Old Smokey

Now the dust has settled. I would like to thank again everyone for making the effort to travel and support the club for this event. We would also like to thank all competiors for their understanding in very trying conditions that plagued the event.

I would also like to especially thank all those club members supported me and who gave up their long weekend to help the club run the event.

I would like to also than Brad Davis for running the timing for us. As well as Michael Turner for assisting our scurtineers in their understanding of what was required of them.

Again thanks to everyone. The club will strive to make the event a whole lot better next year.

Brian,

From a burgeoning club perspective I think the track looked marverlous, the officials were friendly and helpful and the racing on track from one an all was excellent. The issues we had with the loop was nothing short if unforeseen, there's nothing you could have done to prevent it and there was a huge amount of support when it came to resolving it and we finished the event, be it Brad looking like he was going to have a coronary... So again, thanks mate, I wouldnt want your seat for all the frost in Kambah!!!! (And sorry for nervously blocking your view all weekend!)

Big thanks to the two scrutineers for their tireless effort in that freeze drying wind, steak sammich hit the spot, loved it! Thanks to PJ for the last minute supply of tyres, fuel and clutch bits, Timmy, Ricky, Nick, Dan, Frank, Chris, Ric and.. and.. and... all our RC buddies for a great weekend of racing.

BEING THERE...
It was great to see a newcomer from the "Gong" Peter, his third time outing in a GT car and he's entered in a sanctioned meeting. After the presentation he came over and chatted about his experience, an earlier struggle with a bitza engine, hem mentioned a freshy a mate told him to put it in, I was of the same mind... cutting it short, his last words to me were...

GT is working at bringing newcomers into the hobby.

Quals and Race...

Tourers.

Jeff and Steven weren't there, Peter and Jesse were though, and they both stood up to the challenge with Aaron and Alex taking the top four spots in Qualifying. Luke had the watchdog's seat shifting the wide line foam out a little further while the field gobbled him up. In the B heats, Rob Nunn had an awesome car setup and duelled with Ben Nunn, Darren meaves, Tim Moylan and my Territory buddy Chris Hutchinson set an early keeper to keep everyone honest for the finals.

George dominated the first semi with Darren and Tim, Our semi had Rob, Ben and Luke battling early, I heard Rob flamed out and it was real close but Dan Kradalfer snuck into the A's with a good drive.

In the final, PJ popped a rear diff, Jesse took to driving from the front, Aaron got kicked in the rod and his ball popped out... Seriously, he drove from the rear and passed all but Jesse and got back into third, I know he pulled 2 laps back on Luke and we were one second off his lap times. Im not sure where Alex was, we could have easily missed each other in pits, so he was ahead of us. Benn, Tim Darren and Luke made up the rest of the field with lots of gooooood racing out there!!

1/8th Scale
I'll keep this short...

Nick, Kane, Tim, was flying, PJ went supersonic and that wise cat Ric snatched a top four in his last round of quals, he was smiling like one too.
Finals PJ drove without a hitch, Ric found the track and bedded in a solid run, Kane and Tm were having clutch shoe issues (dusting), not sure what happened to Nick and he dropped out opening the final. Michael was flying, for all the wrong reasons... PJ won it, there was mechanical attrition and check out the ACT website for results.

The sun had dusted, we all met on track and shivered goodbyes... Sorry guys, no vision this time.. Too busy hooked up truing tyres and tuning to get a good crack at it!

Brian, when I bust my nuts for three seasons of Bathurst, I found out how overwhelming it is when fatigue breaks you down, a sincere thanks for all the effort, we had an awesome time at the ACT champs, thank you and the crew!
