down to cover it.
We're trying to find an external sponsor now to get some cameras down there for the weekend. We have the support again of The All Seasons Resort so accommodation isn't the problem but we need the dollars to hire cameras. |

Superb entry!
Just wondering where the R32's and other RS500's are that entered the main classic last season? Would be great if the 2 TWR Vitesses could be tempted over from New Zealand at some point as well? Last edited by chunterer; 4 Mar 2011 at 16:04. |

One R32 is driverless (Terry is O'seas) and the other is undergoing a full mechanical rebuild (as if it wasn't fast enough already) I don't think we're missing any Sierras are we? Robert Ingram is there as is Ross Donelly in the ex Tweedie's ex PJ car. The ex Damon Hill car that George Nittis owns is the only one MIA isn't it.
My tip for winners, Stapleton and Singleton.....unless it rains then look for any of the BMWs |

The Labatt's RS500 is currently on the market, surprised it hasn't sold already. The ANZ RS500s are both owned by the same bloke, he's only running one at this meeting. None of the 6 DJR RS500s are actively competing these days. Two of the 4 Caltex RS500s are under restoration and will be competing soon.

Great weekend!
Fabulous circuit, great meeting, a privilege to be there. Great to meet some many people, including some 10/10thers, E.B. and inpitlane especially.
Will put a brief report on my Thread Heading Downunder, but a fuller one on my blog. James |

Hi James, I was at Southern Loop on Sunday, the distance to the pits meant I stayed there until the end of the day when there was no sign of the TR5 in the pits. I should have a shot or two of you, have not checked photos yet.
It was a fantastic event in general, although as above I didn't see a lot bar on-track stuff, no wander through the pits etc. Things like the Stratos (the sound!), Rusty French's black Porsche showing a lot of speed from the rear of the field, and generally lots of really close-fought racing made it a great day out. I was particularly impressed by the speed of John Briggs' Veskanda, which looked a lot quicker than last time I saw it. It didn't set the fastest lap (1:36.1) in the race I saw but pulled out a lot of ground on Jamie Larner in the Ralt RT2 in very short order before appearing to ease off slightly. In the first race on Saturday he ran 3.5 sec faster (1:32.5) - looking at the track's lap records that was some way off what John Bowe (who raced the car in its heyday) did in the car 11 years ago! (1:29.4) It takes a very quick car to lap under 1:30. |

Hi John, sorry we didn't meet. I was in garage 12, well away from the rest of Group S. After finding some of the key guy to thank, I pulled out of the pits about 1740.
Would love to see any shots you have, especially from your vantage point, as I got a lot quicker through there on Sunday! If you, or anyone else, can recommend web addresses for local snappers (photographers) I'd like to know as I like some shots, especially with iconic backgrounds if possible. Targa next, you going to be there? |

Hi James... Glad you had a good weekend after a dodgy start with the fuel line probs. Coincidence that Ian Watt, one of those who helped you out and pointed you in the direction of some help with parts runs a Triumph 20000 in Group N Historic Touring Cars..... indeed the car he runs was sold to him by me after I used it for a Bathurst (now there is a track you would love) support race many moons ago. Would be fair to say he has put a fair bit of work into it since then though.
Anyway great to catch up with you and have a natter, and all the best for the Targa. I trust the car is at or has been at the injection place and is now fully tuned and able to be used to its full potential. Good also to catch up and have a blah blah blah with David Towe.... Great looking car David, and doesn't go to bad at all! I tried to say hi to David Paterson as well but I never got to find him, although I saw the car. Sorry DP, but the thought was there! On another note I posted some photos I took over the weekend in the other PI Classic thread, over in the Australasian Touring Car Forum here at 10/10. Sorry I did not do a very good job of taking pics of the competing 'Tenthers', mainly due to a set of dud rechargeable batteries There are plenty of other pics from the weekend though, if anyone is interested in having a look.... Click here to go straight to the post with the pics posted in it. It was a great weekend though Last edited by E.B; 24 Mar 2011 at 08:29. |

James, I sought you out to say hello, but every time i came by you were up to your elbows in Triumph, so i kept telling myself, "come back later when he's not busy", but you always were. |

Phillip Island Footage Now on-line
Raw footage from the PI historic is now on the In Pit Lane Youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoiEON6jwMM
Sadly Youtube have squished the screen ratio and despite adding the proper tag it's not changing. Still looks and sounds pretty good though. |
