The funny thing is that I was going to enter just to experience Bathurst once. As it turns out the car is just about ready but I'll bee in Queensland that weekend. There's always next year, touch rust, err wood.

This should be a good event to see some fast VW's competing. Its a good event to spectate with 7 beetles (that I know of are entered) and nearly as many VW powered open wheelers competing.

I did a 56.38 1st in class and 33 o/r with a new record.
Saturday saw a Formula ford hit the wall with a struck throttle cable completely destroying the car and sending the driver to hospital, has since been released with broken ribs.
Sunday had a new GT3 (less than 1 month old) touch the wall up the top of the Mountain at high speed and only managed to bend his tow hook that's screwed into the front of the car and slightly scuff some paint on the nose.........
To those that decided not to come up and compete..... don't miss the next weekend up here.:beer

🤪Crazy people -go the Gorrilla v's Old Herbie v's Garfield. 😎What a blast, hopefully next time I will have more guts and get closer to the boys. Although after H's last run on sunday he could hardly walk, too much sideways movement for me!!
