David Towe · 24 Aug 2008, 11:03 (Ref:2274223)

Just found out that we have a record entry list for the Group A and C (combined) races, 47 entries at the moment

. I'm not sure of any other details but someone will have more info for us all.
Cheers
David

Looking forward to this one after missing out the last couple of years with other event clashes......

David Towe · 25 Aug 2008, 09:33 (Ref:2274889)

21 Group A and 25 Group C cars

racer69 · 25 Aug 2008, 10:26 (Ref:2274903)

Almost worthwhile having a seperate race for each of them if there was enough room

Best of luck there this year David, and hopefully you can have a trouble free weekend this time

Reload · 25 Aug 2008, 10:50 (Ref:2274919)

Travelling up from Canberra with another 27 HSV,s and HDT,s to sit in the car club section and cheer you and Norm on, David.

Hopefully its not like a few years ago when it pelted down all day and 25% of the cars didnt have any wets.

David Towe · 25 Aug 2008, 10:52 (Ref:2274923)

Thanks racer, I'm hopeful of a top ten outright. A full grid of 48(?) may well be a possibility. Separate grids may happen in coming years. The obvious way to split grids would be Group A and Group C, but I'd prefer to see the grid split by over and under 2 litres, that would put on a much better show for the paying public.

Bruce Moxon · 25 Aug 2008, 10:56 (Ref:2274924)

I'm supposed to be impartial and cynical - but this is one of the things I'm really looking forward to this year.

That's a lot of cars - wow!

I remember that year, I drove the 635 on very old wets (that I still have) and it was appalling. The 635 has undergone a full resto by the new owner who can afford to do it justice and will be there this year.

I'm hoping I don't have to start from the rear of grid this year for any reason, it's a lonnggg way back to position 48

Two things stuck out for me that year, the XU1,s loved it and Big Rev Kev didnt let the conditions slow him down in the Camaro

cavvy · 25 Aug 2008, 20:05 (Ref:2275170)

I saw a report Paul Stubber gave the #76 car a 'dust off' at Barbagallo recently - is Paul going to drive or will Jason Richards get the job again?

kramer · 26 Aug 2008, 01:10 (Ref:2275311)

I think Jason only got the gig 'cause Paul was on holiday from racing - a CAMS-enforced holiday, that is.

I’m going for the first time this year, making the trip up with Dad. The MCM website doesn’t seem to have any news updates or entry lists, is there any new info like that available on the event?

You'll love it !!

The website doesn't move much and the only other info that i know of is in the Musclecar Mag, but i dont know when the latest one is due out ??

drbob · 26 Aug 2008, 07:08 (Ref:2275371)

I have entered my Schnitzer Group A BMW M3 (Chris Dubois driving) subject to permit to compete and the BF Goodrich Group C RX7. But unfortunately gearbox gremlins killed the RX7 so I have swapped to the trusty old Group N Lotus Cortina

The next issue is due out tomorrow.

David Towe · 26 Aug 2008, 07:21 (Ref:2275375)

I look forward to competing with another BM drbob, I think there could be as many as 6 or 7 on the grid next year, we're taking over. For the paying public, to see the fully restored 635 that I owned briefly will be worth the price of admission alone, I've seen progress pics and it should be magnificent!!

That Paul would haul the car across the country to Sydney says heaps about the man & his committment to the enjoyment of historic fans.

Oh, yeah - exactly. He brought both cars - the Camaro and the John Harvey A9-X. And didn't get to drive - and was never going to be driving.

A full event schedule has now been posted.Go through the links at www.eastern-creek-raceway.com.In past years the entry lists have not been put on line.

cavvy · 27 Aug 2008, 09:24 (Ref:2276137)

Dropped in to Thunder427s shop today & the Bob Jane Camaro is undergoing a 'freshen up' - motor rebuild by Matt Lagoon, bits from the US - assured it will be back together & at Eastern Creek. Good luck guys !!

Shame the teams very original BMW 635 wont be on show - be interesting to see it next to the ex David Towe JPS 635.

David Towe · 28 Aug 2008, 08:32 (Ref:2276741)

Got the entry list today and my old 635 is not on it. I'll try to find out why and let you know. 45 entries in Group A/C, 4 races, one in separate groups.
